I could make neither heads nor tails out of the info the BBx was giving me a little while ago, so I got my programmer on the blower. In the reprogramming he had done whilst the new hardware was being installed in the last few weeks, he had inserted an analysis of OI into his formula to arrive at the SPX figures. He had told me something along this line, but my mind was probably occupied with important things at the time ---- and it has totally made the BBx go beserk today ..... The info that I've been getting is superior to what it has been, the accuracy has improved, the early alert factor has improved, so I'm not about to have him move it back to where it was........ as if he would anyway......gggg So ----- I'm out of commission as far as figures are concerned for the remainder of the week. not that it's a bad deal, cause I don't know if my stuff does anything but create noise here anyway. I find it useful myself, but...... off topic ---- when handling "wolmanized" lumber (treated for outdoor usage) make sure and wear gloves.. and when sawing use eye and breathing protection also ..... I've used the stuff for multi years and have experienced NO adverse effects until today. Evidently the material I handled this morning has had the arsenic sulphate (think that's what is used) either increased in dosage or the lumber was "fresher" than what I've used in the past. I'm glad my doctor lives next door, is off on Thurs, and was out doing some yard work, or I might have been on my way to the hospital in an ambulance. After a quick eyewash and a shower ---- I felt ok....... oh yeah ----- he gave me a good a$$ chewing, too....... I had noticed the new bulletins posted at the lumber yard, but I was too smart to read them....... He said that I was not the first dummy this season.......gggg Dang sure convinced me, so I thought I'd tell ya'll. As I know you only use your index finger to do this type of work, Pat, ---- as in point it to direct the workers....... you won't benefit but maybe others besides John Luker might be helped........
