  1. If you take a minute to learn how a microwave works, you'll know what you can and what you cannot microwave. Aluminum foil or any metal should never be placed in a microwave, right?

     

    Ok now riddle me this. How come the inside of your microwave oven is made of metal?

     

    Ok, I guess this one comes to me. The inside of your microwave is made of metal because it reflects all that microwave energy into the food inside. The electromagnetic energy is produced by a magnetron that is tuned to oscillate at 2.45 GHz, the natural frequency of oscillation of the water molecule. You set up an environment with lots of bouncy energy, and the water inside of the stuff inside naturally bounces at the same rate, and by vibrating, heats up the stuff.

     

     

    That's why you can't heat anything in a microwave that doesn't have water in it. Also and as well, metal stuff inside can reflect that microwave energy in ways that don't work for the unit. This can cause sparks and flares and other cool stuff. Throw a CD inside for giggles and ships.

     

    I hope this answered your question, O Small Furry One. Feel free to ask again, I can make up all sorts of answers.

  2. If you need a handheld GPS, you won't go wrong with this one. It has an expandable memory, a very sensitive receiver (MIL grade), and the ability to load whatever map you want - topo, marine or city. On the other hand, the screen is small, and it doesn't float. But other than that, this is a steal. I paid triple this price for my 76 series, same engine.

  3. Hi, Riley. I like that you are going to tell us some fishing stories from your point of view. We all like your dad, but he talks a lot, if you know what I mean.

     

    I can't wait to hear about your fishing adventures. Welcome to the crew. Kudos to you once again, Mike.
