Reply With QuoteMe & a friend wanted to make a UFO. We rounded up a bunch of helium ballons from the car dealer lots & then attached a long thin wire w/ gas soaked rags hanging down 8'. We payed out a couple rolls of kite string & admired our "fire in the sky". We flew it over I-680 freeway from the park & nearly caused an accident.
We tried it again from our house & while paying it out it droped down onto a neighbors truck as he was rounding the corner home. It attached to his door mirror & he was franticly swatting at it while while weaving the road & almost crashed. We ran but the string led right to our driveway. :rollside:
funny
I was on the back of my friends boat, we dropped the anchor (with rope) and sat there and watched as the rope dropped into the clear water of Lake Powell...It was so clear, we could watch it go down. Didn't think about diving in until it was too late
Lake Powell, I leaned over the bow to look down into the clear water, you could see down about 25 feet (the lake was high back then) and watched my sunglasses go floating down, I was thinking about jumping in
Drove home from October fest at Big Bear like I was driving the Indy 500. (after a few beers) Thought I was doing an outstanding job of driving...I was probably SUCH an idiot...a miracle I survived....
all I can think of now................. :cry:
