    When I was a kid, I’d hang around anyone working on anything. Trying to learn something. Once, about 9 yrs old, my Dads friend rolled up, “What are you doing under that car?” I’m taking the seats out. Guys paying me .50c. He just smiled and shook his head.

    Guy wanted to know why I wouldn’t take this load.

    I explained, I’m no longer crazy.

    He couldn’t understand why I was deadheading over 300 miles home, how much money I was wasting.
    I told him, it was my money, taxes were paid, until I tried to spend it, in which case I’d owe more taxes, since that is the way of the promissory note.

    Depends on the color of the lights and if steady or flashing. Hell to be color blind, too...

    I watched PBS show on it. The boilers were recently patched. Then they gave way. Boat massively over crowded. By Mistake and greed. Most union vets were from confederate prison.

    Err not the governor. I said ball and plunger safety. Marine vessels have the resistance of water. So there is no need of a governor to keep the engine from spinning too quickly. A picture of the safety below.

    As it was mentioned before. People have a way of changing history to dumb it down for the masses. Live Steam magazine is a technical magazine that has articles for people whom have knowledge of steam. PBS on the other hand only needs to generate info that the common idiot can comprehend.

    Isnt learning fun?
