Its cold in Dallas, too cold to go outside and play with the dog.
I'm killing time here on the computer.
I'm not interested in saving 89 cents worth of rubber bands and it is too
late to save 11 year old o rings that have been in an un sealed selection
tray for 10 years.
The upside is that the air quality is so lousy in Dallas that there is
very little danger of damage to the O rings from surplus oxygen.
