Synopsis: Norweigan FM Pirate explains his buriable transmitter from 30 years ago while inside his homebuilt cat-cage (complete with hamster wheel). A fascinating contraption! He is nutty as squirrel poop, and I love it.

This is the blog of a one Ben Wilson, a Louisville, Kentucky native who enjoys baseball, beer, music, bikes, things that fly and good food. By day he pushes pixels and makes the Internet happen for a local advertising agency. His wife, Kelly is an Ironman, and his baby Amelia is the cutest thing ever. |
That question is answered by Dr. Charles Dillon of the League of Science in the Monkey Interest.
The monkey in question is Slingshot Monkey, a wonderful contraption with surgical tubing for arms that you fire from your fingers. No monkeys were harmed in this experiment. (He had a tinfoil helmet). The speed was measured by a HotWheels Radar Gun, which are currently $15 at your local, neighborhood Target. Gonna use it one some of my soaring machines as well, I think – I might take it apart and modify it for range.
Oh, and the answer to today’s question is 12 MPH. (Monkeymiles per Hour)
Side fact: Banannon is the chemical ingredient that makes bananas taste like bananas.

On Saturday, Hunter, Katy, Joe, Kelly, Cherie and I made our Annual Trip to Huber’s.
Later in the day, we went to Holly’s 30th Birthday party.
On Sunday, we carved pumpkins.
(a while back, I took some pictures of Kelly and our cat Karen)
update: yeah, so it was Katy who went with us to Huber’s. Jamie was around later for the pumpkin carving. Note time of posting: 8:30AM. I am not legally liable for misspellings or misrepresentation of fact until after 3:30PM EST.

Bear prowls Montana neighborhood. Climbs tree. Animal Control. Tranquilizers. Trampoline. Hilarity ensues . . .

Kentucky Fair 2003
Jackson, Kelly and I went to the fair yesterday! Bunnies and rednecks and chickens, OH MY! Note well our “weak shouldered” bunny friend over to the right there… We also encountered rockabilly ducks and some odd memorials to Bob Hope and Desert Storm II in aquarium format! The bunnies were extra cute this year.
Check theKentucky State Fair 2003 gallery!
