One of the more interesting ones I got sucked into was researching fixatives and methods for less obnoxious sample fixation and storage (only ever used davidson, and alcohol).....all cause a buddy if mine texted me and asked where he could get Formaldehyde....at 11:15pm......
Turns out....Amazon....tho i guess im calling around tomorrow to see if i can get some locally he can play mad scientist.
That little side (show) project taken care of, ive been stuck on optics again, and ill eventually cycle over to looking at boyds stocks as i try to decide on colors for the new Xbolts stock.....or if ill restock......
But yeah i do often spend hours researching stuff before buying, building, and especially before trying something stupid.
