    I love stories about clever people

    This came from a microbiologist down the street:
    When she was in college in Colorado, students there wanted to brew Coors-like beer. So they wrote a letter to Coors requesting a sample of their...

    I found a gun store in Arlington va. The guy says that the danger is pretty minimal (which I knew) and that he has some sort of cable lock I can put on it. He’s not comfortable working on a gun that...

    Yeach, my bad. Mistaking caliber for gauge tells you hat I’m not really a gun guy.

    I called the local police department and they couldn’t tell me anything.

    I just read that Virginia requires safe storage. I have my dads 22ga rifle that he had when he was a kid. I don’t know exactly when he got it but it’s pretty old. He was born in 1908.

    BIll,
    I don’t see support anywhere on either the Darex or Drilldoctor web sites. Could you be thinking of split points?

    Someone wrote that if you are the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room. That’s why I like the Creek so much. I’m at the left end of the bell curve.

    It must be sunspots or something. The electronics in my jet air filter died just last week. I never carried the remote but kept it velcroed to the machine so it was a no-brainer to replace the...

  19. What units of measure are in the theory of relativity?

    If my time with this forum has taught me anything, it’s that knowledge is both wide and deep.

    We all know the deceptively simple equation. But it seems incomplete to me. C is the speed of light...

    My PC 333 died and I got a festool 125. A lot less vibration and I really like the instant stop. I do wish they offered a more aggressive version in 5”. It would be nice to switch back and forth.

    HA!
    I wired up a 3-way switch for the blower and a mechanical 6 hour timer. I just need to get someone to help me hoist it up to the ceiling. It’s not that heavy but it’s really awkward.

    I can see the blower fan start but it’s like a relay won’t latch.
