I don't think cardboard will serve reliably neither will paint if it flakes off. Wood, plastic or metal sheeting with metal frames and insulting material inside is what i would go for to make.


What I want to make is a wooden box the size of a small bedside cabinet with a door. I am going to use it for all my 12 volt batteries so I can put connectors outside, voltage regulators and a voltage inverters built in.

I have got seven 12 volt 7 amp batteries and I think by using relays in the circuit to charge one battery at a time would be good for this Mtroniks charger until I can find a good size transformer.

I'll call it the plugbox.

Ooh that really irritates me making the following mistakes with a common I. mistakes with singular and plural nouns and slso missing words I thought I typed.

What I would like is a 600 watt sine wave inverter. Someone told me that the cheap ones which give out square waves was causing problems in a caravan.

Travel Journal!
Just waiting at the Icelandic Terminal so far has proven quite boss. Not only did Sayu the-nicest-lady-ever say hi to me as she arrived (timing peeps, learn it!) but I also saw the mighty Robby Rotten or as I call him. The Geir Lookalike. Beyond that, I searched for jewelry and failed, talked with Katrín for 50 minutes and made a mental note that one of the pilots is a cowboy. Very manly! Also it's awesome to get to use handwriting again. 10 minutes to boarding. Peace!

Iceland

I am in America (make this fancy and Bold!) Everyone is nice and a couple of officials to to hear why I am here. Very manly! On the Aeroplane to the Twin City I saw Soirtacus or as I lovingly call him "collossal wanker!" I had some American Coke with LIME (green!) and it was OK and I bought it from a nice African Girl. Very cute and lovely. Onboard I read Terry Jones' entry into the HHGG, Starship Titanic. Written nude and better for it. A throwback to Nakd Man playing organ only LITERARY! And better. Even beat Dougie A. IMCO
Tried calling Liz, did NOT pick up
She'll come to her senses! or else... In the Icelandic flight, there was a cute german couple with a baby. The daddy was a Hippy <3

Pinball Machines are FUN! Anywho, the nice African lady that was nice like everyone said we only have one liver instead of ten. Anyway! Many Moons ago a girl from this place broke my heart. It was the firt time. Is this fate or something better? Whore does the Number 23 enter this? I don't know but I think not shagging Stewardesses was a good idea. Well gotta go play dress up and give Cavity Searches.

EXPLOSIONS!

I feel like I've been here for ages. Everyone is nice! Cindy showed me where she and her daughter lives before giving me the keys to Liz. And now 4 hours shy of having been insepperable for 24 hours we are the cutest. Yummy food in this street and soda to boot. I'll miss Squirt. Early this morning we dined at a place called Au Couquelet or something and had yummie food with bad Hot Choc. Seriously, it had borderline soap froth. Eww. I now only have 4 lives. Given that my motelroom has 40 channels, why is there nothing on but a Chinese TV show with chinese subs!?! Liz is workin' on an eassay nigh last minute now. It's so Icelandic it's awesome. No Lazytown spottings.

Trojans are a funny brand.

This place is insane! It has Magical hobos and sodas that are magic s well. And lemonade mega hamburgers, blacks, arabs dating Jews and many many more things. And the big city is utterly terrifying as I expected. Berkeley is wonderful though. It's a place I now adore even though crackers are only in the comic shop. Time flies here, there is never a dull moment. We even got lost on the Metro which was boring and not exciting and we sleep a lot and early. Stupid early! And now I tend to go all over the place when left alone because I feel weird without Liz. BUT! I got a knife in Chinatown and a David Bowie shirt in Hot Topic and plushies in Sanriyo or whatever. The Hello Kitty store! And on the way back from the big city I saw Inspector Le Clou! Brain Overload.

END OF JOURNAL

Memory #1

Mostly because it's extremely frightening and disturbing.

Me and Liz were on our way to the motel after shopping for some Munchkins and neccessities when a lady in her 50's stops us in the street and starts telling Liz about how she lost her job and how she's going tolose her apartment in 3 or 5 days, differs from time to time. So Liz being the nicest girl in the world gives her almost ten bucks (first one, then three, then a fiver!!! I tried to pull her away) and she keepsworking her so finally Liz gives her, her phonenumber, her mom's phone number and her dorm room number and we go. Seeing her at Fred's Market while we shop for food, she gets awkward and runs out and flees on a bus.

This did not stop there.

So she calls Liz's mom and she and her grandma decide to throw some money together to help the lady, coming to 200 smackers. Try to call her but all the phone numbers are mysteriously disconnected, then by magic, she leaves a voicemessage explaining how they are:
A: Dogshit
B: Liars
C: Other explicit things.
And two days later Me n Liz meet her on the streets and she starts calling Liz names and her mom so I start running after her demanding that she "you better apoligize!" and "you don't call her a slut, you whore!"

So far, there have been no further entries into this epic tale.

Random thought - I am sad to hear of the deaths of James "Godfather of Soul" Brown and former President Gerald Ford. May they rest in peace.

[Jane Sherwood]

Is it bad that my very first thought after hearing of Gerald Ford's death was replaying that old Dana Carvey sketch from SNL in my head?

[SimeSublime]

He was the one in the Simpsons that moved in across the road after Bush Snr left, right? That's all I know of him.

PRT: Why do we count with a base 10 system? Wouldn't base 8 have worked out so much beter for fractions and division and stuff?

[Gobbler]

PRT: If I were to become a genetic-engineer, and would engineer two fingers off of our hands, would that make people want to switch to a base 8 system?

[Chyld]

...hadn't thought of that, actually. So in theory, The Simpsons should be base 8, and I should have a sandwich.

Go! Go forth, and ensure the thriving of the 8-fingered monkey! I'll make you a sandwich if you do.

[Cyzyk]

Then you couldn't have your wee 'ittle metric system, since that'd be a pain in base 8.

[Gobbler]

Yeah, Cyzyk's right, I can't do that. Metric is far better than imperial, period.

[Chyld]

Then you couldn't have your wee 'ittle metric system, since that'd be a pain in base 8.

Really? I'd have thought it wouldn't be much different, and marginally easier, what with all the division by 2 and 4. Might just be me.

[Jane Sherwood]

Screw you, metric system!
