He is ok too.
Mods have a PITA job and no way they can make everyone happy. As much as I might criticize the filter or other BF issues, I obviously do not want that job. It’s thankless.
Thanks, mods.

I had the same experience with my wife when she told me to go shopping so she could nap on Saturday. Came home with a carbon 105 equivalent new toy.

I have a pair of Sidi Genius Carbon shoes, probably from 2014, if I remember right. They're great! But the sole is starting to separate at the heel. I mentioned to Mrs.GJ my plan to epoxy the sole back onto the uppers at the heel, and she tried to convince me it was a bad idea, because what if it failed?
So, last week, I mentioned that I was looking for the latest version of the same shoes to buy and looking for a better deal than the $400 list (what I paid for the last ones in 2014), and she about got the vapors and started talking about "what we're going to live on when we retire." So I guess I'll make the Sidis hold together a few more thousand miles.
Also, "...when we retire." "We"? What is this "we" ****?

3M 5290 appears to be reflective tape. So I looked up "3M polyurethane adhesive" and the question that occurred to me was what do I do with the rest of it after using about 2 teaspoons?

Today I found two big rolls of 1" adhesive copper foil tape in a box of lab gear someone was tossing. Based on who tossed it, I assume it was used for RF isolation, but there have to be some great uses around the house.

Store it in the freezer for whenever you need a permanent, partially flexible, bond for all eternity. The other hint with that stuff is that it hardens in response to moisture and will not work well in a dry environment. Draping a damp rag over the work helps.

Put around the base of pots used to grow basil, to keep the gastropods out.
