"... with transmitters operating on 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 MHz" from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWV_(radio_station) I don't follow HF propagation but we are near a solar high so I'd try 10 MHz and higher.

I presume you meant WWv in Fort Collins. I used to whipsaw between Fort Collins and Boulder when I had a baby in each. https://www.nist.gov/pml/time-and-frequency-division/time-distribution/radio-station-wwv

When one of my babies went to school there I went to church at https://www.mcguckin.com/ Thirty years from now you'll laugh when you find yet another unopened box.

That sounds sensible. ⅓ 91 octane and ⅔ 85 octane. Everyday brand gas limits credit card sales to $75 so I’m already used to pumping in two transactions.

No,,, no turbo. Just the vanilla 6.2L V8 that came with the F-350. Perhaps there is no good reason for me to use 87 mid-grade but the owners manual was unambiguous.

I'm puzzled since you are from CO too. For the lowlanders out there, our gas pumps usually provide 85, 87, and 91 octane. I have the belief that low altitude 87 is the same as our 85 but it measures differently at 6,000 feet. To answer your question, the engine is a 6.2 liter V8 in a '17...

It would be nice if Costco gas included mid-grade. My truck's owners manual says not to use less than 87 octane even at high altitude. Mid-grade here at >6,000 feet above sea level is 87.

Is expanded metal the language you want? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_metal

If I understand correctly, it's durability is limited not by compression of the slats, but on tension within the upholstery.

I don't think the upper house will get warmer. I presume that the thermostat is up there.

For folks like me who never heard of "optical table". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_table

My 1992 house has ground-up sockets. (No, no grinder here.) It is annoying when using a lamp timer or kill-a-watt power meter because their displays are upside-down.
