If you get that feeling you are dangerously close to losing
conciousness and being fatally overcome.


Could be, my bud didn't think I was bad enough to go to the ER but who
knows, it was twenty years ago iirc... Took a couple of hours to feel
better in the fresh air that much I do remember. Never worked around a
salamander type heater again after that, no matter what the boss said.

What is a "salamander type heater"?


I remember them as a fairly tall cylindrical space heater, fired by
kerosene. I remember them because when my father built his retail store,
he used a couple of them to help cure the concrete floor, which was
poured in the winter. I was just a little kid, but I do remember them
being referred to as salamanders. They were operated before the showroom
glass was installed...the store was open to the elements where the
windows and doors would go.


They gave off a hell of a lot of heat.

My gyproc installing in-laws had a few... i remember one being left in
my new Cape Cod style house to help dry the drywall mud in January/
February of 1976.
The one I remember was more like a yellow torpedo..noisy fan blown hot
air and burning kerosine oil as fuel.
Of course that was 35 years ago.... they may be different now.

If you don't know, jackass... I'm not going to tell you.

Do you mean gypsum board by any chance? Or as a brand name, Sheetrock?- Hide quoted text -

I say what I mean and I mean what I say!
It's known as gyproc up here... and since we have the gypsum mines
that the stuff is made of...we'll call it what we want.

OK, dummy.

Damn, I missed that part where he's saying that they "have the gypsum
mines"...... like there's no other gypsum mines except in Canada!! What
a dumb ass!

New Mexico has the world famous White Sands, which are gypsum and are
much whiter than quartz sand which is generally has slight tinge to
it. Quartz is very hard and will pulverize colored iron minerals and
pick up the color from the dust. The quartz sandblasting sand around
these parts comes from a local underground mine and is blasted and
crushed. This leaves sharp edges, unlike water formed sand. And it is
white, or nearly so. This is the stuff you see in ashtrays.

There are cliffs with the gypsum exposed which supply the sands and it
being soft they don't abrade the regolith.
