What’s the most efficient propulsion system to transfer engine power into water?

Well Weirdo,

I guess you would first have to look at nature. The fastest propelled things in the water are Porpoises. That, however, would make a really crappy boat design, flipping to and fro and such.

Next, look at what the government uses in their military. The two fastest and most efficient seem to be “Hover Craft” and “Jet”. The Jet system is used mostly in submarines but I have seen it used in pleasure craft in conjunction with propellers. The Jet system is my favorite. It uses a screw to intake water and propell it out through the rear of the vessel. A little expensive, but in water it probably causes the least amount of drag.

The Hover system is my second favorite. Less drag than the screw and was even able to move huge loads (260 tons) of building material and trucks across the Yukon river (2.5 miles) in Alaska during the building of the Trans America Pipeline during the 1970’s

is it legal to work 45 hours a week?

Hey… michael,

I agree with the others about O/T…. except,

Unless you are on salary and your job is considered administrative. Many offices will schedule you for 45 hours per week and only pay you for 40 because they deduct an hour for lunch. If they deduct an hour for lunch, do them a favor — leave the building! It’s your time baby!

I need someone to let me know what GR is smoking! The laws are so much different in his land!

What is the difference between Almond essence and Almond extract?

Hey Steve,

Extract (allegedly) is the reduced fluid from a pressed almond. In reality, it is usually a chemical copy of what extract would taste like.

(Vanilla extract is usually made this way. A good bottle of proper extract will cost around $20 and that is for only a few ounces)

Essence is any portion of the almond tree that will give the odor of Almonds (not taste). It will be the perfume of Almonds. I have rarely seen Essence. Is probably sold only to commercial bakeries.

More importantly, since it is used only to flavor most drinks and is not that expensive, why the heck are you making sloe gin? If you said you were making a copy of Amaretto Di Sarona (at $35 liter) I could see it, but sloe gin?

It must be a Southern thing!

Good luck, please don’t blow yourself up by making a still!

Any bad experiences at El Torito Restaurants?

Favorite Answer:

Hey Bird,

Just a stupid question, did you happen to have any lettuce or more importantly, did you happen to have a Caesar Salad? I have an iron stomach and I’ve only been sick at two restaurants;

1). Portabello, in San Diego – CLOSED

2). El Torito, in San Diego – Still Operating

Both times I had a side Caesar style salad.

Tell your local health department. You don’t know if they are just one step away from figuring out what is making people sick from;

a). The Restaurant

b). A Supplier

c). A Sick Employee

Most of the above would not be evident in a standard inspection.

Also, lately in the Western United States, there has been a major outbreak of bacteria from shellfish – especially when they are served raw.

Hope you are feeling better!

Does God want everyone to wear hats?

Hey Dram,

Really can’t guess what God wants, he doesn’t share that info with me.

But I do know what your Doctor wants.

Wear the hat! A hat retains 12-20 degrees (f) and is very effective about abaiting colds in the winter. It does the best job at keeping UVA and UVB rays from your noggin – Great at any time of the year!
