Laser "Oh Shit Kit"- What is in yours?

[dnar]

When you said "Oh Shit Kit" I thought you were talking to kitatit!

The kit I am putting together has:

Plastic draws full of spare diodes, lens, mounts, PBS, M2, M3, M4, M5 fasteners, fuses,spare P3 drivers etc.
Gaffa Tape!
Bounce Mirrors (collecting now)
First Contact
Allen keys
Adjustable spanners
Screw drivers
Tourch and batteries!
Red Bull
LSO paper work (obtaining this week)
Risk Analysis
Manuals for P3 driver, ILDA board, CNI labbie, galvos, ILDA pinouts, labbie D9 pinouts

I don't need no stinkin soldering iron. It's not the MacGyver way to do things.

Ok, I might pack my iron as I am not handy with a tooth pick and hair pin.

Cheapest & smallest item(free)

some of those plastic 'shower caps' we see in most hotel rooms-
they make nice 'defeats' to place over smoke alarm sensors.

JUST remember to remove THEM!!

Buffo had super advice about these alarm sensors- call the alarm company and give them yr cell fone # and let them know you will be running=alarm tests all weekend and to call first if they have any Q about an alarm- might be good to also call the Local Fire Dept. with the same. Trying to get them to understand is NOT easy if you tell them about hazers and PJs.

It just needs a place for a starting pistol and hand-gun certification to be Air-Line safe...

I have an "Oh shit kit" I use when travelling to India and China.

Imodium, lots of it. Rehydration powder and half a roll of dunny paper.

Never rely on the toilets having paper, or for that matter somewhere to sit....

The past week I was lucky, with 5 days of squirts starting 1 day after flying home... Last year not so lucky, stuck in China with the screaming shits is not fun, oh if I had only taken a photo of the hotel room that night.... Leaping out of bed with crap spewing from my arse like volcano was priceless, crap all over the bed, the carpet, the wall, the bathroom door, the bathroom floor. What a fukin stinking sloppy shit-fight. I checked out the next day, "Sir there seem to be pwobwem with you room".... oh yeah?
