This is looking worse by the minute.

SWMBO watches some of these on a TVLand website. I watch Dragnet and Emergency! on Netflix. I watched Gilligan's Island once on the web - I forget where - maybe Hulu. Good chance to catch up with...

I gave my last TV to Good Will a couple of months ago.

How these bombs work

We recently had a truck dangling over the Memorial Parkway a couple of miles from where I live.

I just hope the Sequoia finds a better steward and doesn't end up like the Williamsburg. The Sequoia is beautiful and appears to be in decent shape. I saw her docked right behind the Marina Cantina...

I was reading about the DUKW in a current thread. They mentioned a yacht "Rose" whose crew was rescued by a DUKW following a grounding. They mentioned how the Rose was requisitioned in WW II. This...

Here's a sad case where someone was preparing a science fair project similar to the so called Drano bomb and got into a lot of trouble.

Is this the boat?

My former boss and his sons hiked the trail a few years ago. I hiked my first installment last year - a short segment from Georgetown to Fletchers Cove and back.

Best wishes for a happy birthday and many more.

I'm curious too about the boat projects on tap this time.

A lot of the concerns and thinking of the cruiser of 1915 are present today - for instance their disdain for wanting to go fast and do it in luxury. Sounds a lot like me. Pretty neat article and...

There was a plane crash in Lake Guntersville. The plane developed engine trouble. Luckily the pilot knew what to do. He glided down to just above the water and stalled the plane so it dropped the...

Nice. You might want to contact Good Old Boat and have this outfit added to their list of consignment stores.

That's pretty cool.

I couldn't get the original link to show up on my ipad so here is a link to the video he is referring to.

She's looking good

I wish those injured a quick recovery. Hopefully no more things going bang for a while.

This is getting international coverage...

Energy density can be considered either by volume or mass depending on the application.

Here's a list of common materials and battery types with energy density by mass and volume.
...

High power density may mean very fast charging which would be really nice for cellphones and laptops. But there is no mention of energy density. From what I read the energy density of this...

Yep. The entertainment that I grew up watching e.g. UFO, X Files, Contact, etc continues. It looks like a fun movie to watch.

Just heard on NPR that they were from Chechnya. Just terrible wha has been going on last night.

I heard a story once about someone who worked at home. He divided work and home time by putting on a suit, walking out the front door and back in to his home office room. At the end of the day he...

I'm still happy with my Apple devices. I'm also happy that capitalism and competition are alive and well. If it isn't Apples turn at present maybe its Samsung or maybe even Microsoft.

Down here we take our sweet time starting after the light turns green until we're sure the other way is stopped. Otherwise we're liable to get creamed by someone blowing through the light that just...

Steel fits right up my alley. She's beautifully done.

Really cool. Bummer that this doesn't fit on my boat.

Another builder short of skills and full of self reliant attitude. Bring back memories....?

If North Korea invaded China they wouldn't be able to do much damage before being repulsed. Whereas they could demolish Seoul. I can see them hitting at Seoul to damage the world economy.
Of...

Unfortunately we have to go to war sometimes to keep somebody else from imposing their beliefs on us or stealing our property.

Another development - China has troops massed along the NK border with China and on high alert.

I think they are there...

Someone is always trying to dig up dirt on Auburn. +1 War Eagle.

Kim Jong Un is looking backed into a corner. He's supposedly rational but bull headed. What is he going to do next? How is China going to play this to its advantage?

I blew up an LM317 once while messing around with current indicators. The case popped in half with one piece going across the room never to be seen again. After that I decided I should wear goggles...

You need some sort of custom arrangement like what I used to remove the engine from my boat.

http://www.willmarsh3.net/rep/rep_remove.htm

Some 2x4s and a 1000 lb chain hoist ought to do the...

That'll take a bit of practice to sail like that

Claudia I wish you a full recovery.

I got lost once hiking up a mountain in Italy. I was attempting to go up "Redeemer's mountain" near Gaeta but got lost part way up in the woods. It was cloudy and I did not have a compass. This...

I think he saw his shadow twice this year.

As for netbook vs ipad I took a trip to Nova Scotia in 2009 with the netbook. I used it to store pictures, surf the web and check email. There were plenty of wi-fi hotspots so connectivity was not...

You mean next store to the Radio Shack? :)

In a nutshell...

The ipad has been great for me. It has GPS. I have very little to complain about it other than that the calendar search is limited to the past year.

The autocorrect feature...

I'm being a little sarcastic here referring to how they got in this pickle in the first place e.g. making bad loans, government spending more than it can afford, etc.

I totally agree they would...

And just *why* do they need the money?

I think the bankers entire net worth should be taxed.

@Brian The quality of the underwater video looks great.

I came across a blog that compares GoPro white edition with Sony Action Cam:...

The only thing I can do is compare the quality of the videos and look at comparison reviews. I think though the image stabilization is a major improvement.

I know of a couple of people who bought furniture only to have the company fail to deliver and then fold. Since they used a charge card they were able to avoid losing a lot of money.
I can't say...
