    I'm getting ready to visit a nearby B&M for the first time. Can you offer me some tips on simple benchmarks with which to judge the selection and/or pricing of a particular B&M? Por ejemplo, can you name a stick or two that I should look for and perhaps an average price? It obviously would...

    Ok, this is a multipart question. First I am about ready to give up on hygrometers. Doing the salt test gives varying results depending on the amount of time and the temp I test them at. For example at 70F they may read 3-4 % high, at 72F they read dead on, at 68F they read 9-10% high. Add to...
