We have them in southern Ontario too.

They are the only North American marsupial. It's funny that we call them a possum instead of opossum. They're not even closely related to the possums from Australia. At least that's what they taught us in vertebrate zoology when I was in college. They have changed their minds about a bunch of stuff since then
...:roflmao
If you’ve seen the movie “Over the Hedge”, you’ll understand why William Shatner is the ultimate opossum.
It's actually good that way. It's like garlic bread. I don't put syrup too.
The garlic infatuation started when I was a late teenager. My father had a heart episode and so we all changed our diet. One thing we read or were told was that garlic was a healthier alternative to using salt. Since then I have put garlic on darn near everything. I really love pickled garlic but I will also eat plain raw garlic cloves.
I knew a girl named Phyllis. Wonder if she is related? :shrug::angel:;)

Not all will get this…
But I think it’s the coolest idea..
Not just gear heads, anyone that would use a dial indicator would think, oh, that’s cool..
:tu
It’s pretty cool
It’s a clock made to look like a precision measuring instrument called a dial indicator. They are used to align machinery, true prices in lathes and mills and check for minute imperfections.

I think it’s a normal clock, but a bored machinist took a sharpie and some scrap aluminum and mocked it up to look like a mitutoyo DI gauge.
They are very pricey, precise gauges and making a clock look like one,, just a subtle, neat idea to turn heads in the shop is all..
It serves no practical use, just neat to look at, if you know the tools..
I had to take a second look but I got it. Its been a while. Guessing schooling was the last time I seen one.
I have a few, but rarely use them for more than checking lathe stock these days.
Great for truing things in the chucks when you reposition things on the lathe.
Or checking crank journals on a main shaft etc in the shop.
I guess the last time I used a Dial Indicator was on a Brake Lathe. Checking how true a Rotor was. But boy that was a long time ago.
I guess my Zappa reference was a bit too obscure.

Back steaks for dinner?
I guess if you have to explain it then you missed the mark...
I suppose the same could be said for my "What About Bob" reference in the 51 MG thread.
