Not a battery in sight here for measuring devices. One thing I seem to think I was told was to gently close the jaws of a caliper when putting it away, but to always leave a mic opened just a little. Anybody else heard it this way?
Like Joe and Chubby say- don't over twist.

I was a young kid when my mom signed me and my two brothers up for dance lessons. Imagine a large ballroom under the old movie theater with chairs lined up on both sides. One side boys and the other side girls. We were taught all the traditional ballroom dances. At the last lesson the instructor introduced a new dance craze. It was the twist.  After that all the other crazy dances came along and nobody did ballroom style any longer in my generation.

Jack, watch the first video to get the basics down. Go slow. Then advance to the second video. It's good for your back.

In middle school I had to choose square dancing or choir.

I have to do it in a locked room.  There is this restraining order that prevents me from any dancing in public.  Don't ask for details.

Agree with cellargun. When it’s important to be accurate and know for sure, the mic is the one to use.

And you thought you had everything. 

That dial, is it day glo? Handy for measuring stuff in the dark...
