Not a problem. I will just continue sipping on my bottle of Crown Royal as I prefer it anyway. If you are thirsty, you might enjoy a swig.

OK. I might open the bottle and give somebody a swig if you can tell me how to resize a photo. I am trying to change my avatar pic and I keep getting this message: The avatar must be less than 80 pixels wide and 80 pixels high You need a photo editor to resize the image. Depending on what software ...

TITWI: Thanks for the link. I am not sure how I missed it in my searching, I must have lost concentration for a minute or two. It looks like they came out great!! As tall as they are, counstruction must have been a little more difficult. Just curious, but did you build bottom up or top down, and do ...

This is an interesting question, and I would be curious what the plan would be. Relocating such a large crowd could be rather challenging. I have also wondered what would happen if a rather large sudden downpour happened during the event. With the climate changes we have experienced so far, I would ...

YO TITWI and Pinemom It has been a while since I have been on the boards, but something keeps pulling me back. How has you winter been down there? From what I have heard, you have probably been cold and dry for the most part. I still use a photo of the small domes as my computer wallpaper. I have be...

Spaced out.

The rafters can be pretty cold this time of year. How bout I throw NEB up to help hold off the chill.

Guess I better crash too.

I am guessing that the reason you were not hit hard is that you are prepared to deal with it. With all the gear you have for the playa, there would be no challenge for you. The ugly stuff mainly happens to those who are not prepared!! We are probably two months away from flowers here. The river is s...

I am happy to hear that your area was not hit too hard. I heard that some areas were without power for weeks, and this is not a good time of year to be pwereless. For me, this winter has just been long. Normally we have a lot of snow to play in, this year the area turned white, and then just got col...

I am doing OK. While winter is my favorite season, this has been a long one that I will be glad to forget.

Watching the news, it sounded like your area got hit with some pretty bad ice storms and power was scarce. How bad did it hit you, and how are you and Karine doing?

I just ran some numbers and it looks like the most efficient dome in the 30' range would be a 4V slightly less than 31.5' and would require 170 10' sticks of EMT. If you want more details, let me know.

LCN:

Great to see you. Have a cold one on me.

I have not been following the threads for a while, have you done any work on your steam engine?

I have been away for a while, I wonder if my old stash is still hidden. Let me see, if I pry this board up, and reach back around that post...

YES!!! And it is still almost full, but I can cure that.

I think I will just head back to my dark corner booth and relax for a while.

We ended up building ours from scratch. Not to bad on the finacials, concidering what your building. I would try craigslist maybe to see if any theme camps are stopping, and selling off their stuff...try all states even! Might be a good try ????? If you do decide to build one...there is one hell of...

There are two major problems with lights that I see. First, during a dust storm when visibility is limited anyway, how far away are you going to see the light. Next, if it is clear and you can see the light from a great distance, what happens if it is somebody else's light that had the same idea. If...

With the observatory centered above the stripper pole, if I reinforce it a bit, that could be a nice mount for the the telescope pedestal. I may be nice to have an elevator over here on the side, it is too difficult to carry drinks up the stairs in the dark. Now let's work on the drink list a little...

While it is so quiet here, maybe we should add an observatory to the roof. It is fairly dark out here tonight, the stars would be great viewing. To get in the right frame of mind, we could have special drinks depending on what we see in the Telescope. Let's see: Pluto - PBR Venus - Vodka Mars - Marg...

This is a social experiment. I am counting the number of assholes that are willing to give me such information. Congratulations, you are number 17!

One last thought before I return to my normal lurking mode!!! Early on you were debating between using all four cylinders, or just two, and as I remember, you went with four. When you get back to playing with this, I am wondering if you could learn a little by going to a 2+2 arrangement. Run two cyl...

LCN this is an interesting puzzle. It sounds like the ICE is the best idea for this year, but I am sure curious what the problem is with the steam and I am glad you will dig into it more later!! Just another off the wall idea, could the valve timing be wrong for steam? Again, I have no experience di...

LCN: I have been enjoying this discussion and keep expecting to hear that it is fully operational. Sorry to hear about the latest set-back. Now, coming from someone who has never worked on a steam engine, so consider the source, I have a question. Is your main problem due to the thermal mass of the ...

I have been trying to stay out of this one, but I can't take it anymore. NASCAR designs their cars to operate in the 180-200 mph range. They put loads of money into their design both in aerodynamics and engine performance. If cars get better fuel mileage at high speeds, why is it that at the end of ...

This morning the hills all around are white about 100 feet elevation above me. It looks like we were just below the snowline for the night.

spring has become endangered in north idaho I think you can leave the north out of that statement. It was snowing here a half hour ago, and I am in the south half of the state. When it is not snowing, it is raining heavily. The river is about as high as I have seen it, but no damage like that happe...

I am still looking for some good video editing software. Are there any suggestions of one I should look at, or ones that I should stay away from? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! You can probably find a pirate version of Sony Vegas out there. It's pretty simple to use. I want to thank you ...

Cheater! hehhee Hey How's it going StarGeezer? Long time no talkie.....although I do know my Boob's owe it to all to YOU! The brains behind the boobs! Pinemom: You and TITWI did all the fun stuff, all I did was the puzzle work to minimize scrap. I was most concerned with converting as much waste as...

You were getting very close!

This one should do it!!
