Added a video of the ZePpeLiN - I did a lunchtime talk on it "at" work.

The Tater Tot Gun!

Have been fixin' to build a spud gun and relive the excitement of seeing tubers launched into the sky through a mildly controlled explosion.  In researching the latest in Potato Gun technology, I came across this gem.  Elise and I built it one afternoon.

The Last Day of Sean's "sabbatical"

11/5/2019

When it's the last day of your "sabbatical," which also falls on Halloween, you need to wrap up with a bang!
Blame this guy, although I tried to take a less dangerous spin on the design:

Cruisin' Round!

2/19/2017

1 Comment

 
Got the car ready for the real deal today.  Addressed a few issues that cropped up during the initial road tests.  Dashboard installed and ignition mounted.  Got my driver ready to go and we took the car to a play date a few blocks away.  Rolling in style!  Check it.
Still so much to do, which is fine since I love it.  Wiring needs to be cleaned up, "gas" pedal mounted (that's a big one for the driver!), braking system built and installed, a fair bit of wood work to improve the look - a cross between an indy car and a 911.  Interior finishing, etc.  And paint - gonna be bada$$.

Success!

Footage from one of the first road-test runs of the car project!  (I'm holding the "gas" pedal, which is to be installed.)  All tolled, a rewarding success.  Motor/drivetrain puts out great torque, and it looks like top speed will be pretty quick.  Glad there will be a brake!  Some tweaks to make based on these dry runs, and a lot of fun ahead to get it fully road ready.  Drivers wanted!

Just Like Ridin' a Bike

Mark you calendars ladies and gentlemen, September 5, 2015 --- Elise learns to ride a bike!  Two-wheel pedal.  In about an hour!  Sure, she had logged a fair bit of time on her balance bike, but we never thought she'd master the pedal bike so quickly.  Check her out!

Sadie

As many of you know, Sadie was very sick recently, and despite her incredible resilience, we ended up helping her to a more peaceful place - one that she so deeply deserved. Thank you to everyone who expressed sympathies and realized what a special dog she was.  She will never be forgotten and will always hold a very special place in our hearts, especially Sean's (she was his first dog).  In lieu of going on and on, we have a tribute video:
