http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NitrobenzeneWhat I breathed of the 'Shoe polish' from other fliers burned fuel may or may not be part of my current health issues.
Elbow deep in polyester vinyls, MEKs, Solvents, Gasoline, Paints..so forth did not help matters.
The coke bottle full of possibly contaminated brake fluid( was on bench to see if the kerosene separated out) looked like coke, did not taste the same, kind of greasy going down.
Yes Doc, Somehow I survived
Things that did not cause harm, The 60s and 70s
Fuel can rockets( Tim bring your fuel cans over here where I can give some adult supervision
40ft fall from top of neighbors chimney, Kinda in a hurry to get down after dropping a Big bag of fire crackers down said chimney, did get the 'Hippie' party below movin!
The big, full can of startin either in the burn pit, The fire ball, smoke ring, mushroom stalk. My very own private miniature Atomic bomb looking thing!.LOUD
The motorcycle crash and 1/2 block slide...bike and pavement on fire. dumb teenager slid free and clear.
Real M-80s are really loud inside a car. makes neat hole in the floorboard.
Good for other stuff also.
Not going to talk about all the adults missing black and gun powder that seemed to disappear, rapidly in volume.
Something about the Mag powder?
The sand dune at the gravel pits had just the right arc to run and jump off of and fly for 100ft or so before sliding to a stop in the long slope at the end. 15ft altitudes would be a good estimate. Hippies shouldn't drink......
Bat kites, after installing broom stick spars will break .018 stranded lines when flown in Hurricanes. You think Rat racers pulled hard? Ha!
Big solid fuel rocket motors. Who needs the rocket part? I will say no more about this!
Snow sleds can do around 80mph when pulled by a truck with a ski rope.
Did you know water ski's stop real fast when you reach out to the beach?
The nice little Opel 57R was useless once wadded into a ball.
The 120mph formula car crash into the concrete wall was not as bad as one would think. The suspension failure was not planed.(2004)
How many people can live in a Corvair Van, with airplanes? Girl friends included?
Well I better stop while I'm ahead and go do something sane, like put my hands and fingers close to a spinning propeller device.
So if one is sane does it mean they are in it? Always wondered about that.....
What can I say?
