petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Funny how far some of the detritus lands from the high tide line during storm action. There are literally tons of stuff out on the Aleutian beaches to sift through. I have friends with buckets of glass float balls. https://www.ebay.com/b/Antique-Fishing-Nets-Floats/37968/bn_2309336 The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | IDK, people are funny. I only kept a few, and I only found one of those. In my business, we studied rigging. In the pictures you can see how a float is completely entombed in line. It is a fine example of how a person can tie up a bowling/cannon ball with rope. Knot tying and rigging, block and tackle, is fun. Onto the yardarm matey. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

That is true that Nickel Cadmium batteries invented in 1899.
The D size 34.2 x 61.5mm was introduced in 1898, so that seems perfectly plausible. |

Isn’t that a joke that never really happened? IE: How come the Professor can make a radio out of a coconut, but he can’t fix the damn boat? Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power. But having only some facts can get you into trouble! |

IIRC They did try to fix the boat and Gilligan somehow mucked it up. Again IIRC something about the glue they made. The President is a fink. |

I watched that show when it was on the air, and it was ridiculously silly even then. But it was supposed to be. Batman, Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, Adams Family, Munsters, all were purposely silly shows. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Nothing wrong with a silly show. In that era it worked, I doubt it would today. If it entertains you for 30 mins, it did it's job. The President is a fink. |

We loved those shows, really loved them. But it was boom times, lots of jobs, Detroit was still cranking out new models every year, color TV was the rage, and the Beatles and Monkee's with their silly songs. The 60's really were the 60's they've been cranked up to be. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

He put too much water in the vat when they were making the glue. The boat held up for a day, but when they were ready to board it to leave, the boards starting to come apart and fly all over the beach. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |
