    Weird Vacuum pump with tach sensor help?

    Keith_J thank you for the explanation of how that circuit works. Not sure what a comparator is though. I'll keep investigating and see if I can drive a tach with that circuit and my vacuum pump/ess unit. Could I ask you more about that circuit from Lee Wagner?

    A little Snow at the Dinkey Creek Bivouac last Weekend

    I've been to Dinkey Creek but it was a long time ago. How did you fare with the fire? It was BAD. My brother lives in Shaver. He worked for Cal Trans but is now retired. Hope you make it okay with the fire. Nice truck!

    We had those come through West Colton, Ca. yard going to/from Ft. Irwin to play war games. Lots of trains from Ft. Hood Tx. Lots of M1 Abrams!!! Before U.P. took over they transferred to the Santa Fe lines that took them to Ft. Irwin. Wish I had took some pics. :(
