Arrowhead Falls

Hi Mr. Rabbit,

I hope all is well with you!

You should listen to some of the shows from this guy.

He's pretty interesting!

Hi Khan,
I checked out a little the homebrave website,
he has some refugee photos up now,
I couldn't figure out what was the white thread on the lips of
the guy who looked like the "Rocky" actor?

I also saw a girl dancing around to show off her home made
t shirts for fifty bucks.

I was at Arrowhead Falls Park by Whooville the other day,
and this guy was making arrowheads out of scrap glass and rocks,
he called it 'napping' I think, he showed how the Indians
would hit a rock with an antler as a tool,
and it flakes from underneath the rock.
he could get a crack started, he called it a 'fingernail'
and it would grow into that charactaristic shape of an arrowhead.

He used also,
Television screen glass,
and colored Pepto Bismol bottles.
He knew a lot about the names of Indian tribes going back thousands of years.

He fooled a professor from Whoo U,  who
thought one of his arrowheads was actually
from some tribe five thousand years ago.  

I thought he was just a wired homeless guy,
and my son on his own willpower offered him a sandwich,
but he said no,
then he came over to introduce himself
and offer the kids a free arrowhead,
I gave him some moolah,
and off he went
and finished one of the arrowheads he had started from purple glass,
and added the notches where you can tie the head to a stick.
He said the indians did not start using bows until about five hundred years ago,
after the Spanish came.  
before that they used spears,
with that 'atlatle" I'm not sure if that means the spear,
or the helper launcher that gets the spear thrown really fast.
he explained how the arrowhead breaks easily if hit from the side,
but when it strikes head on,
it will pierce the animal with much force and not break.

In other news,
my new 1999 Honda Cyclops  started to miss on one cylinder.
I was in a state of shock
but after sleeping on the situation,
I slowly became logical.  
I unplugged the power to each coil which is on each plug,
one by one,
feeling the exhaust,
and listening to the engine,
when I happened on the missing cylinder,
unplugging caused no change
in the engine,
while the others made the engine miss twice.

Then I switched the coil with another cylinder,
and the problem then
appeared on the new cylinder.

so I bought some ignition coils on Heebay.

I watched this bluetube video
and they showed the air intake being taken off.
I think in the cars I knew about,
there was a gasket and coolant passages into the air intake manifold.  
Honda did it differently,
they had two coolant hoses  going in and out of the manifold,
but the gasket mating to the engine had no coolant connections,
so removing the manifold,
you just unbolted it,
and it was a dry gasket,
and you could set the manifold aside,
to do whatever work you were after.

In other news my kid got a "C" in Spanglish,
so we went to talk to the teacher and my kid,
Android, (Andy) was very defensive,
with his guard up,
but after he realized we were just being helpful,
and he is more nice to me.
I am no longer enemy number one for this teen.
He is my height now,
although skinny as a green bean.
It is too amazing to make sense of these kids,
they were just little things so recently.

Well, things are humming along here,
I have this fix-it job here at the Laborratorry,
sometimes they ask me to do janitor like stuff,
then they ask me to save them money to fix a scientific machine,
since calling in these service reps from the various instrument
companies usually runs 5 to ten thousand.
This one instrument had a 'peltier' junction go bad,
and I happened to have one lying around that
I bought out of curiosity on Sheebay,
and it fit.  
The voltages for those things,
and their shapes,
turn out to be mainly the same,
they all run off of car battery voltage,
and have the same dimensions.
Well at least a fair number of them.

Somebody suggested that my son writes poetry like Walter de la mare,
an author from the 1920's era,
who wrote childrens poetry and stories,
so I got a few of his books on Weebay,
I read one,
the first few pages I have read out of a book in quite a while.

OK,
hope all is well,
if you ever swing thru WhooVille,
we currently have an extra empty house you can crash at,
me and my wife never have gotten rid of that real estate buying hobby/curse yet.
