Getting the Lead In


I think the Postal Service might have been a teensy bit dismayed when ten of their small flat-rate boxes were filled with 50 pounds of LEAD each. Ballast. :)

Putting the ballast in the boat required a little... Are you ready for this, my former physics students???  CALCULATIONS!  Of moments (torque)!  Omg, it has a use!


Putting the ballast in the boat was interesting... Mixing the pellets up with epoxy made it seem like a very heavy, toxic form of caviar. But then, I've never been much for caviar anyway.
