In a horse area, drivers know how to respect you. On other roads, I'd want escort vehicles in front and back.

FedEx'ing a horse is interesting.

A horse in my herd flew here from Holland.

10 yrs old, chemistry set, what could possibly go wrong? lol.

I made a molotov cocktail once...once. Let's just say it worked better than expected throwing it against a concrete culvert in a ditch and the fire was difficult to manage. 10 yrs old, gasoline, matches, what could possibly go wrong?

Technology progressed considerably by the time the space shuttle came into service.

The HP41C flew on nine shuttle missions. It was used to perform calculations necessary on the missions. It also served as a backup for the main computer. I had an HP41CV at the time. The difference was that it had four ports that accepted chips, there were ones for math and engineering for example. You could also plug in a card reader for loading and saving programs. It was quite a sophisticated computer.

HP-41C - Wikipedia

It's interesting to note that the Apollo systems started being designed in 1961 and continued to 1965. So some of the technology of 1969 dated back a number of years. That's usually the case with all these type of systems.

...and despite the challenge of the Reverse Polish Notation format all the controls on the amp ended up still going logically left to right? :)

Saw you are in central MO. My wife and I grew up in Hayti and Caruthersville, lived in Sikeston for about 6 yrs, then the StL area for about 8 yrs. Giving some thought to moving back to MO but we've flipped flopped about a dozen times on moving.

Almost in the geographic center of the state. I reside in a valley about a mile and a half from the old Muddy MO.
No flood threat, just a little slice of heaven in the sticks. My closest neighbors are squirrels, deer, raccoons, possums, and on occasion, the random armadillo. :) I rarely see fox on my property, but they're around...
