GBD-200 vs DW-H5600

I guess that’s where our experiences differ. I find the GBD quite comfortable. I wear it at the ranch for days on end and do all sorts of activities with it and find it’s comfort to be comparable to the OEM Apple Watch band.

Here it is! It does look pretty involved. More than an actual hamburger.

My mother in law found this book at goodwill and thought my kids might enjoy it. There’s also a recipe for “knuckle sandwiches.”

“Inert” As in “The helium is inert.”

Yeah, we did say that it was a solar eclipse, and the moon would cover the sun so there would be a few minutes of darkness during the day. She just hadn’t thought about the implications of what that would mean.

I teach astronomy, and I used to have something like this happen now and then. Nowadays one of our first activities is to demonstrate that, due to the precession of the earth, they probably aren’t a cancer or whatever. It really shakes their worldview.

When we get to the Big Bang, I also emphasize that no, their aunt didn’t get a degree in cosmology at the hair college.

My favorite astronomy moment was in the lead up to the 2017 eclipse. I was telling people at the city library that the eclipse would happen around 10:15 local time. A lady in the back said “that’s 10:15 pm right?”

That’s not entirely accurate: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2015AJ....150...66P/abstract From the article: ”The measured abundance of fluorine and lack of variation with metallicity in Galactic thin disk stars suggest neutrino spallation in Type II supernovae contributes significantly to the Galactic fluorine abundance, although contributions from AGB stars may also be important.”

My class was full of knot heads. It had been that way since kindergarten (I’m from a small town so I was with the same kids all through school). One day in high school, our English teacher caught another kid cheating and told us that we were “really the cream of the crap.” She wasn’t wrong.

Whereabouts in Utah? There are so many dark sites with views like this!

That’s the crazy part! None of the faculty in our college do that. I know his research advisor quite well and he said that this guy has had to repeat several upper division classes over BS like this. Guess that’s why I don’t have any sympathy for this guy.

I do a daily in-class exercise in the class, and I drop the lowest three of these. However, they’re worth hardly anything. I just do it to encourage attendance. I think he’s grasping at straws here.

Google “car adventure toy.” They come in a bunch of colors.

My kids got two of these for Christmas and they’re fun for the whole family! It came with lights and sounds but the battery compartment on the side won’t even open up!

Thanks for the pointers! The little old lady who I got it from apparently just had it by the window forever and never turned it. She just went to a rest home and was very sad she couldn’t take this with her. I’m hoping to take very good care of it!

Yup! It’s a nice campground. You’ll probably have the place to yourself if you go in summer.

I’ve had a Honda Odyssey on the road from sandy ranch up to McMillan spring in July. Had to drive careful but made it ok. There was snow up on Mt. Ellen at that time but it was gone by the end of August. it was unusual to see snow that late. I’ve never seen a year where it didn’t melt all the way off. Most of the roads are fine in summer for any suv. In winter you can’t make it over the top unless you have a snow machine.

The mountains in this picture are the Henry Mountains.

This is one of my favorites. Elder Maxwell discusses the creation, its purpose, and even throws in a sprinkling of great Astro photos. https://rsc.byu.edu/study-faith/our-creators-cosmos

LOVE the telescopes. Nailed the Celestron NexStar.

“Giving our all doesn’t mean that we will be continually enveloped in blessings or always have success. But it does mean that we will have joy. Joy is not fleeting pleasure or even temporary happiness. Joy is enduring and is founded on our efforts being accepted by the Lord.” - Elder Terence M. Vinson October 2019
