Happy Thanksgiving - A fireside chat.

I'll tell you what, I really miss my old men school teachers....

Formal technical school, trade school, etc., etc., etc..

Like I can't live in the past, but I am so grateful that they were there at those times.....

Did I ever tell you about the time I heated up the end of about 1 meter of so of tube with about 20mm in diameter, and then quenched the oxygen acetylene welding torch, and then blew the unlit gas mix, into the cold end of the tube...

"BANG!" - Fuck me! That was loud...

Out comes my teacher from the staff room.... thinking some kid have put holes into himself or bits of someone else into orbit.....



LOL - Only perform well mixed oxygen / fuel gas explosions as intentional scientific research.

i.e. Sonic to Supersonic to Detonation in long tubes.....

Otherwise avoid like the plague....


So we have to make the most of these opportunities to learn from you.
