Quality human being! Amen - Stu always helped others - Still miss him, and his sage advice i remember him telling me about winding up the spring, not to use a small/short item [like the 3/8" ratchet handle above], so i made up two long large diameter [1"/1 1/8"] "winders", machined on the ends to fit the winder holes. that way, i could wind up with one and clamp to the roof truss, then insert the second winder, have a good grip on it, then release the first. just rinse and repeat. that method worked great, and my head and teeth thanked Stu profusely for that tip !

For the benefit of the newer members if you have a pic of Stu wearing his Viking helmet please post it.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Luckily there was a car show when we were there so I got pics of Stu's Roadrunner...

if i remember correctly, didn't Stu park his 'runner on the street in front of his house because his garage was the "clubhouse" ? Yes,it looked like his parking situation was challenging to say the least. Not uncommon in SF. His wife cleaned out the garage so the Roadrunner can fit in it.

Not sure whether Stu ever knew it or not, but he helped put my art on the map when he had me do this cartoon of his Road Runner. Before the side pipes... 2008 was a very long time ago!
