The most dangerous thing I've ever done
The other day, I did the most dangerous thing I've ever done. I disassembled a TV. Now you're saying "That doesn't sound so dangerous", but the fact of the matter is that a TV is one of the most dangerous things to dissassemble. Due to the charge of the capacitors, if you hit something wrong, you can fry. I also conseqentially risked doing the third most dangerous thing I've ever done. Incur the wraith of my mother. But thats not that uncommon. So now the story of WHY I dissassembled the TV...
Ever since I got home, I've been working hard around the house. Things need to be cleaned up and moved out, because my grandparents are moving in soon. We're getting the addition redone, and I'm loosing my back window. It peeves me a bit, but what can you do?
I've been going through alot of my old stuff. And I've been working as best as I can (though my mother is paniced. "They'll be here in a month, do you realize they'll be here in a month? We'll never get it done!"). So, my pack rat days are over. Boxes are going out, and the donate pile has been getting larger.
But anyway, my broken TV was downstairs. I wanted to make it into a goldfish bowl, but I never got around to it. This, combined with her pessamism about it, made me believe the same thing. However, the night came for it to be thrown out. Mom went upstairs and gave me the instruction to throw the stuff out in the addition. She didn't mention that all parts of the things had to go out.
So, I was out there, and decided to take it apart. Phase one was sucessful.
Now, the history behind this TV. This TV is an old Sylvannia. It was one of my mother's first TVs, and it was passed to me. It has two dials, and manual volume. It even has a wood finish. That was then given to me as my first TV. I had it since 1995. I remember messing with the anteni on it, and it being the best damn thing ever when I was in 5th grade. When I finally got domain over a VCR and Cable, I was a taping machine. I watched countless movies, shows, educational things and 911. The TV ment alot to me. And I've always wanted fish.
So, the next morning, a circuit board and a tube where sitting out on the front lawn. And guess who noticed? I think she went out there to look to make sure it all came out.
But now a frame of a TV is sitting in the addition. Its quite light. Phase one complete
