These are small electric boats. The light blue one still has its battery present at the 'Aft' . That's a fun word for some reason and here is another, TROJAN. The battery is white which was patented by the Trojan Battery Company (No Joke and it's okay to laugh.) There are still a few places that sell this very high quality battery (33% higher price than an AC/Delco battery) for cars and anything else. I had one in one of my cars which was installed by a repair facility and it was quite humorous to see TROJAN in red letters on the white battery when I checked the oil. I knew my car was safe if it ever drove itself to a 'Rave' or some other nightclub so that's something isn't it? :-D
boiler 1220,
Hey Dennis, just out of curiosity, is that Dairy Queen still down the road from Gaebler?
I remember going to that when Gary would come up and take me out for a couple of hours.
As an Engineer in quite a few disciplines I say it is, in fact, a filtration system. The pipe that rises upwards is a 'Bleed/Overflow' port similar to the air gap on a kitchen sink for the dishwasher. If your drain is clogged, the waste water comes out of the little cap next your faucet on top of the sink. This is an inefficient system that relies on gravity and does not supply a lot of water, by any means. It does make sense as you still would want a system that could operate without electricity, if needed. I could be wrong, and thats fine, but I am pretty confident in my analysis. Apologies if this bored you, thats just what Engineers do for no real reason other than 'It was there.' LOL
Pookie,Former Patient,
Well now, you have me at a disadvantage.
You remember me?
Been so long ago.
I am glad that we can come together and perhaps get some closure and maybe healing too.
I think that most of us, if not all, went through hell growing up, not only in this place, but growing up in general.
I know I still have major trust issues because of "the adults" which has made me a kind of recluse.
Seems like every time I trust someone they stab me in the back.
So my trust is hard to earn, but once you earn it, you have a friend for life, unless you lie to me, then trust is lost.
reminds me of the scene in the movie "Night Shift" with Henry Winkler when they are having a party in the morgue and they scream out "NEW GUY" and put him on the gurny and its like a party game to them. Damn I wish I had that on DVD
