Part 26 Build a Putt PuttPop Pop Steam Boat s23 parting words

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 08:36:20 +0000

Part 26 is a congratulations and some final words. I depend on feedback to make the instructions better. And frankly, when you get the engine working it’s encouraging to me to hear that as well. There is a gallery of pictures http://www.sciencetoymaker.org/boat/boatGallery.html of people’s pop pop boats that you can add your boat to. Also, now that you have made a boat, be aware that there is a Yahoo group of people from all over the world who experiment and talk about pop pop boats. Some people are just interested in engine development, or scaling up engines, others in making a beautiful boat for the engine, others in the history. There are nice people moderating the group, there is an enormous archive of tips and pictures, there is no money involved, and it’s easy to join (if an internet dummy like me can do it, anyone can). And, we are mostly older people, but I think I can speak for the group that we would be thrilled to see the work that younger people are pursuing (and you are still welcome if you are a geezer like the rest of us).

The Yahoo pop pop group’s home page is here http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pop-pop-steamboats/

For dozens of other DIY science toys like this one go to the sciencetoymaker.org main page http://www.sciencetoymaker.org/

More instructions for a fancier boat body coming soon, I hope.

Jawbreaker – The Boat Dreams From The Hill

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 08:36:04 +0000

From 24 Hours Revenge Therapy

Released: 1993
Label: Tupelo/Communion Records
Producer: Steve Albini

Vocals, Guitar: Blake Schwarzenbach
Bass: Chris Bauermeister
Drums: Adam Pfahler

Boat on a hill, never going to sea.
Anchored to a fixer upper’s
dream.
This boat is beat, never going to be a boat now.
Thirsty, sees the sea from high on ice plant.

He keeps patching it and painting.
Thinking about his pension plan.
But the boat is out to pasture.
Seems it never had a chance.

I wanna be a boat. I wanna learn to swim
Then I’ll learn to float. Then begin again.

Boat remembers the carpenter’s sure hand.
Missing fishy flutter on it’s rudder.
Sold at an auction, on a dolly ever since.
Sometimes rainy days bring boyish wonder.

In frederick douglas- did Frederick escape slavery by boat?- i think he did, or was it his plan?

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 09:31:02 +0000

Douglass tried escaping three times. The third time was the charm. This time he boarded a train dressed as a sailor, one of the few occupations a free blackman could have. He then crossed a river via a ferry and took another train to Wilmington, Delaware. From there he boarded a steamboat and sailed up the Delaware river to Phily before moving on to NYC.

His major findings are

Cooking Crab in a Drift Boat

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 06:42:05 +0000

Ron Wakita of Reliable Guide and Charters had a plan: Let’s go catch some Dungeness Crab in the Douglas Channel, cook them on the drift boat while we fish for Chinook (King)Salmon in the Kitimat River. GREAT plan, I said. I cut the video after the crab feast. We did hook into two Chinook but lost them both. We did land a Pink.
