I thought about that long and hard, and at the end of that quarter went down to a pawn shop and traded my sliderule...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I've still got my sliderules. These could be useful in restarting civilization someday.

“””I’ve still got my sliderules. These could be useful in restarting civilization someday.”””

I’ll let you do the calculating. I’ll hammer it out.

At the time you could get all the free paint stirrers you wanted with the purchase of a gallon of paint, so other than a dust collecting curio, of which I step around many, I didn’t see much use for it.

The first couple of gallons of paint I opened with my hammer the wife was non too pleased with the paint transfer. Now I can just tap that baby and the lid flies off and lands on the benchtop paint side up. I’m that good.

A nanosecond after I clicked “post” on that post, we lost internet in the neighborhood. Don’t tell Q. It was me. I forget, they know everything already. Either Q has no humorous streak or the God of the internet and world relegated me to a corner as punishment right as the Q&A party started. Justice served.

Got no candy but was able to follow along on my 5” cellphone. Fat fingers, poor eyesight, and a weak mind made it best to lurk.

I think I will!

Happy Hunting!
