BTW I've always have had difficulty speaking the word "ornery".
I pronounce it "ahn-ree"
instead of "oar-ner-ree".
Don't know why but there you have it. 😲
Kind of the same for the word "mirror".
With both words I sound like Slim Pickens with a case of Tourette’s Syndrome.🫣

It's a funny old world.
'member that "Famous Name" tuner kit I was grousing about?
Looks like I stumbled across one on eBAY tonight.
PACO seems plausible. Apparently they were a division of Precision Apparatus, which did, at one time, make some pretty good test equipment. My father had a Precision oscilloscope in his shop.

MUD SEASON!
In Georgia, It's "RED MUD SEASON"; the dirt roads are red clay.
When the red clay turns to red mud after a big rain, an old saying describes it perfectly as slicker than owl ****.
In my early years (16 YO), I had real life "red mud driving" experiences similar to the one from a blog below. One was in my uncle's old 1953 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup just driving for fun on a dirt road with my cousin. Another was on a high school date driving my father's new 1963 Chevy (left my 57 Chevy at home) to the girl's house about a half-mile off the main road. Both of these resulted being in a ditch as in the picture from the blog below. In the 63 Chevy the ditch was much worse, I was slung off the road into an embankment which required towing help from the girl's father. A damaged right front fender was also the result.
Went to town today to run some errands and it had been raining all night. On the way back I thought it would be fun to play in the mud a bit. I was driving kinda slow and then the red clay slung me into the ditch! :censor: I was pissed and even more scared. I was stuck in mud deeper than a foot. I put the truck in 4x4 and it took me awhile to get out. Needless, to say my expedition cost me a lost front hubcap and a tiny crack in my front mudflap. Georgia red clay does not play!!"Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"

What's slicker than wet red clay or wet owl **** is this:
Fellows at MIT have attempted to quantify the infinitesimally small levels of friction by those objects
but still doesn't explain the absolute absence of friction.
