super-dense quad pack and solder on a new one. Same goes for some of my
clients, mostly the start-ups. So, are there any service providers that
can do these jobs on a prototype board or two? The usual fabs often
don't like such small jobs although some would reluctantly do it for a
good customer.
Sacramento would be great, or Bay Area if it has to be. There's always
Fedex, so in a pinch even father locations could work.
Terrible weather here, overcast skies, temperature barely touching
70°F, and it may rain ;-)
trees, one of them split a house in half. A neighbor was retrieving her
trash can before it became airborne and a big apple tree crashed down
right behind her.
This is how it looks like around here:

San Francisco looks like a war zone, a couple thousand trees down,
flooding, a fair amount of property damage, kind of a junior Katrina.
Lots of power failures, especially down the peninsula.
Similar here. The force was quite amazing. We have a fairly heavy wooden
bench near the pool. Tied everything down except for that one because it
would never move. Wrong! It lifted off almost vertically and then
crashed into a flower bed.
Haven't seen any major damage around our house but couldn't check the
roof, too windy. Luckily we had replaced it with steel, else we wouldn't
have a roof now. Oh well, since the insurance has a $5k deductible we'll
have to fix whatever broke by ourselves. That bench might mutate into
firewood soon.
Winds yesterday spiked at 70 mph. It blew down a fence in our back
yard and sucked a skylight off the roof. I went up there, found it
nearby, and nailed it back down; only one layer of glass was crazed,
so it's still watertight. Damn near blew me off the roof, and the
raindrops were like ice bullets.
Don't do that, I know a guy who did slide off a roof and (by a miracle)
lived to tell about it. This neighbor with the uprooted tree also had
the whole east side fence blown over. A few years ago it was restored
but they "re-used" the old posts. That's what broke it.
We have a break, but more weather is coming. The ground here saturates
fast, so mudslides and floods are likely.
And some more trees to come down because now their roots are located in
mushy soil that doesn't hold anything.

That looks like a picture-perfect paradise compared to here ;-)
We have a good assembly/rework house we use on the peninsula; I'll
look up the name on Monday. Sometimes we do work for *them*.
Yes, please do, I'd appreciate that (others probably, too).
These guys do good assembly, despite the ghastly web site,

but I don't think they do rework.
