Great Bob,
Now don't be too suprised when a package arives with no
return address and 4 cloves of garlic.

LMFAO!

OHMIGOD! Hardware store lumber? THATS NOT AIRCRAFT QUALITY! THERE'S NO
CERT STAMPS ON IT! What would Wilbur think?

Kinda reminds me of last weekend. Here in Boulder, CO, spring is a big
deal. It finally stops snowing (sorta), the birds are chirping,
there's coeds in bikinis at the park, all of the mooks go home for the
summer. But just before, there's the annual rite of spring, the KBCO
Kenetics challenge. Its a race, sorta, for kenetic sculptures! There's
a parade the week before that involves a 3 minute-skit and bribes for
all of the judges. Then on the day of the race, its out to the Boulder
Resivoir! The human-powered contraption/sculpture/thingies must
navigate a course that takes them from a beach, over water, down a
dirt road, through a field of prarie dogs, back onto the water, into a
mudhole, over a 4' high dirt berm (conveniently ajacent to said
mudhole) and back to the beach. The sculptures themselves are amazing
in that you will never see a more (or less) impressive collection of
foxed-up junk and garage engineering anywhere outside of that "other"
kenetics fest in California. But some of the ugliest ones seemed to
work the best, proving the fact that you can mate a 17" boat propeller
to a chain-driven lower unit made from a snowblower differential and
keep it working for 4 1/4 miles.
