#6: Back in my youth college dudes used to do that trick with telephone booths, but now sence 50% of the population doesn't even know what a telephone booth is they gotta work with what they got.
#1 I've seen that kind of mesh being made at a factory in Hartlepool in the North East of England. They did it by feeding sheet metal between two spiked rollers that were geared to turn at slightly different speeds to get that tearing effect. Stonyground.
It's called expanded metal. I've made several head racks for pickups with it. I still have a chunk of it in the shop even though my welding days are over.
3) It amazes me that a bull can make that leap and not have it's legs BTFO on landing, given the weight and forces involved. All that body on those skinny legs just seems to violate the laws of physics.
8) Killer reflexes, and a nice save by dad.
10) what the hell did they just pour over that burger?
#7 US Navy experimental rail gun firing. Mach 8+ velocity but the 'barrels' were not durable so the program ended. The Japanese Navy has test fired their version this year. Al_in_Ottawa
It could be a Mexican chocolate mole sauce like the ancient Aztecs made. Dark chocolate with chilli peppers, spices, and NO sugar might complement the hamburger. As you wrote earlier there will be foodies paying through the nose for something they haven't tasted before. Al_in_Ottawa
A friend and I helped the deputy out one afternoon. Big ass bull in the middle of US 20, west of Vale, Oregon. We were trying to keep him bottled up, and he made a move to get around me. I charged him a little, and he backed up slightly. Being 20 something, and full of piss and vinegar, etc., I really moved at him! That big bastard turned and flew over a double cattle guard like he had wings!! All three of us were amazed. 1980, after shooting jacks all day, drinking Coors original. Would've probably blown a dui, but they weren't like that then. He was damn glad for the help, and no accident to tend to.
# 4 is a flare that is used to dispose of crude oil during the testing of remote exploration oil wells. We have to flow the well for a few days and measure the pressures and flow rates to determine if the reservoir and well are economically viable. Because the well is located in a remote location, there is no viable way to store and export the oil for sale. The same thing is sometimes done on exploratory natural gas wells, but the flare is designed for natural gas, not crude oil. I did tested exploration wells like this in Alaska and then around the world for about 10 years.
#6: Nope, Nope, Nopity Nope. I'd get in there, close the door, and not be able to find and trip the release. Nobody could help me from the outside, because the key would be in my pocket.

When I asked you to burn the shit out of my burger I meant a nice char on the outside of the patty.

ReplyDelete#4, why?
ReplyDelete#5, chasing that education!
#4 - to be deployed at the next antifa riot!!
Delete#4. It might convince the bull in #3 to stay on his side of the canal.
DeleteWhat the heck is #4?

I've always wondered how they make that stuff. You can't beat it for traction underfoot in snowy conditions.
DeleteIt's called expanded metal. I've made several head racks for pickups with it. I still have a chunk of it in the shop even though my welding days are over.
DeleteThe Golden Years suck.
Thin / soft version is commonly used under stucco too. Handy, albeit interesting to handle.

3) I think the same thing every time I watch a PBR event.
Delete10) I don't know but I guarantee you they're charging big bucks for it.
DeleteI think it is chocolate flambé. Make a chocolate sauce, add cognac, brandy, or rum at 80% alcohol, warm it until the alcohol evaporates (about 170F IIRC), pour it on your meal and ignite it. Keep a lid handy to smother the flame to keep things from getting out of hand and a CO2 fire extinguisher in case they do.

On a HAMBURGER??? Ew ew ew.....

No cold burgers served there ... lol
Delete#3 - And we will name that bull Evel Knievel ... that was one helluva jump ! Bull ring viewers take note - those mothers can jump, properly motivated.
ReplyDeletethey can jump as well as mules, had one repeatedly jump over a 10'gate to avoid capture.
DeleteAlso had a Jersey heifer with a prolapsed uterus, chased her for hours in the pasture, dive into a pond and swim across to avoid us "helping" her.

ReplyDeleteDon't know what #4 is for, but I want one! Don't know what #10 is for, but I don't want one.

#7 US Navy railgun test at Dahgren, VA. Multiple sheets of HY8 battle steel were penetrated 'easily'... Sadly, the barrels never held up.
