Awesome. I want a Geiger counter too.

There is an app that does actually work not as well as the real thing but ok,   I have it on my phone

I knew pretty much immediately what it was, first I held it to a regular light then turned it out to see if it was just glow in the dark paint, it didn't glow, then   I checked it with a UV flashlight in the van and it lit up brightly finally with the Geiger counter when I got home.  They put radium paint on lots of things before they began to appreciate the dangers of it like clock faces and hands, dials and markers for aircraft.  Radium paint is radioluminescent and glows all on it's own no need to shine a light on it to charge it up but over time the phosphors(the part that glows) wear  out and take more energy than the radium can supply to glow, they show under UV though.  I collect all things atomic
That's awesome.

  You don't need a Geiger counter.  You can't have everything that catches your fancy!  :police:

Then what's the point of being an adult?

  The point of being an adult is to serve God and one's fellow man.  :M :lol2:

  I found another pair of work pants in the dresser, thus enabling me to put off the laundry again.  :green:

Stopped at the grocery store and an artist was signing posters.  It was for a local root beer and is Mardi Gras themed.  I complimented him in his discipline (talent without discipline is worthless).  He personalized one for the PR and gave one to me also.

I did a quick fix when I saw it and was going to get some better bolts and fix it permanently when I got off the computer
