What does it mean when anglers talk about having a rod with a fast tip? I have some rods with whippy tips and some with a tip that does'nt move much at all (berkley lightning rod.) What are the advantages of a fast tip?
Many things faults can start it.My husband was mowing the back yard once the smoke from the mower started the smoke detector going.
Dust the outside of it, see if it works, if it does give it to your parents. VCR's do not have the many many very microstructures of a computer. If there is some dust on the inside, it should be fine. Also, since it wasn't on, it wouldn't have its fan going dragging dust into it. Even if it was on, it doesn't have a strong fan like a computer. I wouldn't bother cleaning the inside. Clean the outside, and if it works, it works! Brand new dust free VCR's can eat videos. Dusting the inside won't determine whether or not it is going to do that. That is one of the reasons people moved from VHS to DVD. Also, VHS just degrades over time, so they should watch em while they can.
Sorry to inform you but your 'friend' IS a BYB - she chucks two mares out with a stud, I bet that none were swabbed for cleanliness, they might or might not be in foal because she has not had them tested. They could be carrying twins but she doesn't know because they were not scanned. She has increased their food - there is no need to do that until the last trimester although it is a good idea to change to a formulated feed for breeding. As nothing has been done correctly this does make her a BYB even if the horses have won a few shows.
