[dorkbotpdx-blabber] D'oh! But thanks!

Thanks to Dr. T for the Mouser parts.  Fast service with a beer chaser,
who can complain?  But I got home with my goodies, thinking I'd replace
the blown fuse in my multimeter and be able to measure current again,
and what do I see?  There's a spare fuse in there next to the battery.
Damn, I've been measuring the voltage across shunt resistors for two
weeks (or using the 10A scale) and I could'a had a mA!  Oh well, live &
learn.

Thanks for the FREE! goodies, too.  Does anybody know what the 0-5000hr
gizmo is?  My newly-resurrected meter shows 1.3M in one direction and
915K in the other (it's polarized, somehow).  Maybe I'll hook it up to a
battery and see what happens...  Looking closer, there's a small clear
segment at the bottom of the capillary tube, and a copper electrode.
Plus, copper solutions are blue.  Does the tube get bluer, or whiter?  I
guess time will tell.  About 5000 hours' worth of time.
