That moment you have found it.

I knew I had this laying somewhere around the house and never could find it. A folded up length of 22-4, what I used to call burg wire. Short for burglar/alarm wire. Got this when I used to do home theater, alarm, and security installations. Each wire is stranded and insulated. Probably around 100ft or so of it there. Found it in a box out in the open in my shop where I do all my milling for pedals and wood projects. Many pedals will be born from this. I Love moments like this and just had to share.

Good stuff!  I sometimes use phone wire - your stuff there is better.

Only complaint I have so far is the insulation is pretty thin. Not sure how well it will hold up to heat when soldering. We shall see.

This cables are very nice for build pedals with. Sometimes i use wires like this when i can find here on a foreign thrash. Phone cables i already used, Mike but i have problems with it because it broken easy  You need technique and patient to use it.

I, too, have lengths of 4 core alarm cable, from working for alarm installers. only, the wire strands in mine are much thicker and fewer than 'normal' hook-up, and the insulation is thinner, scared of heat, so largely unusable.

I think it has something to do with how clumsy/simple alarm install techs are/were.

but found, and found things go top of the pile. nice socks, by the way, funny how socks/shoes appear so often in people's pics hereabouts.

Yeah, the strands are pretty thick on this too. I'll have to give it a go and see how well it works.

As for the socks, I am just realizing now that it appears they didn't match, lol.  That's what happens when my wife folds my clothes. Funny, we went out yesterday too but, of course, the shoes hid the differences.

That moment you found it... is usually shortly after you've given up searching and ordered a replacement for it.

This was my clue...

Quite some years ago I bought a set of hex Keys for almost nothing in a supermarket on a vacation abroad. It's great quality and I have used it lot. So I was pretty irritated when the 6 mm key disapeared,the one I use most. But then I found exactly the same set a week ago in my local supermarket. Happily I returned home with my catch, but not even an hour after I came home I found the missing key! The one that had been missing for months, and not been found in several searches.

I didn't return the new set. I guess the Best insurance against something going missing  is having a spare.

nice socks, by the way

Dammit, beat!  I saw the pic and was scrolling down, thinking "I hope Duck's not been here yet..."

Took me a minute but I finally saw the baby. Thought it was that they each had one leg but the tree looked weird, lol.

cause they didn't match, either?

back on topic, I'm lost for seeing any baby. [edit :] as you were, I see it now.

also, here's one just for thermionix:
