Default New MLU Unit of Measure the Cat

Hi ALL

Well it is official we now have an MLU standard system of measurement, THE CAT, small items will hence forth be in units of paw, longer items will be in units of tail. Volume will be one very large cat or several small cats.

You can see where this is going, I'm sure Bob can give us several other cat related units of measure.

How many purrs per minute, sound units in levels of yowls.

Of course this will require a new system of numbers which is based on the number of whiskers of the common cat instead of a base 10 system.

Cheers Phil

Default battery box

I know somebody who makes repro WW2 radio battery boxes . Yes, I know ,
" go out more and get a life " might be a appropriate line of advice .

But, Me too have a few old wooden battery boxes .

The cat seems to have found a nice ohm
