And I miss Nosher and the megs -- an "'it ut with a bigger 'ammer" - back
when the skill was not finding the plants in the yard but bodging together
something that worked. My all-time favorites are still the non-wheeled
trans****tation, the true amphibious vehicles, and the gasoline
milage/endurance race. But fireboats with the NERDS is near the top.
