I have PT tomorrow and I'm actually looking forward to it! I'm eager to get back to some semblance of normality!

Damn, that sounded scary! I'm glad the main injury was your pride rather than something important.

I hope you get well soon

Yes, Blast
And learned my lesson.

Can't help with the book, but YouTube has how-to videos that have saved me thousands for a new washer and dryer. I repaired both of the old machines with parts costing a few dollars.

Thanks Brian
Actually I am not looking for a How-to-fix book. What I am looking for is some sort of "homeowner math assistant" type book, if that makes sense. As I said above, I once saw a book which had a section on math for home finance, math for home repairs, etc.

What triggered the need of such a book is a conflict between me and the engineering office about exact dimensions in some corners of the new house which I am planning to build. Land looked like a rectangle, and it is almost a rectangle, but in fact is 'slightly' a parallelogram. They got it wrong in some dimensions, and I wanted to do my own math to be sure about a few things.

I did two calculations and got 25.5 cm, and 24.8 cm , with an average of approximately ~ 25 cm ( ~10 inches). My son did different calculations and got 32.8 cm. So, I wanted to upgrade my bookshelf in the area of geometry and home-related math.

OK. I can see many eyebrows about the 'insignificance' of these numbers related to a HOUSE. LOL. They are not that big of a deal in themselves, but they are necessary for some other details.

Maybe this is what you want, good luck

Thanks Dave. That's a great little book.

I have ordered the bigger version of that book , called : DESK REF. This one is not meant to be carried in the pocket, but stays on the desk. It is a combination of two books: the Pocket REF, and the Handyman. Also, it is written in a bigger font, which is necessary for my retired eyes.

Now just if I can manage to get a Casio 85v calculator, life will be perfect. It was the calculator I used at work before retiring. Colleagues got newer models but I remained faithful to this old thing. I asked my boss if I could take with me after retiring and he said OK. However, it collapsed, and the electronic guy at work told me it could not be fixed. I love that model for so many reasons , and wish I can get one these days.

Just got an idea and a question

In this age of WOW technology, it seems everything is possible. So, here is my tech question: Do you know if there is a Casio calculator simulator. Maybe, just maybe, I can work again on a Casio FX-85v. Won't be the same (it weighed almost nothing, did linear regression in a heart beat, had great features like "constant arithmatic"..etc. ). Constant arithmatic is when you have a list of numbers and you need to subtract 2 from each one of them, or multiply each by 7 , or whatever. I needed to do that repeatedly and it was very fast and simple.

MS Excel will 'excel' in some of these tasks, but not all in such a small package.

So, is there an Android App that simulates Casio calculators ??
