On a side note, I love your show. I’m a huge fan.

Starrett is a decent brand for tape measures!

I work in a calibration lab and we see a fair amount of tape measures come in. It consists of us using a high accuracy machine to measure the incriments. I have a Harbor Freight tape that is super accurate somehow. Lol.

You can also use a combination of Gage blocks that measure 6" to make sure that when you push/pull the tape, that it measures the same. When you do the pull part, hang it from the blocks. The push parts require something to butt the block and tape end up against to make sure they are square (like another block or something straight).

I can usually find ASME and ISO standards by just googling the standard’s name and revision with PDF at the end. Usually works pretty well. Aerospace stuff is harder to find to be honest. I’d give the other suggestions a shot.

Be careful! I had a nest inside my basement last year. I too also had a nest in my yard that I hit. Got stung A LOT. Hope you feel better!

I mean, I downloaded Space Marines 2 over their WiFi while I was out of town for work. Lol. With a VPN of course.

Yes! You gotta be careful with these. Glad you made the right decision. My air tank has an expiration date on it for this reason. I don’t use it much, but I plan on pitching it so that I don’t die.

Here is my bed of music garlic, elephant garlic, and a couple of onions that I missed last year.

I don’t have pictures of them, but I have a bed with strawberries, another one with white strawberries, and one that I just filled with Cherokee Trail of Tear and Turkey Craw beans.
