Hi Ron:
We too like San Diego. We we in the Los Angeles area when we first arrived, then to Santa Barbara for twenty years and now San Diego. We are enjoying SD becasue there is so much to do here: Symphony, the Padres, Chargers, various venues for entertainment, the harbor, and of course you can't beat the weather. On Friday's my wife fixes breakfast, we take our chairs and go to the beach to eat. Been doing this for years.
The Del Mar race track has a hat contest every year on opening day. It's the place to be and great fun to go and see all the ladies dressed in their finery and hats. So, it's things like this that make SD so enjoyable
With respect to my question about driving two transistors from one counter output: is it OK to do this?
Richard
