@Jeanna

I have been reading up on some of the posts I have missed, now thankfully I'm up to date.
Now then, lets seeee what do we have we here 

@All,
Well it sure is a good thing I am doing this for my own edification and not for your approval!  Your silence on this afternoon's report is deafening!
Here is another one. Now, don't go to sleep!
I think this is really cool.

Wait til I put in something really powerful.

Mabeeee we are all in shock and struck dumb and carnt reply he he he. 
Wellll Im getting tired now and due a sleep, trouble is, Im at 180 degrese from you lot, an upsidedown to boot ha ha.
Knowing you Jeanna, you will come up with something powerfull, look out all, get the tin hats on, something big is going to happen,,,,,

Seriously Jeanna, as Bill and a couple of others may have mentioned, you do, doo excellent work, I have also noticed over the years, you have the ability to roll three times as much work into your Joule Thief or "stubblefield" projects as "almost" anyone else, not trying to over state this, just taking notice.

I also, like Bill have have noticed the thorough way you record all your obversations, can I prove it, yes.
One of the photos you posted of a JT has also come along for the ride, the waveforms can be seen in your jottings, I don't know of anyone else who goes to these lengths, but then again you are a scientist.

I also read the posts (which can take me quite a while as I have dialup), and I think for quite a while about what I have read, not only your posts, but all others as well. (then I forget it).

The amount of research you do puts me to shame, I'm not saying go slow, just keep going at the pase you have set.

Well its 10:10 PM here, time for me to hit the sack, so if there is any flaming, I'll be better able to handle it with a fresh mind.

hooroo all

well, didn't get around to winding a mk2 today, hope to have it done in a day or 2 and
if all works out ok, i will post some results along with pics.

Thanks all for the reply's.

@electricme, i got good results with the mk1, mixed results with other experiments..
but a good way to learn, Trial and Error..  good to hear from you.

@WilbyInebria, thankyou, i didn't notice the discusion you were having until after i posted,
i now know what you mean by 'perfect timing'

@Pirate88179, Thankyou for the welcome, i hope to post some photo's soon.

@jeanna, i'm the one that should be thanking you, your persistence with the mk-series is one of the
reasons i have started replicating the mk1, and now the mk2. i am glad my results were of some
interest to you.

Thank you @mk1, and for all the information you have posted on your mk-series.

well, tis late and i'm betting my kids will be up early, Happy Easter....

I think the limit is 250 kB. I usually reduce size and convert to gif.
