Can't blame him !!!!
Guitarist Eric Johnson was a massive idol and inspiration for Stevie Ray Vaughan. Both musicians grew up in the Austin, Texas, music scene and developed a close friendship that lasted until Vaughan's tragic death in 1990. Vaughan frequently praised Johnson's incredible tone, practice habits, and technical skills.

Just don't let it use the net.

Good morning! Floating horseshoes on the coffee to test for viscosity.

That would be known in the scientifical circles as a density/specific gravity test. You must try to pour or measure the resistance to shear the stuff to determine viscosity.
