Yep!  It just kinda grew.  Started with the cpu timer then the dtmf decoder 
then 
some wires for digital pots and finally some for the SD card.  And, according 
to 
the wife, its kinda an indication of how I am-not sure what she means by that 
but probably not good - hi.

Need to sit down and document the pins being used.  Then implement the 
parameter 
file being read from the sd card - I was thinking of activating that process by 
holding the ID button down during a reset - comments.

Things are settling down here now so I should be able to get back on this.
