Boats an' speakers

"My God Billy Bob, what have you done to "da house"? There's tools lay'n round all over the place. Tape, wire, electric drills, hammers, screwdrivers, nuts an' bolts....Jesus, what a mess.

Well ya see, it's like this......I were sit'n there on the couch an' crank up the surround sound system to listen to some tunes. Then I got to look'n at the speaker positions. That ain't right, so I'm gonna move 'em. Think'n this would be a easy task, I jump in with both feets. In the process, I decided I would change out the old speakers with the new ones what came with the 500 watt system. Shoot, they different and don't fit. "Modify Billy Bob, ya can always modify". Two hours later, two speakers have been relocated and replaced. Two to go.

Remember that "smoke generator" I was tell'n ya bout? Yup, I done tore a fully operational heat gun slap to pieces. Ain't used it since I live on the boat, so what the hell? A short section of the heat'n element wire was formed into workable miniature "smoke generator" heat'n element. I hook it up to the battery what operates the remote control electronics and motor for the Mississippi river boat.....an' WALLA.... that sucker turn a glow'n red color. Burn my fingers yeah it did. That only took a couple hour or so of my time.
 A few more added items an' I gonna have me a "smoke generator" from hell. Hmmmmm, wonder if'n the boat gonna catch a fire when I turn it on? Burn slap up an' sink.

 I like to draw too.
Won't be long until I gonna have me a authentic look'n Mississippi sternwheeler ready to launch.

Holy crap, it were windy last night. And the temps is fall'n down again. I was look'n at the weather forecast thingy for the next couple days.....ain't look'n too good. Lows back into the mid 40's. How can that be right? Gonna be too cold and windy tomorrow (Monday) at the golf swak'n place for the old Billy Bob to be swing'n bats. Maybe!!!!

Ok....got some stuff I gotta do.....off to Home Depot for parts......laters.

  1. Just don't try to jump start it with gasoline. I remember when I was a kid, I had a Lionel train set and you put little white pills down the smoke stack and it would puff out white smoke as it ran around the tracks.

  3. The art work tells the story. A real professional at work! You will post pictures or a video of the smokestack in operation, I hope.
