my kid just came in and said he was bored and tried to kick me off the laptop

I almost did it, but the catch was I couldn't use the other computer becuase he was "training" for one of online games

I told him he better get used to being bored

They use "gray tape" on the space station... I've no idea what it actually is though. Probably the same thing. I would hope they actually repair stuff with good hardware instead of using it on the shuttle (mostly because it takes forever to turn around one of those birds), but I doubt it.

That little aquarium tour I just did was pretty cool. They have a large tank in the dining room (43000 gallons), a really tall cyclindrical tank (35 ft tall and ~7 ft diameter), and a couple of show tanks, including a 1300 gallon reef tank that my frags were donated to (payment for the tour). Kind of neat to see all the works. They have 4 10hp pumps that run the 43k gallon tank, and a number of huge "biological filters", which are basically just big vats filled with bioballs. I asked the guy about them, and he was ashamed to admit they were outdated and he'd like to remove them... problem was convincing the boss. Real nice guy though, gave us about a 40 minute tour, and we got to pet the stingrays.

Kewl Beans Chris, sounds like great tanks, and petting the rays are always fun, we did that at Monterey, some years back

Tape probably is the same stuff. Once it is on, you have to cut it to get it off. Nice thing is it leaves no adhesive behind.

Sounds like you had a good time!
