It's fun. Sorry but my day job is now Software Quality Assurance (I break
things) and while I enjoy the challenge (Software Defined Networks) it
isn't relaxing. I miss the simplier building electronics and programming
them (though I do get some of that with my HA stuff). There is nothing
cooler than be able to say 'I made that' despite the rest of the world
having no clue the effort.

And yes, I have several of my boards from the 80's still. All 6809 based.
That's my favorite process.
