Sorry about the trip. I hope you feel better soon.

If you hold off until the first weekend in August you can catch the hydroplane races on Lake Washington.

I like Mississippi hydroplane races more better. It's a spectator sport.

I am fully recovered from the virus I supposedly had, but the day before our 6 am flight I was very ill. Ol' Wifehorn said, "I'll cancel the flight but you have to go to the doctor." She was unamused. Sympathetic, but unamused, and for good reason - she wants to see our family in Seattle, and so do I. So I went to the gastroenterologist today and told her the story, and she said, "You had a virus, but it's gone now." I had a good long conversation with her, and then she sent me on my way.
Anyway, we have rescheduled and we're set for July.

If you were up here, tomoorow you could watch the thrilling races of Shriners riding coolers.

Nope. Not gonna make the village (idiot) parade joke, considering one of the last parades I watched involved motorized recliners, the Krewe known as the Laissez Boys.

Oh man. Tragic to miss that. Remind me to miss that next year, too also.
Speaking of my trip to Seattle, I know y'all remember that three years ago, at the Seattle Zoo, I successfully got my 3 year old great-nephew Hunter to run over to his mother and solemnly inform her that the hippopotami were out of gas and we had to take them to the gas station.
We were in a sedan, and I'm still not sure whose lap the hippos were planning on sitting in.
He's 6 this summer, and may be somewhat more difficult to fool. But I'll try. And now he has a sister only two years old. The possibilities are endless.![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

A cube of spheres. Neodymium, 1 cm apiece

Yeah, and since I have 43 I can form a cube.
I also have 63 spheres which are only .5 cm.
I had a big neodymium, 40 mm x 40 mm x 20 mm, but I let it get too close to another big magnet I have, and when they collided the damn thing chipped. It was too powerful for me anyway - I only hurt my finger once, but it stung. And I couldn't repair the chip, so I dumped it. That magnet was so strong it was dangerous.

.
That's two hundred sixteen individual magnets, half a centimeter each, configured as a cube. 'Course, if I laid them out in a row, it would be 1 meter 8 centimeters in length. It takes practice to form them into a cube. This time I got it on the third try.
