    Hello everyone ! I found this site while searching for information on load cell DIY.
    I am into Racing and Flight Sims. I am also a GM Dealership technician. I can pretty much do it all in my outside shop from metal fabrication, welding, lathe/milling to fine electronics. I just love to build anything And help anyone with any projects. Now work is not what it used to be. Labor times have been cut, etc. So I really don't enjoy my day job anymore. If anyone here is a tech in their 40's and 50's I'm sure you will understand. I sure hope I introduced myself in the right area. If not I'm sorry
    Thanks
