Today we headed out to SF for the 5th time this month. As with previous trips, we spent a good deal of time visiting up-cycled military infrastructure.
Before leaving, as usual, we covered Safety Training.
Since Bellowing about Abstinence is about as effective as praying for rain, we like to actually teach kinds… instead of passing on the ignorant abuse that passed for teaching kids 30 or 40 years ago. The hope is that they will make good decisions based on sound knowledge.
(Instead of SNEAKING AROUND when YOU ARE NOT LOOKING)
In this case, we broke down a BBQ lighter to its core elements and went over exactly how the Butane gas is stored in a liquid form, how that is released with a lever arm into a silicon joiner, how the vinyl tube takes that up to a brass tit, how the tit does not get hot due to the liquid gas vaporizing (cooling effect + jetting distance).. .. ..
We went over Air Fuel Ratio, how the venturi effect works and why the holes are in the rolled sheet metal. How the sparking system actuates and why getting sand into it causes it to malfunction…
Just stuff like that.
So…
Before going forward here… if you think that sounds dangerous… then you better go watch some Youtube and see what YOUR KIDS ARE WATCHING while they are at other kids houses.
Be the one that teaches your kids. . . don’t let their JackAss friend be the one. We teach Safety at Schindler Engineering… which means ACTUAL WORKING SAFETY.
Speaking of safety. . . the anemone we rescued a long time back is ready to split for the second time. It is a bit hard to see here, but the body has developed 2 mouths while it has not yet separated.
You can see that we spot feed big chunks of fresh shrimp.
This is “little guy” – he was the first split. He is far larger than the original was when rescued. The original is now huge. .. but only as huge as we have fed for.
(they will grow to the size of a basketball if you let them)
Shrimp… Everybody likes shrimp…
And everybody likes coraline algae too.
Mmmm I ate TWO pieces of shrimp
So, since we are legit, it was time for peer review. We rolled thru the Behind the Scenes Tour of the San Francisco Aquarium.
Super Legit Tour, as always. Yea, you are actually looking down from the top, thru the water, at the people in the tube…
Sharks. . .. and they had a Deep Sea Bass that was unbelievable.
Which reminds me that it is time to go Diving
And check this ray out. Total character. He was trying to “Get Some”
Then off to tour the Sub Marine. . .
Fucking Misery is all you need to understand. FUCK THAT.
Not the tour, the REALITY of operating out of a WW2 Sub Marine… FO’Getit
This pic does not catch it, but the trees are huge and the aesthetics here are really appealing.
Speaking of appealing aesthetics… Eh HEM! Those Cuberts are fucking rad.
Who does not want to eat some HOTBIRD WING WING???
Sounds like they were inspired by my DOUBE-FUSION BANG BANG from last week.
🙂
I know I did (only it was hamburger sliders)
We got there right before closing. It was warm. Just enough breeze.
I wonder who use to reside in those buildings back there. . .
Just think about the vibe around WWII… what they had to sign up for… How fucked the machines were that they had to climb into for battle.
…
I was really happy to see that there was something set up to remind people of what happened to the Japanese Americans during WWII. Not subtle either.
No bad vibes. Just happy people eating food and hanging out.
And then we went on a long adventure. . . but ended up back home. Here is Tyler sniffing chicken shit.
That garden is mostly them. I am busy terrorizing the keyboard. You may wonder why I do this. If so, just ask man. It has to do with managing emotions around shit I cant control. Fucking crazy people and a crazy life. Gotta write it down or it will eat me up.
Earlier he was climbing all over the soil bags claiming that he was a Bill Hilly or Hill Billy or Billy Goat or something.
Strictly legit
Then Dinner. SSDD.
3 plates not 4.
That is the portion size we advertise on the internet. I added more stake when the second piece came off of the BBQ.
YES – sometimes pieces of meat come off the BBQ at different times (rolls eyes)
