Thanks for the read! I haven't checked this in a while, so I've spent the last hours catching up. Great blogs!
I have two new updates:
1. John (new roommate, maybe not for long) Roach tried to blow me up a few weeks ago. We were in the backyard anxiously awaiting the arrival of my girlfriend and decided to get a few of the weeds and grass clippings burnt up. John added gas, and I was the one who pulled the trigger. The mix was ideal for an explosion. The second the flint sparked, I found myself 5 feet back, on the ground, hearing neighbors running out to see the action. Luckily I took the brunt of it on my right arm. It burnt off all my hair, and gave me a flash burn on my face which luckily left no marks. Needless to say, it didn't earn any points with Julie.
2. I've finally begun testing my first of 5 cranes that I have been working on for the Vit plant. This is the most complex, costing approximately a cool $7 million. I got back last Friday, and headed back to Minnesota to finish up this Monday. It will be a great completion to years of work. I'll leave it at that, but if any of you are interested, let me know because I can talk for HOURS about this complex piece of equipment.
Here are pictures to prove it, this all comes together to make on "crane".
Enjoy!

Dude, I already told you that I only take 25% responsibility for that terrible frickin' right arm. 25%.
But, big props for displaying it. I've got Treo Video for those interested in the aftermath.
The moral of the story is NOT: "Don't use gas to light a fire." We're all Eagle Scouts and we all use Iraqi Gas.
The moral of the story is, study your physics and learn what happens when you let petroleum fumes germinate for 35 seconds under an umbrella of dead grass clippings before you apply a spark.
(Secondary moral is, hot DeBord chicks love injured men. Trust me, I saw.)
Nice Joe! I'll have to get more details on the crane at the next block party!
