The amazing breakfast place is Ikea. Crowds of retirees meet there every morning and hang out. I don't think they buy much furniture.

It's not bad but almost always lukewarm. I think they hired away McDonald's lawyers (who has surprisingly good coffee, anymore).
Subway is edible. McDs has edible breakfasts - good for traveling unless you're in New Jersey. KFC is the worst. Might just as well eat cold grease.
Never been to one. I rarely go to fast food places anymore. We've moved upscale. ;-)
Sno-o-o-ort! My Grandfather Thompson (Scottish) would go out amongst the chickens and grab the finest ones for dinner... by the head, spin a few times then let them go. What always fascinated me, as a kid, was how they ran around, fully upright, but their head dangling on the side, until they bled out and dropped. To this day I don't understand how they maintained vertical.
I like Popeye's too... better crispy variety than KFC. ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
I love sashimi ;-)
Not if you get them locally. ...Jim Thompson

There's one about 30mi. North of here but it's such a PITA to get to that we never go. The furniture is crap, too, so unless I'm in the market for a slab of butcher block I'm unlikely to go again.
The only thing interesting about Ikea is their packing process. They probably make the best cardboard boxes in the business. ;-)
Haven't you heard... IKEA is going to switch to vegetarian meat-balls :-( At least that was their original announcement... the public uproar caught their attention. ...Jim Thompson

The red beans and rice is pretty good, but not as good as mine.

Your palate needs alignment. ;)
Well, you're not in NY, so real pizza doesn't exist where you are. Hitch up the wagon train and head out here sometime, and I'll show you actual pizza.
Never been there. OTOH there's an old-fashioned roadhouse near my lab, where they make Certified Guy Food (TM).
Cheers

I used to live across fway from in n out in Mt. View, near Google. That name - Hey I live near the old in and out. Never got used to that. :)
Ikea - You mean in Emeryville? jb
John, Where move to? Some states don't have taxes, which is a plus. The bay area is a great place - I used to live in Woodacre. Ever get there? Emeryville also. jb
Forget chicken wire. The galvanized plating will form thousands of intermod generating diodes.
In about 1981, I was at Granger Assoc doing RF work. In order to get decent measurements, we needed a screen room. It was decided to build one in the office area. The problem was cooling. If it had solid walls, there would be no air flow, and we would need to provide secondary air conditioning. So, we built it from brass wire screening over a 2x4 stud frame. There was plenty of exterior lighting and air flow but little RF. The door was RF sealed with finger stock. No soldering, just staples into the studs. All wiring went through a brass plate covered with various feed throughs. At 850 MHz (cellular) we were able to get about -60dB reduction. The screen room was also suppose to be somewhat portable, which was the case until we tried to cram it into an elevator.
Another approach is just to use an RF shielded box for the equipment under test. This is common in the radio repair biz. Before that, we would modify an aluminum trailer or steel shipping container, to act as an RF screen room. At another company, we had to heavily shield the radio burn in room as we were in the KSJC airport. The screen room was made from brass sheets over plywood, soldered at the overlaps. I nearly burned down the building when the plywood caught fire while soldering. The door would have served well on a bank vault. Approx -80dB down at
160 MHz. Watch out for thermal expansion related gaps and dissimilar metal diodes.Good luck and don't forget to search the prospective neighborhood for cell sites, DAS systems, paging transmiters, and transmitters (using the FCC databases). Dungeons work best, but tend to be unpopular with the staff.

I was thinking of the one in/near Sacramento. Read Road? Zillions of geezers chowing down on cheap, but pretty good, breakfasts.

We have relatives near Boston. They can come here and stay with us, and come to the cabin in Truckee and ski, but they must show up with a box of Boston Cremes.

We drove through it two weeks ago, on the way to a gathering in Inverness. I supplied five pounds of Shrimp Remoulade; ever peel 5 pounds of medium shrimp?
It's beautiful up there, around Point Reyes.
Emeryville less so.

IM products should be lots of dB down. I don't expect 80 or even 60 dB shielding; even 20 would be a huge improvement. We see all sorts of trash on oscilloscopes, much less spectrum analyzers, and the RF rectifies into linear ICs and confuses DC measurements.
I bought an expensive Keithley 2401 source-meter thing. Look what happened when I grabbed an insulated test lead:
I sent it back, and they didn't want it back, so I took those pictures to make my point. No way that box actually passed CE.
