Isn't half inch hardware cloth the answer to every question?

That's what my daughters and sons-in-law all said about bears when we were in Rocky Mountain National Park and another time in Shenandoah National Park. With my damaged knees, I'm not very fast. Also, I'm fat enough that I'd probably be fairly tasty. 😵

Yeas, some spots in Arizona are pretty good. Best I've seen is in Utah, though we had some pretty nice views behind the mountain from Sedona.

Sadly, true. To get really big and bright, you've go to go into Big Bend or maybe a few places in deep east Texas.

"The stars at night, _____"

Hopefully you weren't shopping at the state Prison in Huntsville. Isn't Huntsville (TX) most famous for the giant statue of Sam Houston? Of course, there are also the Sam Houston State University Bearcats. My daughter graduated from SHSU even though we lived in the Austin area at the time.

It's on I-45, about halfway between Conroe and Madisonville. You can stop at the Buccee's (in Madisonville) to get gas and souvenirs on your way from Dallas to Houston.

Huntsville, ALABAMA. Sadly, not Texas

I lived near Houston for a while. We went to the space center a few times. I couldn't believe how BIG the Saturn Five booster is/was. Also, I couldn't believe just how small the original Mission Control room was, either. They were running the shuttle missions out of a different room by the...

I use the foot conversion for liquids since 1 oz ≈ 30 ml. That way I'll always know what I have left! :D

Only the space program annoys you? I can think of a few hundred other reasons that saw might come in handy...

It's 30 centimeters. We dinosaurs have to do mental math, like a meter is 3 feet, 3 inches. A kilometer is 0.6 miles. For precise conversions, use 1-inch = 25.4 mm. The hard ones are 1/8" ≈ 3 mm, 1/4" ≈ 6 mm, 1/2" ≈ 13 mm. I just have to memorize those. You can use multiples of 1/32" ≈ 0.8...

I have pieces of three different sets. The more musical they are, the thinner and more likely to break... good luck.

The pace of this thread is killing me! I go out to do some chicken-related work and come back 20+ pages behind.

But you don't "reside in Tennessee?"

I think, I've been told anyway, that it is all three! I haven't seen it myself, either. Didn't have HBO.

Am I the only one that remembers Scooby Snacks? They always seemed to make it all better!

Does VELVEETA count as American cheese? It's impossible to make good queso without its creamy deliciousness. :pop

No, I didn't ever work with punched tape. I did a little punched card, but not much. Nibble Notcher was a square punch that cut a read/write hole on a 5.25" floppy so you could flip the diskette and use both sides on a single head drive.

But are they 8-inch floppies, 5.25 inch floppies, single-sided single density, double-sided, double density, 3.5" standard or high-density. We had a "Displaywriter" with an 8-inch disk when I worked for Uncle Sam. Along with all the other obsolete technology, did anyone else ever use a "Nibble...
