PC Projects - this site ... WaterPlant work log on bit-tech.net ... WaterPlant Article on bit-tech.net

PC modifications. I am building a PC watercooling system from antique Erector sets. The next project will be an Erector set PC. The external cooling system is call the WaterPlant. The PC, when built, will be called the PowerPlant. The first link above has lots of pictures, but few comments. The second link has less pictures, but has the log as I am building it, along with forum members feedback on the results.

Inland Waters Resources

Charts of inland rivers in the USA. The USACE has removed some of the charts from the web, but a few are still here. Links to the USACE district sites have been added.

My Boats

I have a few boats. Here are some photos and short descriptions of 3 of them. I don't have photos of the canoe and the windsurfer, but the power boats are here.

The Trip

The first large boat I bought was a 36' 1966 Pacemaker Sedan Flybridge. I bought it in New Jersey and had to get it to Charleston, SC. This is a write-up of that trip. 1000 miles in a 35 year old wood boat can be interesting.

1966 Pacemaker

Here are some photos and a detailed description of the Pacemaker. This page was originally put together as a "For Sale" page.

Halsom American Brick and Halsom American Log Plan Booklets

Scanned images of the plan booklets for Halsom American Bricks and Halsom American Logs. There are two sets of plans, 16 pages each, for the Halsom American Bricks, one from an early version and one from a later one. The Halsom American Log plans I have are all identical, except for two pages that I haven't found elsewhere. The one 4 page booklet and then the two additional pages are here.

What The Cat Knows @ Hairballs and Sticky Things

Brent Schofield has written 2 wonderful fictional childrens books about cats. Have you ever seen a cat suddenly jump up and tear out of the room? Or attack your pants cuff with no warning at all? Or regularly mess up the table cloth on the table? Well, these books explain it all. Not just for children, but for all cat lovers!

Geocaching

Geocaching is a new family sport using a GPS. The web page will show you locations near your home or a place you plan to visit (all over the world!). You use the co-ordinates and clues provided to locate the "cache". It's usually a tupperware container or ammo box with some prizes and log book. You bring some prizes with you, take out a prize and put one of yours in. Fill out the log so the person who maintains the cache can read your comments. See the well designed web page for further details.
