    The Zerostat 3 is a gun-shaped device set in moulded hard plastic that produces a combination of positive and then negative ions at the 'target'. The idea is too neutralise the area of static charge, the thing that attracts dust to the area. The intended prime target being your vinyl records

    May not be old, but I'll bet most kids of today would not have a clue of what it is or how it's used.......................................... they'd be still trying figure how to turn the grinder on using a "smart phone"

    I wanted one of those soooo badly. My cousin had one and he never let us use it, we just had cap pistols and he would "slaughter" us in our imaginary wars. Oh and how I remember that commercial Thanks Yoop!

    Working in the lab, we have one on hand. Powders like to stick to the plastic centrifuge tubes and to the aluminum scoopers. I use it weekly or at least monthly.

    Speaking of getting old, on hunting and fishing trips, whethter around the wood stove at deer camp, or outside at fishing trips, listening to my uncles and the guys from the Hound, Rod , and Gun club tell about stories of their life in the woods. Well, I as a young guy was smart enough to just sit back and listen and enjoy the richness of older men tell their stories while trying not to spill a beer on myself as a 17 year old.

    Speaking of old hunting tales, this is what our deer licenses used to look like in MI. I remember them well. They were discontinued some time in the 60's if I remember right. The metal tags were neat but I think they just got too expensive for them to buy. At the time of this license, we had to pay an unGodly amount of $5.00 for an archery license and then another $5.00 for a gun license. On top of that, we were allowed one deer per year...and that was buck only except for archery where we were allowed the one deer but it could be either buck or doe.

    Remember those back tags that Wisconsin used? Man, they were as large as a license plate!

    Right.

    It didn't bother me when they went away from metal tags but it still bothers me that nobody has to wear their license on their back anymore. Surely makes it difficult to turn in a trespasser.
