  1. I looked it up. More details than expected. https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/equipping-apollo-for-color-television tldr - concerns over bandwidth made them choose black and white since they knew it would work. It would have been very bad to get there and then not see anything because they chose color. They then found they had enough bandwidth for color in future
  2. Saw the launch and the moonwalk. Dad worked for Von Braun but his job wasn't essential to the launch. He grew up in Daytona and had family near the cape so we went there for the launch. I was 12 and spent the night inthe backyard in a tent and could see the launch pad across the river all night long. Cool to have been there. And everyone saw the moonwalk in black and white since a color camera was too heavy
  3. I believe a lot of the script is very detailed in order to make it more difficult for counterfeiters to make their crap look the same as original
  4. Try Sierra Trading Post - website is jot or miss but I have found serengetti's for under 50 bucks and just picked up bike gear (shorts and jacket together for about 50) If you see something grab it - it may not be there 30 minutes later
  5. I made the mistake of no glasses once at Muleshoe. Left em in the car and in the first mile smacked the eyeball with a branch. Never left em again
  6. Know that feeling. In mid 90's played Robert Trent Jones course in Hoover, Al and hated it because of blind approach shots. If I am paying a fair amount to play I want to see where I have to hit it.
  7. that was as bad a the team that lined up with everyone to the side of the center and still snapped it with defense having 2 or 3 players that could not be blocked
  8. Mine wasn't really stupid just necessity - I didn't have jack stands with me at college and textbooks worked really well. We ought to have a thread on stupid things we have done on cars.
  9. Yep a seesaw with the car would suck...
  10. I remember changing a broke leaf spring on my MGA in college using old textbooks as a jack stand
  11. Obviously they changed with the times - used to be the champagne of bottled beers
  12. I'm too old - have no clue who this is. Probably a good idea to not know
  13. The new rules are just goofy - like they were thought up on "bring your kid to work" day. Guessing that adding a few windmills on greens is next
  14. Not going to argue the enterprise portion but looking back at history - Nixon's White House gives it a run for the money (no pun intended) Mitchell - Attorney general - jail Erlichman - chief counsel - jail Haldeman - chief of staff - jail Kleindeinst - Deputy Attorney General - jail (very little time) McGruder - head of Committee to Re Elect President (CREEP - a great name) - jail Kahlmback, Colson, Stans - all part of White House - jail Nixon - unindicted co conspirator
  15. Undo the hot supply from the faucet and then open the shutoff valve with it aimed in a bucket to see if the temperature problem is before or after the faucet.
  16. Try switching the supply lines and see if you get the reverse result. That probably means the mixer valve is messed up.
  17. The scary part is what may have happened to the guy if he didn't record it.
  18. A couple of wild card thoughts. Turn off supply to hot water heater and see what happens. That will eliminate weird piping and weird faucet having problems. Assuming the cold side of faucet is fine - otherwise your pipes are reversed
  19. and if you aren't careful - you finally get a piece of the plastic cut open and pull. The rest of the plastic cuts you like a razor
  20. Everyone on this forum would contribute towards that goal
  21. In addition to all the better know movies - let me suggest City Heat with Clint and Madeline Kahn. Unfortunately that was where his jaw got injured (think it was a punch that was supposed to miss) and put him out for a year or so
  22. I know I need a 5G router for dual and have one. Have to check and see if I can disable 2.4 side - thta may be what is happening
  23. About 5 in 20% band at 5am. Dual band upgraded card is a little better but right now I'm back to 58mbps
  24. Must be some cockroach...
  25. I am the only one using wireless on my router. Will see what happens with a dual band card this week
