http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3uyWRkoX4o I had more fun with my Gilbert Chemistry set than you can imagine. That's what got me interested in science and math to tell the truth. My favorite thing was mixing up test sets for soil acidity, pH and stuff like that. I even made a chemical Barometer once. Man that was fun. My brother has all our American Flyer train sets - one of my Dad's friends at the Milwaukee Sentinel was a huge model train buff and gave us a bunch of stuff every year. I never got into trains for some reason - I was more into radios and chemicals. :) -- If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat? |

I liked the part of the chemistry set where you made rocket fuel, etc. As to erector sets, never had one, but since dad owned one of the bigger machine shops in the area, I got to build with real steel. Could turn out a great breech loading cannon on the lathe at 10 years old. Then could put the chemistry set to use. Jetex fuses were the purchased parts. |

And that lobster boar, I'm sure it was the most beautiful boat in the state of Maryland, or was it the boat for which no registration could be found and then you said it was registered in another unnamed state "for business reasons?" |

We had plenty of explosives on the farm and I got to help blow up rocks and tree stumps and gopher holes...
