    Thanks guys for the heads up. I only use this yard because it is close by. I might try to pick up a couple Spanish words here or there to help me out. I hate to have to do that. Regarding the transformer, it was out of microwave small but it’s something. Some you might know that I really only do this for beer money so it’s not a big deal to break stuff down. In addition, I don’t have to put it back together and its great therapy getting your anger out.(Stress Management) LOL

    O ya, to get the transformer open I used a 3 pound hammer and a wood spliting wedge. I am not sure if that's the correct way, but it works.

    Google Translate has been helpful to me.

    i hope those translators work better than they used to! I'd use them sometimes to try and decipher what someone in the ukraine or tiawan or somewhere had said, or try to figure out what their translator had meant by some remark i couldn't figure out, feeling certain they were in the same boat, but just on the other side of it. Then i tried putting my own message through the same translator to their language, and taking the result, and translating it back again. You'd be totally shocked at some of the end results

    It's fairly effective. Sometimes I'll get things back that don't seem right, or it doesn't translate all of it.

    if nothing else, at least it can get you in the ballpark. I recently translated a Japanese friends comment, and although it was worded rather backwards, it was still easy enough to get the drift of the message. Those voice to text programs have came a long ways too
