back to work

i had a few days of working on the presentation i gave today to be distracted from my daily grind. the presentation went well, and i got some good feedback on the presentation itself and my work/ideas. now................it's back to work. i have the pleasure of figuring out why my oscilloscope is not detecting the signal from my measurements. and just to make things interesting, i have no idea why i am not getting a useful reading. just noise. but, i know things are working as they should because i can capture the measurements and graph them and see i am collecting correct data. i just hope i don't spend too much time trying to figure this one out. i have useful work to get done, but i cannot move forward until i solve this issue.

p.s. - hmmmm, this doesn't come as a surprise
