just got home, soaking wet...a typical florida summer storm came blowing in and almost flooded our yaks...came home soaking wet and freezing but we had a great time...my grandson is on the same page as I with his inheritance so all is good...he'll get a monthly allowance and have the opportunity to buy a home when I'm gone...his understanding about me and his mother puts a smile on my face...she hasn't turned him into a woke twinkie yet...
 
I understand my vacuum tube Stereo stuff will be fine, even from EMP.
Nope. This is your local Eleckrikal Engineer update: Vacuum tubes will fail, too. But with an EMP, you wouldn't have any cramps and jolts coming in to use to demo that your vacuum tubes all melted inside anyway.

The Carrington Event melted the wires on telegraph poles. Burned out coils on telegraphs. Vacuum tubes would be like sushi to an EMP.
 
I remember back in the day of the RR's, I'd cook bacon and eggs in a brown paper bag. We always kept a fire going all night, and I made sure to have a big flat rock dead center of the fire. In the morning, I'd put some half strips of bacon in the bag, crack an egg or two, roll up the top, and set it on the rock. Didn't take too long for the other guys to pick up on how to do it.
Now, if it's the least bit windy, and one stinking flame curls up and hits the bag, ya get no breakfast 'cause the thing would instantly burst into flames.

Why a paper bag and not aluminum foil Or just cook it on the rock? Seems that greasy paper would catch a flame pretty easy.
