Recently, my wife inadvertently got water in her Timex watch. Even though it is supposed to be water-resistant to 50 meters (~165 ft), which would be a pressure of over 65 psi, it got waterlogged with just a quick trip into the shower… Not sure how that works. This required me taking the back off of her watch and then replacing Timex watch back. I heard her [click to continue…]

That’s a picture and link to the scale I use on an everyday basis in my kitchen. I also use it on projects that require me to figure out or understand weights or masses. For example: [click to continue…]

After action report: All Quiet on the Northern Front (or so I thought…)
So here I am 24 hours post gopher killing “shot”. I came home from work early yesterday in the hopes of shooting one or two more holes. Every one I inspected was collapsed! That’s a mixed blessing.
