Did you find this picture on the 'net, or did you see it on something on your workbench?

A colleague sent it to me.

Nice.
This reminds me of the picture that I saw of a handheld device that, underneath the battery, had "404 Battery not found" printed in the silkscreen layer of the PCB. If the battery is installed, the printing is hidden, but if the battery cells are missing, then that label shows through the semi-transparent plastic case of the product. I can't believe that I cannot find the picture - I was certain that I had posted it to here, or ZappMan's forum. ???
And posting that reminded me of this morning (severe pain in my back woke me up at 1:00, it feels like I have a knife in my back) - at just past 4:00 I looked at my bedroom clock, and said to myself "4:04, time not found." :P

That's the one, you found it. I spent a couple hours searching your's, and ZappMan's, sites for that. Thanks.
It was the pain in my back that made me miss it - that's my story, and I'm sticking with it. My back is better tonight, but still very painful. Hopefully it gets better overnight, I've been on prescription pain killers (Lidocain) all day, and I'll be taking some prescription pills before bed tonight.

Ironically, my back has been extra sore lately. I was late for work this morning because I didn't get much sleep last night due to the back pain. About to try again...

I'm feeling much better this morning. I hope that you're feeling better soon, too.

Actually, I'm doing worse. Weekends are my only opportunity to get things done around the house. I had to assemble two wire rack shelves (https://www.bjs.com/product/berkley-jensen-5-tier-chrome-rack/3000000000005453265/) and a shoe bench / storage bench (https://a.co/d/1WFR8wA). I also helped the wife move her canning jars to these racks, as well as cases of water and soda and other things. My back is hurting pretty bad. I am
just now finally settling down after dinner.
P.S. - I am happy you're feeling better though. We can't all be down at the same time. That would just suck.

Heat helps mine, along with Lidocane patches.

Well, I didn't sleep well last night (due to my back), so this morning I stood in the shower for 10-15 minutes with the hot water spraying down my backside. Helped some. I am up and about now.
