I acquired and lost several Zippo lighters over the years... only one I cared about was from Vietnam but it went missing quickly after I returned.

Has anyone on UHH used JP4 when out of lighter fluid?



I never used JP4 but did use 115/145 avgas. Only problem was it evaporated too quickly, but in a pinch, it worked fine.

Can some of the Hoggers please give some idea's or experiences you have had with an adequate desk chair that is helpful for those that have lower back issues? All good recommendations will be appreciated.


I had tried many chairs when working in an office. The big ones with the high back were the worst. Virtually all chairs caused an increase in my back pain. I opted to use a regular secretaries chair after finding out it had an adjustable back support. That support could be raised or lowered. It immediately lessened any back pain and I used those chairs at every employer I had for years afterward.

Now, I use a similar chair at my home computer but have had to add a seat cushion to make it more comfortable to use. This chair has adjustable arm height which allows me to rest my elbows while typing.

IfI recall correctly the HP 35 @ $295 was the first pocket calculator that had trig functions, followed by the HP 45 @ $395. all the engineers in my company had to have one. Eventually TI made a much cheaper calculator that did trig functions.


I forget what I paid for the TI-35 PLUS, but I still have it and am trying to downsize. If anyone wants it, give a shout thru a Private msg.

My parents used Merthiolate which contained no mercury.


Found this site which shows Merthiolate does in fact contain mercury?

Don't concentrate on Photo, its just an an attention getter from a cemetery at Shiloh battlefield, or more specific, the battle of Pittsburg Landing. 160 years ago on April 6th and 7th over 23,000 casualties occurred over a 2 day period. A horrific lightning storm raged throughout the first night with the thunder and lightning only punctuated by the screams of the wounded and half dead as bands of roaming wild pigs feasted on the human flesh... Up to this date this was the bloodiest battle in US history. Visiting this site on these dates a couple years ago was a somber experience...

I totally agree. I never appreciated what horror the civil war was, until I entered the Connecticut state house in Hartford, CT and they had displays of each branch of each CT unit who were in the civil war. The main thing I remember was that they brought back a group of trees that had been devastated by the bullets, cannon shots and it was so dramatic seeing the absolute devastation on the landscape that it was easy to understand how cruel and miserable it must have been to be in that war. It made a very deep impression on me even tho I was out of the Army at that time, I never really understood what the devastation meant, but seeing those trees and the fantastic number of bullets having been embedded in the trees was so influential to me I really came to understood how horrible the war must have been.

Highway 101 to high 1 goes by the coast and is beautiful. Also be very careful with your camera gear in SF. The robbery of cameras is pretty high and the robbers usually have guns. I live in the the Bay Area, so I am not exaggerating. Here's the website www.onlyinyourstate.com

Have a safe and great time.


IMHO, The sooner you can get out of San Fran and go north the better off you'll be.

[quote=jerryc41]" Riding along the highway, I saw what seemed like a never-ending train with hundreds of tank cars parked. A few minutes later, I came across a freight train traveling south. I didn't bother to count the cars, but they seemed to go on forever."

Jerry, as a kid in the early 50s I frequently slept over at a buddies house. The trains would stop for a few hours next to his house most mornings. It was fascinating to hear the trains as they started up. Laying there, in bed, we could hear the click/click of the couplings slack being taken up as the train started. Our ears could hear the sound as it came closer and then passed his house and moved farther away in a train that must have had over a hundred cars.
Good memories.

Stream Locator is not an app for fishing or swimming. Rather, it's an extension for Chrome or other browsers that allow Chrome extensions. It lets you watch TV from other countries without paying a monthly fee. I just added it to Edge. I clicked on Disney+ in England, and I began watching a movie. That's all I know about this app. There are lots of videos on YouTube about it.

My nephew just gave me his take on Stream locator. While his response is long, it sure puts and end to my trying this site. BEWARE!!
What a waste.
It advertises itself as a “VPN-free” streaming service, but it has NO content itself. It really doesn’t locate squat, it depends on you having existing subscriptions to streaming providers like, Disney+, Netflix, HBO, Discovery, etc. Then it simply routes your traffic through the cloud ☁️ to get around regional blocks/restrictions.
Heck, I wasn’t impressed when the first thing they demand from you is an email address so they could “keep you updated” ie SPAM you. So, I gave them @zzholes a fake address so I could actually continue to use the plug-in (you can’t click on squat until you succumb to their ransom). Next, I looked at their short list (only about 8-12) of streaming services. There’s a few (45%) no-names in there, probably private overseas. Only the top three: DAZN, DiscoveryPlus, and Zattoo had drop-down menu’s for choosing a streaming location…Wow, what a long list of options…NOT!!! What CRAP, only two locations per drop-down. So I selected a location for each, clicked on DAZN, and had a new browser tab pop up. The new tab that opened said, “sorry the website couldn’t be found :(“. So I closed that tab and tried the second location for DAZN, but got the same results… Not impressed. Then I did the same with DiscoveryPlus, only to have that tab come up and the DiscoveryPlus website state, “Sorry this content is not available in your location”!!! Wow! I thought this streaminglocator was better and supposedly prevented this?!! Hmmm 🧐… Can you say absolute $H!T?! Of course I have a cursory look at the other options, but met with much of the same results. Plus, as expected, when you hit the big providers, they want you to sign-in & have a paid subscription. No, I didn’t enter any of my subscription details through this piece of crap, I don’t trust it; especially given what I’ve seen.
Additionally, upon digging, I see that this plugin is just bait 🪱! It is only there to entice the fools into getting potential sucked in, so they can sell you a $99 a year or more for a subscription to their streaming (noVPN) service and/or (this is the more $$$) for a piece of hardware (A custom/branded network WiFI router). First, I wouldn’t pay diddly for this crappy service. Secondly, you’d be stupid to buy a branded, little-known, custom router to your network!! You’re just begging for these scumbags to steal your data. Or worse trust their hardware/software to keep your data safe. In fact, I’d bet they’d have multiple security flaws and you’d be an easy target for the Chinese/Ruskies!
Heck if you’re that hard-up for borderless streaming( ie getting around country/region restrictions) on your device, it is MUCH more secure and cost-effective to simply run your own VPN. Heck, I’ve been using ExpressVPN for nearly two years now at home and on my mobile devices (where the connection bandwidth is lower, because it’s cellular) and I have NO slow-down and have confidence my traffic is secure. Plus I can be routed through nearly 100 or more locations worldwide, at my command/choice. I also run my own personal VPN (which is FREE), to secure comms between me and my ‘puter. The point is, for the same amount of money or less, you could get a big-name VPN (ExpressVPN, NordVPN, etc.) to secure you & eliminate region restrictions with little-no-slowdowns (I say little and I mean little, as in you as a user would NOT notice microsecond latency because of the encrypted tunnel).
In all stay away from these shams! Just use Pluto, Peacock, Roku, Crackle, CrunchyRoll(popular with the kids for anime), etc. there’s plenty of free or low-cost providers out there.

Thanks for bringing back a memory of a powerful singer. At the time, there was no one better.

I used to go to the Monterey Jazz festival and saw Janis there, in I believe, 1967. She made an appearance with Big Brother and the Holding Company but she was so powerful I don't remember anything about them. The place was just moving to her singing. I really enjoyed how powerfully she sang. I saw her on Saturday and I heard she also performed on Sunday. I had to drive myself and my girl, at the time, back to Manhattan Beach in So. CA.
She knocked the socks off of the audience.

I keep remembering the event as the Monterey Jazz festival but Wikipedia keeps referring to it as the Monterey pop festival?? Confusing to me as maybe my memory isn't the greatest anymore!
Anyway, everybody I spoke to, was talking about how she livened up the normal jazz offerings.
