Everybody knows the story behind the attempt at humor. It prompted a long research project by Mrs. Graybeard into whether "those" is the proper word or whether it should be "are they menthols?" And a nearly half hour long attempt on my part to remove the apostrophe in "menthol's." It's not referring to something in the possessive. It's not the menthol's cigarettes.
In the World of the High Tech Redneck, the Graybeard is the old guy who earned his gray by making all the mistakes, and tries to keep the young 'uns from repeating them. Silicon Graybeard is my term for an old hardware engineer; a circuit designer. The focus of this blog is on doing things, from radio to home machine shops and making all kinds of things, along with comments from a retired radio engineer, that run from tech, science or space news to economics; from firearms to world events.
