Some other pics from this morning's Comet NEOWISE expedition.

Venus, Toronto just before sunrise, and the sunrise.

Got up nice and early and I managed to find comet NEOWISE.

The thrill of finding it is pretty awesome. It looks great in binoculars.

Even got a picture through my refractor. It was getting too bright to get a great shot, plus I don't know what I'm doing. Regardless, here it is.

Caya has no love of the current weather. #cats #heatwave

That face!

Even with the eye problems (that aren't slowing her down at all!).

This is Mr. Kitty. He was my wife's cat when we met and was a stellar companion for 19 years. This is our favourite picture of him, taken a few months before he died. My wife says this picture reveals his soul.

He loved to snuggle with my wife when she slept by curling up in her shoulder under her arm. He was an amazing cat.

First pic is looking at the item with the store I want to pick it up from chosen. It says it's available. Handy! It's close by and faster than shipping.

Go to checkout, now it says it's out of stock. Gee, thanks.

Perspective.

First part has arrived.

Finished!

I ruined 20 key switches before I went to the technique that doesn't ruin them. The PCB looks intact, too.

Now to deal with those stabilizers...

Desoldering has taken a new approach.

It's slow, but I am managing to take off the switches without completely destroying them.

I doubt the PCB will be okay, but that's not the end of the world.

I basically don't want to take it apart by smashing it.

What I'm doing is heating up the contact points and pulling on the key switch enough to pry it loose.

It's slow going.

Love these shipping options.

Best and brightest.

Sold on clickykeyboards.com (but tells you to buy it on Amazon).

Finished!

The 'Z' key was always missing, by the way.

Now in the drying phase.

Getting there.

This sucker's a tad dirty.

Crinkle cheeks! #cats

When Caya wants attention, she does this and chirps at me. #caturday

These are my cats. They love each other. That is all.
