I have been in stuck several times before, for weeks at a time, with no power and thus no washing machine. Few things are as yummy as going day by day after a hurricane or typhoon with the prospect of a shrinking stock of clean skivvies.

So, as I wrote once before, not too long ago I got a new TV and found some more storage space beneath it, with a false back to one of the shelves (viewtopic.php?f=205&t=5655).
So, this afternoon I decided to follow up on that little project and make a false back for behind the TV in my living room.…[Read more]

A great resource on military medical material is the Virtual Naval Hospital. As you can guess, it is a bit Navy slanted, but it does include a lot of material from different branches.

Good stuff, but two quick words of warning (sorry, I promise that I don’t always try and be dour):
You can have a systolic blood pressure of 60mmHg and still have a radial pulse. Yes, I too was taught the 60-70-90 carotid-femoral-radial rule, but research has shown that it is not true and my personal experience confirms it. The big thing is to…[Read more]
