Howdy's, people... weather's been nice, so that means long days out here. Which is good, since they could have been long days sitting inside watching it keep on raining.
Jim, that absolutely sucks that they'd pull the rug on you like that. Indefensible, in my opinion. But, hang in there... bad times don't last forever.
And handshakes? I don't do that very often... nobody seems to wanna offer their hand to the likes of me for some reason.

Howdy yall!
Firm handshakes are important. But too much makes you look like an idiot.
Example...
Tonight I met one of my ex's and her Fiance... The guy is 100% DORK and he knows that and she knows that and they both knew that I knew that.
Anyways. He goes to shake my hand and does the whole reaching almost over hand to get a good grip. And he seriously tried to shake my hand so hand i think he might have crapped himself. When he did this I knew it was coming and I accidentally let out a snicker. It was so funny to me and I dont even know why. After this happened they "had to leave". Poor guy is probably discussing this with himself while driving he "modded" Scion crap box. LMAO

Would that work Dan, because the box would spread the weight over al of the pieces, and like sand, it would/should support the weight, craking the egg when it hits, instead of giving way.
Should have multi quoted here, but your on Lisa..and I am going to make sure one of my boys opens a door for you to, even if it is to the outhouse...
Good Morning All!!!!

Morning.
Some of the smartest people I know are hands-on learners. Everyone has a different learning style.
Ahh I remember that project in school. I had the winning egg drop. A lot of it is going to come down to who can drop the egg more accurately. A lot of kids got discounted because they couldn't even get the egg to their contraption..or most of them bounced out and smashed on the ground. Make sure you have something to help keep the egg from bouncing back out once it gets there. I used polyfill.
Puleeze. The more you keep saying this sort of crap the more I am convinced you're probably some gorgeous millionaire.
The point of the egg drop is to get it there without breaking it.
And Pat, that sounds good...except, not sure if I need two boys chasing me down every time I have to go pee. hahaha.
And Nolan, the point is a firm handshake, not to break the other person's hand. I bet men do that to each other a lot. Am I wrong?
Maybe he wants it to return to him?

You can have great physical strength, but without self control and finesse, you are only one step above a gorilla.
Depends on the guy. I know when I was climbing frequently, my handshake was VERY firm, but not crushing. Some guys, when they feel you are all limp wristed, will suddenly try to crank down on you... and by doing so, simple emphasize how big of a puss they really are...
g'morning all!!
g'morning all!!
But again, why break the other's hand just to prove it?
I turn wrenches for a living and have a very well developed grip, but never try and show it off. Just enough to let them know that I am heterosexual.

Lisa, I think the concern would be the boys opening the door when you were ready to come out..
Dan, I am with you... sadly though, the classes I am taking now are in human resources.. I am not sure I would be qualified by book, or hands on..

Good Morning All.
I have a tough time with handshakes I have small hands and it seems that every jamoke that shakes my hand has huge hands and I end up with a crushed hand.
Jim, that absolutely sucks that they'd pull the rug on you like that. Indefensible, in my opinion. But, hang in there... bad times don't last forever.
And handshakes? I don't do that very often... nobody seems to wanna offer their hand to the likes of me for some reason.
Thanks FF I appreciate that. If we ever get the chance to meet I would gladly shake your hand...just don't crush mine

Foam was banned in the rules. And I'm not talking about just stuffing bungees in there. I mean there's a tiny box suspended in a big box by bungee cords so when it hits the ground it strokes downward increasing the time taken to apply the impulse to stop it. Then the tiny box has sand inside it to cushion the egg and add weight. I'll get pics.

Rules is rules, too bad about the foam.
Now that you've taken pictures, I can see that the big box will provide a bit of self sacrificing "crush" on the corners during impact that will work just as good as a bunch of foam.

Looks good Pete. I would only worry about the duct tape coming off from the corners. Could you lace the bungie cords to the out side of the box and reinforce it with the tape? That way the edge of the box will help support the cords?
