What's that burning smell?

Alright, so my P-Channel mosfet circuit from the other night worked better on the breadboard than it did connected to the PIC (the microcontroller).  Excessive current flowed into the microcontroller from the BJT transistor and kind of heated things up until you could smell it. 

If you don't burn something up every now and then you're not trying hard enough (or your impatient).  I'll build this load switch circuit up tomorrow.  Hopefully it will work and I'll get time to test things while there's sun!
