My son has a book for boys and in it there was a recipe for Ooblek that he wanted to do. When I looked at it I saw that it was just corn starch and water. We’ve had a good time talking about physics and fluids. When he was 2 I would never have thought he’d be doing this.

Floating Arm Trebuchet revisited
I am going to help a colleague build a trebuchet this week and so I figured I should get back to mine before then. So Jake came over today and we got it really close. We have to rig up a new trigger mechanism that isn’t connected to the projectile pouch. Other than that I think it is going to work awesome. Here’s a vid.
What says Christmas more than a giant Burrito
Today we had the annual Terre View Ward Elder’s Quorum burrito social. Thanks to Bill for getting the burrito and using his honed giant burrito serving skills. I tried to get my own slice and ended up with a big pile-o-burrito on my plate. Needless to say, it was a delicious lunch and a good time with the guys. Looking forward to it next year.
