With pictures.

Sorry about the delay
Sorry about the delay all you peoples out in cyberland. I have been busy. Unfortunately not with fun projects, but that will be changing.
There is a new live
journal community in town. Specifically, TerminuSteam, for the Atlanta, GA area. I have fallen into the rabbit hole/thing I usually do when I get obsessed with something and it all seems to want to come together. It is rather frightening.
But I digress.
This gives me many more projects to do, of which it seems I already have 90% of the materials to do so. This is a major rarity. Especially since it allows me to do something kind of neat. At the meetup we had for terminusteam I was rather (I apologize now) jealous of some of the AMAZING props that came with people. I was actually thinking of trying to fall into my old pattern of not doing anything because it would not be as neat as some of the stuff I had seen out there in cyberland and up close. But then, with the illustrious help of Mr. J. Verne, and my inherent pack-rat nature, I had an epiphany. Yea, my stuff may not look as cool...but I can make it OPERATIONAL. No I won't be making steel shrouded Leyden spheres, but i have the working air gun that would launch them. Oh and for ranging to target (will get to that later) I already own a visual range finder! Just need to punk it out!
It may not be all brass and shiny gages, but it WORKS! For REAL!
Life can be fun sometimes!
