Unggh.
Pretty sure I won't be getting into any fist fights today.. Or blowing up any balloons. Or sneaking onto a trampoline to jump up and down.
J.V.A. might pop in and read posts , so I won't detail .
:laughing7:

Don't want to go drive over any bumps , but will make a run for yogurt later. No ,I'm not a yogurt fan. Antibiotics reduce the good bacteria in the gut though.
I know , yesterday would have been a lot better time to consider that.

Ya need to get some acidophilus, I take it regularly for gut health. Now there's different strengths for different causes, and you might want to get a one for the Antibiotics.
My current strength is 11 Billion probiotics per capsule.
Now I started to count those little fellers back about 25 years ago, got up in the 100+ million and I sneezed.
We just have to believe them I guess, but still doing :icon_scratch: on how all those fit in there.🤣

Rum is good for medicinal purposes.
 

Went to the city and got my new glasses.
I can see blurry now-wait-stop-say what-yup the distance part is arf'd :BangHead:
Close up is great, can see dates on the coins real good.
Coming home I almost had to pass the signage on the posts to read them.
Unbelievable-maybe in the morning it will be different :dontknow:

You may have to get used to them. That’s what they always tell me, anyway.

Your eye's will adjust-don't worry if you strain the crap out of them-no problem-we like your business.
Lens are replaceable for 3 months no charge. ( they see if they work-guess work)
Same frame just did the lenses-for $550.00 they better get it right.

Osterberg’s E-tower was invented by Daniel Osterbergof California, patented in 1984 (US #4,451,359), and marketed as the Quick Gold Separator. The device causes black sand to fluidise and particles to hover. For ‘hovering’, the water velocity has to slackenupwards – impossible in a cylinder is of uniform diameter. Slackening is by the water escaping from the constricted space in the flow distributor. If a teetered bed E-tower then hovering is accompanied by hindered settling in the teetering fluidised bed, displacing lighter particles upward. The author suggests that Osterberg’s device is amultiple E-tower with many rising columns jetting upward,each decelerating once free of the flow distributor.Osterberg’s E-tower seems capable of achieving highpercentage fine gold recovery and merits testing.

Operation



Clean water is introduced into a 4-inch diameter column near its base, at 2 gallons/minute. Once inside, the water passes through a distributor in a sequence designed to create a non-turbulent up-flow:




  • through a perforated plate secured to a bottom ring; then
  • through a disc of felted, fibrous synthetic polymer; then
  • through a screen with openings so fine that upward flow issubstantially unaffected in its lateral uniformity; and finally
  • through a coarse screen.



Screened concentrate is spooned into the tower from above. The water rises with enough velocity to non-turbulently fluidise the concentrate yet without ejecting particles with the overflow of washwater.The upwelling water must decelerate for black sand to hover as a fluidised bed, the deceleration being due to the rising non-turbulent plumes of wash water have more width once free of the flow distributor, suggest the device is nota teetered bed settler as hindered settling seems minor. The patent suggests the fluidised bed be stirredgently at the start to encourage gold to fall to the bottom. The upper portion of the fluidised bed is deemed to be depleted of gold and is siphoned off as tailings. The dense gold particles remain behind and more concentrate is spooned into the top of the column. After processing many spoonfuls of material, the enriched gold concentrate is siphoned off from the device.
