UPDATING OCCASIONALLY (FOR NOW)

  1. “Oh, *that* kind of grave robbing? Lead on, Chuck!” 😈

  2. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    What? I say “What”?

  3. Heh, this is going to be fun. Tradition says you need to drink at least one bottle of MD 20/20 before going to the graveyard.

  4. At first I was thinking of something like a potato battery … nope!

  5. If you take a dead “D” cell battery, take out the carbon rod from the center, cut a strip of galvanized sheet metal about an inch (2.7 centimeters), take a small jar for canning, suspend the rod in the center and the strip on the side, pour in drain cleaner, you’ll get 1.2 to 1.4 volts DC. 10 of those connected to an inverter will give you 120 VAC at 0.5 amps. Do NOT keep them in the same area you live in however, the fumes will burn your lungs. Just something I learned in chem class in high school. You’d have to top-up the jars every few days, however. Any type of acid will work, even salt water. I think the teacher was a survivalist…

  6. Scheffler, Hovland and Conners Share the Lead at P.G.A. Championship
    Jordan Spieth, who needs a victory at Oak Hill to complete the career Grand Slam, and Justin Thomas, who won last year’s tournament, just made the cut at five over.

Sophomore stresses…

Well, that’s a load off. As of last Friday we had two days to go for our Volume 2 Kickstarter and although we’d raised a hefty chunk of change, we still were a few hundred dollars short of our goal. It was a far different feeling than our first go-round where we got successfully funded about halfway through the 30 day period and then were just seeing if we could reach our “Secret Stash” stretch goal (which we did at almost the very last minute). Had we fallen short of the stretch goal, no big deal, but this time around we were short of the funding goal, period, and if that didn’t get met then there would be no book. There were several people last time around who never pledged but bought a book after the fact and you wonder if they quite understand that if they don’t kick in on the project there may be no book to buy. That’s about the time when we had been trying not to beg or bother people but I started going through my lists and arguably did just that. Sometimes people don’t have money and/or aren’t interested, but sometimes people just forget, you know? And yeah, some had forgotten. Some pledged in time, some still ended up forgetting until it was too late… BUT… we got funded. And in the end the closing surge funded us with some cushion, though not quite enough to reach the stretch goal this time. If we’d failed, there would have had to be some examination in the wake. Was our timing wrong? Did we not promote enough? Or worst of all, was there just not enough interest and support out there to keep doing these collections? Stressful stuff to consider, thankfully moot. We now shelve this particular stress and move fully on to the stress of preparing for San Diego Comic-Con.
