Random Cool Tricks

What sport is this? It ain't soccer, they're using hands, not kicking.

 

It's called handball. Handball is a fast-paced, indoor team sport where two teams of seven players compete to score by throwing a ball into the opposing team's goal, using their hands. It's a popular sport in Europe.

 

Thanks! First time I have seen it.

 

Am I the only one who stared at that for a minute thinking it would move?

 

Yup.

 

This would be me right before getting dressed to go purchase a new laptop.

 

A laptop.... on a skateboard... balanced over running water... "Whut can go wrong?" Sheesh.

 

That's what was wondering,, didn't see a cord going to it ,, not sure if the battery could fry yer ass in a tub or not ,, either way,, I shouldn't have that problem,, unless some chick happens to be at the house ,, is pissed off ,, and throws it in the shower at me.

 

I have a propane unit with a hand pump that can provide hot water from a bucket or stream.

Ah, but it was your brilliant idea to start this thread. It has definitely been a hoot for me to share some of the stuff I find and some of my own hobbies.

Cheers!

 

These old Thermos (Wards) stoves and lanterns have an integral pump and filler cap that incorporates four O-rings. On the best day, they are of questionable safety, and with the years on most of them they can be downright dangerous. The solution, created by a fellow collector and machinist was to make a Schrader valve stem cap and just remove the pump entirely. (You can see the stove pump resting against the fuel tank.) The valve is fuel proof, and you need an external pump, but any bicycle pump will work. This makes these oldies safe again.

I took an untested stove and lantern and tested them with a splash of fresh Coleman fuel and 30 PSI from my electric tire pump. Both lit right off and I had steak for dinner.
