I’m back. Very little pain involved despite having two implants done. But now I’m on a soft diet for the next couple months. After he did the first implant, I begged him to do the second one just to get it over with. Ah, well. Beggers can’t be chewsers…
Sean Bell adds: " I think [monitoring solar flares] is normally done with visual solar flare telescopes, and satellites positioned above the Van Allen Belts (having I don’t know what type of instruments). * For Burt to be able to use a hand held meter, I’m guessing the flare would approach the size of The Carrington Event – ‘…the most intense geomagnetic storm in recorded history, peaking on 1–2 September 1859 during solar cycle 10.’ (look up Carrington Event on Wikipedia)"
Ketchikan, Alaska, where I lived for many years, was too far south to see northern lights most of the time. There was one time when the lights were so energetic I stayed up til the wee hours of the morning watching, enthralled.
I do want to clarify from yesterday’s comments that I know EMF meters from electrician loved ones (and the Boy) checking outlets or small appliances for malfunctioning, a fuse going, etc. When I put it in Burt’s paw, as I sometimes give him a screwdriver, wrench, wire, etc, I imagined that Burt had been using one of these to check the outlets, connections, and equipment in the studio. He’s not using it in the panels or holding it up at random, it’s a chore Elvis is interrupting. I mentioned this in a thread above, but thought I’d put it here too, since sometimes folks have requested that I put comments in the main thread so that they can be seen more easily.
Fun fact, the Boy has an EMF meter and uses it to check the electronics in the house (and search for ghosts, hehe!)

“No doubt.” Well, let’s hope there’s “no doubt.”
I’m sure there is no other possibility.

No doubt Pucky. Unless….. it’s something a bit more alien to the area, so to speak.

Gorgeous!
I’ve seen the aurora in Rochester, MN, and Durham, NC. That last was energetic to be seen so far south.
