And still on another note, when we had carpet in our house I was always
zapping our dog on her nose on those cold dry days, she'd kinda freak out.

I do that with my cat, except I don't need a carpet. Stroke her side a few
times, shock her nose and then she chomps on my finger. It's down to the
point now that it's a game we play and she keeps coming back for more. I end
up laughing my head off for about ten minutes.

Get one of those laser pointers, Dave. Cats go nuts chasing that
little red dot.
Lorne Elliott does a whole routine on stage with one...funny stuff.

I've already got two actually, but they're murder on the batteries @$5 each.
I only pull them out now when my best friend's kids come over.

I got an infrared thermometer with laser that uses 9V batteries... It's
been used to take temperatures of things maybe 10 times, as a cat toy
over 100.

Is that one of those thermometers that you point at something and it gives
you the temperature?

Got a make or model?

Yep. Here's a link to it:

Be sure to visit in the day time to buy, they often have daily specials
during "work" hours. This has been on the list a few times.

Everything he wrote makes perfect sense to me.

I pulled out my grounds, as they caused clogs. Guess what? I see no
difference, other than a lack of clogs. G

That was written several years ago by my friend Rod Cole, formerly of
the Badger Pond woodworking forum (now defunct). He is (or
was--haven't heard from him in a while) an engineer at MIT. I've long
considered this the definitive work on home shop DC systems and PVC
piping.
