Found the book, wasn't sure... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moon_Is_a_Harsh_Mistress The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress - 1966 Robert Heinlein Also the source of TANSTAFL if it wasn't from the Big War. :2c:

Magic9, Order to ship date is predicted on our site as 4-6 weeks and we are on track. It is sorta like a roller coaster at the park. One line. No Cuts ! Nobody ever pays to get ahead in line. Not in my park. :nod: I work in batches, ie. the roller coaster train can only hold so many at a...

There's a cronic shortage of women in the desert. Once a year a camel train passes through and the doors of the fortress are flung open and the legionnaires race out to greet it. A new recruit running breathlessly next to the sergeant asks what's all the rush about, they were only camels...

A humbling vid and touching article from the Nepal / China border. No, it's not Tibetan monks on fire. http://www.findinglife.ca/2011/10/not-without-my-baby-crossing-the-tibetan-border/ There are some other good mountain vids on the site.

Couple of points to answer. Getting a Kilo of water into LEO is about $10,000, yes, that will come down someday, but not much, and a Gallon is several Kilos... ie. Water is about $40,000 a gallon in LEO. Getting there is a much harder struggle than lifting the same kilo of mass off the moon...

I have nothing to do with these folks. A while back we lamented, on this forum, the passing of the Space Shuttle and the apparent demise of NASA. I think NASA should be funded, but the idea of private enterprise in space seemed sorta weak, ala Spaceship Two (Scaled Composites, into space...

I'll field the second one. Black Walnut, Maple and Cherry are all about the same density, on average. They perform the same. That's one reason for using these three woods, all about equal.

Pammy told me Clear Dome wrote her about a week ago, :) probably a response to her Halloween cards. I sent him a batch of vapor tips a while back and Pammy says he has been working on a new tip mount. ;) Detachable tips, for cleaning. Not sure what he is up to, but he is a creative person...

Ted the 'stuff' you are after is soluble in alcohol, either ISO or Grain (ethyl) alcohol, also in fats and oils which is handy for cooking. Check out the cooking section for of these forums http://www.fuckcombustion.com/viewforum.php?id=17 ;) So short answer to your question, yes you can...

OKcomputer, the residue you are trying to remove is not water soluble. :science: The other component of 50% (70%, 90%) ISO is water. As suggested using higher strength ISO (overnight soak and aggitation) does the trick. :tup: Or, get some Everclear 190 proof (95% grain alcohol)... Some...

This is an interesting question. Back in the day, Siskel and Ebert ??? other 'critics' etc. tried to 'advise' me. Didn't work then, doesn't work now... Watched a Bruce Lee on AMC last night... very staged, but his moves were beautiful. No more hokey than most James Bond flicks. He was unique...

Rip, Mandelbrot did win a prize. http://www.fuckcombustion.com/viewtopic.php?id=48&p=379 This was his entry. Just got lost in the mail we think. We didn't do delivery confirmation on the bowls. We are sending a new bowl his way...

Nope, the returned package was not yours, but we have heard from the missing winner... Pammy is sending another bowl your way. Who knows where the first one ended up?

Mandelbrot asks, "what ever happened with the last contest?" . . . funny you ask here and now... did you win ? Did you not receive a prize? If you won, why not ask Pammy? By e-mail... Since that's how you had to claim the prize... We run honest contests, please don't imply otherwise...we did...

Almost a week since the deadline, sorry about the delay. Pammy's asthma has been severe, any activity beyond minimum has been exhausting for her... so, the contest has been on back burner for a bit... Finalists were chosen (by Pammy), down to about 10 or 12 . . . Pammy ran these as a screen...

Time to show off the prizes. Two Purple-Days Gripper models, Black Walnut (regular stock) with Bison Hide and a figured, semi-spalted Maple from Washington state (not the stock Fiddleback Maple from Idaho...) with Purple leather. When Pammy feels better she will sort through the pictures to...

Brood said, "The PD didn't effect my power bill much at all, even when permanently plugged-in." What does it cost to run a PD 24/7 ??? PD wattage calculator. :science: http://www.csgnetwork.com/ohmslaw2.html Use the first calculator panel on this page to give you wattage. Plug in 12 Volts and...

ps. if you are ever at Mel's, get the Chicken Noodle Soup that comes with the dinners, home-made style noodles and lots of chicken... :cool: You can see the price... $8.95 ! All you can eat! Good food... Nice . . . :2c: Now back to your regularly scheduled programming... ;)

Yeah, Stickstones, I didn't know there was a real Mel's Diner... till I went in the door... and back when there were three channels, well, Mel's was lots of times a best pick... And it is a for sure a best pick for lunch in real life Phoenix. The Turkey Plate or Roast Beef Plate both look...

Enjoying all the pics. Thanks for your support everyone. :) Been in Rockazona a little over a year, lots of scenic things to see and do. And some unusual stops too... I've been by this place, Mel's Diner a couple times, it's on the main drag a couple miles outside downtown Phoenix. Had to...
