The answers to all problems are in our minds as fleeting wisps of smoke that need to be written down so that more minds can contribute and ignite those wisps into a forest fire.
Have been diagnosed with Lyme disease recently; which really affects the brain quite a bit. Once I recover I'll be posting again. The ideas are starting to brew again as I'm three weeks into taking medication.
I just found an awesome source of parts to build anything.

I've removed the rocket chiminea because of multiple problems with the design. I had problems with wind, smoke, and paint fires.
Thanks, I've been putting it off for a while. I love this site.

Human Being Robert A. Heinlein once wrote: "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
I love this; found it on the makezine site.
