Of course, I always recommend experimenting - get at least one
flasher disk and try it out with a 7.5W bulb - I don't know
what technology those disks use, but if they're current-driven,
you might have a flash rate of about one per hour. ;-)

Also, I know that you can get self-flashing red LEDs, but I
don't know if they make flashing green or yellow.

In my experience, self-flashing LEDs are rather dim for this job and
have good availability mainly in red. You might find one in a very
yellowish green or possibly an amber-yellow, probably dimmer than red or
orange-red ones that use the same LED chip chemistry.

I haven't been follow this thread but did anyone mention putting the self
flashing LED in series with the desired color? Then hide the red flasher.

Silicon Valley ain't Northern California, it's about two thirds of the way
up.
2/3 > 1/2, so S.F. is indeed in Northern California.

Some of the best bits of the state are further north.
Like Oregon? ;-)

Redding is Northern California,
Not to mention Yreka :)

So true!.....A beautifula area....Yreka and Redding....
I remember being in Redding one time when the temps hit 105!....We headed
for the Eureka fog on that trip....
Oregon too....Crater Lake is a particularly gorgeous area. And I also
enjoyed the Oregon caves....I guess that's why they call it the Great
Northwest....
Those of us that are lucky enough to live here have the best of all
worlds...
Have a good one Keith!....Ross

One thing I've noticed about the coast is that personalities seem to
change fairly linearly from south to north. In the south, people tend
to be materialistic, superficial, and glamorous; as you go north,
people get earthier, plainer, and nicer. The trend holds up pretty
well from San Diego to Juneau. I picked San Francisco as a nice
compromise between glitz and boredom.

That's a gross generalization, I try to be polite to most everyone ....
and how would you explain New Yorkers and their famous "minute"?

What I have noticed it the food gets more bland the further north
one travels.
 
Santa Cruz Mountains here....but that 50 inches of rain in the winter is a
bit much....
Your assessment is pretty accurate....by the time you get up here...tye dyes
and birkenstocks are still in fashion.!!...

A generalization it is...but not that far off....
I have lived in California for 50 years and it seems "in general" that when
people get fed up with the "big city" life they head north....many to Oregon
and Washington, much to those states chagrin.....
Beautiful areas but some of them don't get enough sun for me!.......have a
great one Lord Garth!......Ross

Yummm....pickled spotted owl...
There is a funny story about that creature in California...
They were trying to save an old growth forest and claimed it was "the only
habitat" of the spotted owl....Well they save the forest and sometime later,
a nest was found...Yup, in a Kmart sign....another in a scoop left behind
from a backhoe!....

Bulldinky! We have Cantonese, Mandarin, Hunan, Szechwan, Italian,
French, African, Spanish, Mexican, Vegan, American Comfort, Japanese,
Barbecue, Salvadorian, Hoffbrau, brewpub, crepejoints, Meat palaces,
many more. We have New Orleans and Thai food that will fry your sox
off. Our veal chops with creamed spinach is classic. We even have
English and Russian for the taste-impaired homesick tourist. We have
dynamite gourmet pizza, wonderful burgers, *really* good veggie food
and for my birthday tomorrow I'm going for high-end barbecue at
MacArthur Park. The food is not only better than most of the stuff in
LA, but it's typically about half the price. Unagi for lunch today,
$5.95.

49 square miles, over 4000 restaurants.

If you don't believe me, show up and I'll demonstrate.

John
 
Love that eel!!! Unagi is high on my list too!
Have to agree....Lot's of great restaraunts in SF....I was there a couple of
weeks ago to see 42nd street at the Golden Gate....We ate over at the Old
Original Joes...on Turk, I think??.....Awesome lunch! I could barely waddle
to the show!!
Had good food, good entertainment and even took in a crack bust....oh well,
can't get away from that in the cities!
Enjoy the sushi.....Ross

What???? No INnOUT Burger shops????

What primitives.

But it's only enforced for you out-of-state folks. With no sales tax, Oregon
has to innovate with the visitors.

Not in SF... we don't have a lot of franchises. But just south a
couple of miles, on Eastmore Avenue in Daly City we have an In-n-Out
right next to a Krispy Kreme. We call it Greasemore Avenue. My kid
loves it.

The best burger in town is at the Bull's Head in West Portal.

Wherever those are... I'm on the *RIGHT* coast. ;=)

Though I've traveled on the left-coast on business.

I remember being in Redding one time when the temps hit 105!....We headed
for the Eureka fog on that trip....
The highest temperature on record here is 102F, and there have
only been three days above 100F since records have been kept. A
summer with a dozen days above 90F is a *hot* one.

Oregon too....Crater Lake is a particularly gorgeous area. And I also
enjoyed the Oregon caves....I guess that's why they call it the Great
Northwest....
Well... I was really pointing a sharp finger into the Origonians
that just moved up from CA. After all, Oregon is just North-
California! ;~/.

Those of us that are lucky enough to live here have the best of all
worlds...
You may think so, but there is life outside that putrid side of
the country. ;-)

Have a good one Keith!....Ross
