Mylar Warmth
They have the look of something designed for the space program. They're mylar, a paper-thin shiny metallic sheet, that comes in handy when your car breaks down in winter, or when you're separated from your climbing group on the slopes of Mt. McKinley. Barring that, they're also a perfect material for a do-it-yourself cold-climate Halloween costume-near impossible to rip by hand, but cut easily with scissors. There's no padding, so they wouldn't be too comfy on your bed, but they sure are warm. They both come folded about the size of a wallet. The Blanket is 52" x 82", the Sleeping Bag is 34" x 84".

Bulletin Bars
Really now, who needs a whole bulletin board to post things all over, up and down, left and right... just willy-nilly? Posting notes in an organized row, even chronologically, makes more sense, especially if you're pressed for wall space. These nifty plastic bulletin 'bars' are just what the disorganized office, kitchen or dorm room needs. Strips of cork (approx 3/4" wide) are seated into 1-3/8" wide plastic bars of varying lengths. The bar is beveled (1/4 round fashion), stands away from the wall or fridge approx 1/2" and will mount easily with 1/2" magnetic tape or double-sided adhesive foam that you supply. Then get yourself a refrigerator, some memos, and suddenly you're going out with friends more often, you're calling mom once a week and all of your bills are getting paid on time.

Sleeping Pad
Campers put these pads under their sleeping bags to insulate themselves thermally and ergonomically from the hard cruel ground. They call them "Insulite" which sounds like a brand name and they are military grade. We don't know if the items we have are seconds from that company or somewhere else, but we can't tell the difference. They are at least 20" x 60" and are 3/8" thick dense foam rubber. We have light blue, dark blue khaki/green and mauve/purple, from which we shall pick your purchase. One side is glossy with more closed pores than the other. We have used them, and they are great! Feather light too at only 20 oz. Good as light duty tumbling or exercise mats as well.

Do Not (Fill In The Blank)
We know there's a message in this 12" dia safety sign with the classic slashed circle. It's red and white on reflective, adhesive-backed vinyl, and the graphics mean "Do not put out fire with liquids." Given its limited application, we're more excited about cutting out the white sections and putting the red circle/slash over a photo of our least favorite politician. But hey, if you're on the safety committee, knock your socks off. Just make sure the sign isn't hung upside down. Then it says "Do not let fire rain into your coffee."

Scope Your Stethos!!
Stethos is Greek for chest. Indeed you can scope your stethos with this stethoscope, or your friend's or your dog's. But it works equally well for picking up any sound being transmitted through a solid medium. Listen to the air flowing through the heating ducts, the water in the pipes, the sounds of machinery, the termites munching on the floor joists!! The color does vary so we will select from what's currently available. We've had blue, teal, red, black, burgandy, green and purple, but there may be other colors yet to be seen! A great discovery device whether for biology or other pursuits. Not of professional quality, but not just a toy.

Yellow Strapping
Only a mother could love some inventions. And Pat. Pat loves this one because the (2) 64" x 3/4" yellow woven-nylon straps, each with an additional 4" of elastic at one end and an old-fashioned garter buckle at each end, are great for all the usual strapping applications, plus a few more. They were designed to keep sheets from shifting. The hilarious 6-step instructions start with "Attach the head end of the bottom sheet to the foot end of the top sheet...." For a mere $1.75 you can read the rest!

Starfinder
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced stargazer, with or without a telescope, you'll get more out of the night sky with a Miller Planisphere. This 10" rotating double disc is a map of the planets, stars and constellations, useful across a large range of the northern latitudes, although most accurate in the range of 35° to 45° north. It can be aligned to the time and date in your location to display a detailed map, and includes tips on finding the planets, suggestions for telescope projects, and more. It's an invaluable learning tool that makes stargazing a lot more fun.

30 Bungees
Drummers, tighten up your flight cases. Hikers, tighten down your packs. Our each is a bag of (30) typical 5/16" dia stretch cords with metal hooks at the ends, (10) of each size: 12" red, 18" blue, and 24" green. Stretch your imagination, count all the stuff you tighten with a bungee cord, and you'll still have some left over. Good thing, the way you keep losing them.

Heat Filter
A little pricey for a 2" x 2" x 1/8" thick piece of clear glass, until you figure that this is pretty darned talented glass, and that it filters heat and reflects infrared and ultraviolet rays. Then it's a bargain!

Slide Show
Microscope glassware for examination of blood, pond water, mold, and other minutiae. All of the microscope slides are optically clear glass 26mm x 76mm (about 1" x 3"), between 1mm and 1.2mm thick. The well slides, of course, have a concave well to hold a drop of liquid. Our each is a package of (12) well slides, or a box of (72) standard slides with ground or beveled edges. Cover glasses are the smaller and very thin pieces of glass used as the top of the glass slide sandwich. They are often used temporarily by simply dropping them onto a drop of liquid to flatten and spread it and to minimize evaporation. More confident microscopists will cement them in place to permanently preserve a specimen. Our each is a package of (100) cover glasses 18 mm square, #1 thickness (0.13mm to 0.17mm). If you need one, you need both.
