I thought of electronics a lot as a kid growing up, my dad was a whiz at repairs and even at one point had his own tv repair shop. I paid attention and learned how to fix things. But that was before everything went digital, remote and touch pads.


I dont normally get lost, as I like to look at paper maps real good before going someplace thats not my norm.
