The part of Canada that doesn't get enuf Snow :(
When I was finishing up my degree in Physics, mid 70's, and working at P&R I had a very, long ongoing, serious decision to make between staying with Parks Dept or joining Air Force, R&D, then grad school, then some more service, then doctorate, and more service, all on govt bill. I so loved working for P&R, mostly outside (but moving up I still would have been outside a lot or at least in park setting when in "office."). I ended up choosing Air Force but car wreck and back/neck injuries/disablement put an abrupt end to either and before enlistment. They were "courting" me and the benefits were so enticing even though I was very against the Viet Nam "war." Back then there was no such thing as women combat pilots.

Hugs, Feisty Alice

Im guessing they Vietnamese would have just put up the white flag and rolled over if you would have shown up in a fighter :lol:

Probably not. They were a tough bunch of dedicated loyalist. And I wouldn't have done the missions required of pilots those days anyway. R&D was just the spot for me. As DH said, in regards to rouge T-Rex eating our house..... "If it knew Alice, is should be afraid!!!!"

BTW... I have issues killing anything viable, even for food and/or mercy, except for scorpions. But I ask for "forgiveness" when I smush them. Part of my Native American heritage probably.

I forgot to get Dcon from HD. T-rex has been quite until a little while ago. He's over at the end wall and it sounded like he was beating on the furniture. Half the dogs went bonkers and rushed to spot barking and digging under furniture; other half went storming out doggie door barking.

Never dull!!!!

Please try to restrain your disappointment.

jack its not the danger of a short or anything that we're talking about. its just that with the center post extended that far to make contact the connecter is weaker and there is a real danger that the slightest pressure or drop could snap your 510 connecter off inside the reo

Isn't that why God invented Rob?

Okay, okay, I just took the ERA off to check on what you guys are talking about. The center post sticks out less than twice the distance than when it on a grand, etc. The threaded connection screw in four, (4), full turns before the base of the ERA touches the top of the Mini catch cup. It certainly seems to be on there pretty solid. No wobbling at all and so far I haven't had as much as one drop of leakage.

You guys are just jealous because I've been nominated for a Nobel Prize.

We strongly discourage that behavior in house. I did have two different Mastiffs eat almost through doors. One was momma when door to puppies accidently shut between her and pups. Other was young male I "stored" upstairs for a bit while girl in season could have some family time in house without fear of mistake. The older, more experienced boys could exercise restraint but the youngsters couldn't be trusted at all off formal command.
