Back in the land before time, and more specifically, before solar collectors, I was going to Washington State University, and dating a girl from eastern Washington who lived fairly nearby. We had a huge snow at the time of semester break, in January 1968. There was no way I could get home to western Washington, so she invited me to stay with her family over break. Excellent! The possibilities just boggled the mind! They were wheat farmers, and very nice folks. The next morning, Dad casually mentioned at breakfast that a bunch of his friends were going to town to shovel snow off senior citizens roofs, did I want to join them? I was a fairly bright lad, so knew the proper answer instinctively- Sure! So off we went. Kind of a fun day- guys up on roofs, working but joshing each other as well -"So, you're staying at Ginny's? I hope they're watching the halls so there's no teepee creeping"- [uproarious laughter]. The geezers tried to one-up each other with the treats- I never had so much good stuff in my life. Went back to their house that evening, and overheard her dad say to her mom, "That kid sure knows how to handle a shovel." As basic as that might be, it may have been the compliment I was proudest of.
No, the relationship never went any further (and nothing "fun" happened that week)- but it was still a great experience. She is a class person- married a guy who became disabled at a young age, she stuck with him and raised their family. Good for you, Ginny.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
