The rocket is not going to “crash,” as in land in one spot and create a crater. Disintegration will be chaotic at Mach 30 when it tumbles into the atmosphere. Light parts will break away and flutter to the ground while the heavy parts will be less affected by the wind and weather. I predict a debris field roughly 300…

That’s an INCREDIBLE sound. Well, it sorta sounds like my quad flying around the living room. Maybe not so incredible after all. Maybe it should read

Thank you for that.  Making arrangements for this weekend right now.

One more point. We had a pool when I was growing up. The geography of the site allowed us to siphon the pool completely dry out to the street. One thing we forgot to check was the connections of every hose. The leaks gave us dead spots in the grass.

If I know I’m going to clean the shower, I pre-spray every surface except the floor with a 50/50 mix of vinegar and dish soap (sometimes laundry detergent). Spray until it’s dripping, and let that sit for 15 to 30 minutes. Then carefully step in to take a shower. The prespray overspray will be enough for the floor to…

In San Antonio sweet tea is what you get unless you order unsweetened tea. And about half the time you still get sweet tea if you order it unsweetened. I used to eat lunch with a co-worker who ordered it sweet and proceeded to drop 3 bags of sugar in it. She stirred until she was satisfied that no more sugar would…

My daughter has carried a folding knife since junior high school. When she found herself in line at the airport, she hopped out of line and buried the knife in a nearby planter. When she returned it was still there.

I agree. Cattle in Texas, at least, have been eating North Sea seaweed for decades. Why? Because they love, Love, LOVE it! You don’t need to feed it special to them. They will run to it first, and will eat until it’s gone. The product used here is Norwegian seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum). The problem with that is…

It seems to be backwards day here.  What I am anxiously awaiting is your take on twisted bacon.  Let’s see how this post turns out. 

I am anxiously looking forward to your take on twisted bacon. 

Spit in the ocean.

Whatever you get (and get them in metric, and imperial, and for your drill, too), but whatever, don’t get the Swiss Army folding multitool for Allen wrenches. Those are a pain in the butt to use because every one of the tools is off the center of rotation of the socket. That means the tool keeps coming out of the…

Before we answer ‘how’, we must answer, ‘why’? 

wow, that was mean, condescending, a self serving all at the same time.

I used to work in temp jobs which required I move from hotel to hotel around Texas.  I used 2-inch PVC pipe and a few fittings to run cords from the wall to the computer and printer. 

Clearly the marketing department promised a launch date that the software engineers could not meet. I’ve seen this a lot in military work. 

Don’t wait until you are on Medicare to get these shots.  Not all Medicare Part D plans cover them.  Cost is about $180 each. 

Was the aquarium attendant eating at the same crowded restaurant as the otter?  Hanging out at the same bar?  How do they get that close?
