That kid is now about 6' tall and has two kids of his own. The Lady...she really hasnt aged much. I see her every few years when she comes back to town to visit relatives..

I call that photo my "Appalacian poverty pic"

At that time..she was a heavy..heavy methamphetamine user. So the photo and title is pretty accurate. Shrug

She cleaned up about 30 yrs ago and now works in a big hospital in Nashville and is a surgical administration nurse.

I was desperately in love with her at the time. But..Ive never been into drugs of any sort...and shrug again.....time went on and we went in different directions. But..its still good to see her and we dont talk about the bad old days.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

I learned a similar trick from my Dad, who learned in his college days. Carefully remove the glass, "replace" with a small paper bag with a handful of flour in it, reinstall, tap the bag to get flour on the filament. Victim switches on light - "Foomp!" Prankster rolls on floor laughing.

You got gasoline filled bulbs "handy"? B-)

Grinding a hole in a bulb. That's got to be about as practical as bending a popiscle stick 90 degrees, leaving enough wood to hold the two halves together.

Nah...but Ive heard it can be done easily enough. Shrug

Folks just never know what they can dig up.

I used to use a triangle needle file on the evacuation tit of picture tubes, to slowly let the air in. Done just right, they would hiss for days to a week. I slipped one into a load on it's way to the landfill, behind the guy who was stacking them in the van. He walked on the ceiling to get away, and out of the van! So much for someone who claimed not to be afraid of anything. ;-)

Exploding picture tubes can be as interesting as a shotgun blast at close range. And as lethal in some cases.

I heard a lot of scary, scary stories about how bad CRT implosions were, but whenever I tried it ;-) it was a bit underwhelming.

Agfa is out of business, and Kodak has scaled back quite a bit, but litho film lives on. My current source is eBay Kodak image recorder film PRD from the printing industry. You can get barely out of date film for $50 a roll or so. Xpedex sells the developer and fixer for this film (my old Kodak print fixer turned the backing of the PRD film orange, but the Xpedex Color-Lok chemistry works fine).

The only problem with laser printers is they are not terribly accurate. Print the same two images, one mirrored, and place them face to face and observe with backlight. You will likely see a lot of mis-registration. If you are doing two-sided circuits, this can be a big problem.

"Now where did I put that flywheel? Here it is!"

I used to stick the neck of color CRTs in an old dry well and slam the center of the faceplate with a 20 pound ledge hammer. Most barely made a noise, other than a slight pop.

The thing most people don't understand is that the dangerous place to be is in front of the faceplate. When a CRT implodes, the force drives the electron gun into the faceplate. If the speed is high enough, it passes through the crumbling glass, and into whatever is in front of the faceplate. The electron guns have been found embedded in a wall 25 feet from a damaged TV.

Cool. My buddy was shooting his computer monitor with the lead pellets. Which just flattened. Then he shot it with an arrow. "Thunk!" - arrow sticking out of monitor.

We were renovating a house that had some flood damage and decided to reenact Elvis getting pissed off at his TV, although with a sledge not a gun. The TV was in the street, one of the real old ones with thick glass. Nothing shot out the front but we were not prepared for the force of the implosion!

Bright, yet -- but they didn't seem to last very long. :-) (And the one in question above went off about 10" in front of the face of one of the instructors expecting a dark room. :-)

Intersting -- and nasty. That sounds more like an anti-personnel use than a way to be elsewhere when the fire started.

You should still -- from the Whiz Wheel (Santec E6-B air navigation computer) and the platinum resistance temperature probes. If not, send me an e-mail after fixing my address as explained below in my .sig for a fresh one. (Especially since this is still cross-posted to two newsgroups -- O.K. That at least is now fixed to go to Rec.crafts.metalworking only. :-)

Enjoy, DoN.

That is what I was remembering. I don't need filmrescue to do the scanning -- I plan to do that myself anyway. :-)

A useful set of links (now mostly trimmed).

Time to get to bed so I can be up for the machine shop rescue guys tomorrow morning. :-) Getting close to the end of recovering things.

Thanks, DoN.

No one ever is, the first time. :)

Here is a nice old digital camera:

Ouch! I've known heavy meth users -- and did not like the situation at all.

That is good to hear. I have no idea what happened to the one which I knew (wrong gender for me to be interested in him anyway. :-) But it used to be a real pain to keep getting phone calls from him in the middle of the night because he figured that I was not "in on the plot against him". Meth == paranoia.

I like my mind to work the way it was designed to work.

O.K. It helps to have contact from time to time.

BTW I'm not yet sure -- but I may have lost some of your posts about the Ektachrome processing. I'll find out when I get deeper into the articles. For the moment, assume that I did not read any which I did not followup to. (I've been restricting most of them to just rec.crafts.metalworking, because I don't read the other newsgroup anyway.

Enjoy, DoN.

I've got a Canon Power Shot A2000 I like. It was $199.00 on sale. It has zoom capabilities, but I suggest using a tripod for better clarity if you use the zoom features. I purchase cheap batteries, and they don't last very long. One thing I don't like is that there is no viewfinder. All there is for viewing is that screen on the back. I'm considering upgrading to a camera with a viewfinder; maybe a range finder camera? btw, for taking photos of tools etc., you might not even need zoom capabilities unless you want to show maybe the sharpness of a drill bit etc.
