    good job, man. again, can't thank you enough...the reason I'm collecting things like this, is to send to my young nephew to try to figure-out/go through this process. The poor kid is being educated in Texas, so I'm trying to make sure that his creativity/curiousity/critical thinking is engendered. Not sure I trust them (TX) to do that for him.

    Either, if it wasn't such a drive, I'd offer to buy you a beer, right about now.

    we all know what happens when you lack those things (hint: starts with a "T", ends in "rump"...

    so what do you reckon is the reasoning for the quick disconnect? just for cleaning?

    Read the link......something about the pressure of the fall moves the material a certain way, telling the liquid content of it.

    You're missing all those extra tools in the item I pictured.

    I know Don Duck is on everyone's mind....but please no politics here ! ;);)

    We have Texans here ....& they seem to be good folk !

    & yes.....I'll take that beer anytime , thank you !!!!

    they are good folk...my brother, sisterinlaw and nephew are ones...was just trying to make the point that critical thinking is a skill that could benefit the world at large. sorry that my personal biases snuck through on that one...of course, you're right...(standing corrected)

    and
    naw, i read the article...and a couple others...three different measures all link up back to moisture content and its relationship to plasticity...but didn't cover the need for the disconnect, or why the test for these limits(atterberg) exist in the first place?...used in surveying/engineering to make sure that your house isn't going to slide down the hillside? or is purely used in soil/material science...?

    plus, i gots a pocket knife, and the basic message: you only let it fall so far (1cm) and after dividing it, you count the measured number of times that it takes to bridge the gap by a significant amount (1/2")...i just didn't see WHY i would be performing this test?
