Your latest acquisition

Extended Measuring Unit (EMU) = 20 Standard Measuring Unit (SMU). I would have shown my measurement of the EMU in SMU to prove it but there are only 11 SMU left in the EMU.

I blame pepperberry farm for establishing the SMU

could base be modified to accept either the dowel or the skewer, so those who want the " material " for ice cream addition could have it and those who don't could use the skewer??

What if we measure in Base 2?

"All your Base are belong to us"

Soap is a weak base. Wash hands before measuring.

soap + SMU residue from hole + ice cream

not my cup of tea

YMMV

It's the sugar rush from the worldwide surge in SMU consumption.

625 and 675 Wein Cell batteries from Micro-Tools on eBay

I'm waiting for the Keebler brand of Samoas SMUs to be on sale at Stop & Shop
when that money isn't already earmarked for more camera "necessities"...

Very pretty hardly used black Nikon FE body

I was surprised eBay seller in Japan accepted my offer.
FWIW I paid $124 + 26 shipping for it.

The parts you can't see in photo are just as clean and shiny.
Even includes molded translucent plastic bottom cover protector.

Now if only I could find a Pentax K2DMD or black KM body this clean...

Looks like a killer score Chris.

I used Nikons for almost 20 years before starting with Pentax. FWIW among Nikon bodies I owned were
FM, FM2N and FE2 models. I bought my brother a Nikon FE after his old Petri 35mm SLR gave up the ghost.

The later "2" models have marginally better features but IMO the FM and FE have a noticeably smoother,
more precise quality "feel" in use. Not unexpectedly the spare parts supply is worse for the older models.
