Howdy!

My Wife Thinks my Lab is Her Kitchen!

     I am a mad scientist at heart and probably a second cousin to Gyrogearloose, an old Walt Disney character. I love to experiment and explore new ideas. I was a miserable student in my school years but the 12th grade was great. I graduated in 1958 from Bountiful High School in Bountiful, UT. Through it all I some how learned enough to score the highest score ever achieved on a general knowledge test given to 20,000 plus people over the years, by Hill Air Force Base. At Hill AFB I work in aircraft sheet metal, aircraft instrument repair, air data computers, Minute man missile repair, and micro film. I have managed watch repair departments in Sears Spokane, WA, where my wife and I met, dated and became engaged, and Sears Ogden UT.
      My wife, Carla, thinks my lab is her kitchen! She cooks on my four burner Bunsen and uses my lab utensils for dishes. One of my inventions almost flew. Imperial Toy company paid our air fare on two occasions to fly down and negotiate a contract for royalties on the invention. There was a problem with the formula that made it difficult to market and the deal fell through. That was over 20 years ago and now with a much better formula we are negotiating again with a toy company. Twenty plus years ago we researched the libraries at Weber state University and the university of Utah and we were unable to find a solution to the problem. Now thanks to the Internet we were able to find the answers we needed. The invention was ordinary soap bubbles that blew from a bubble wand like ordinary soap bubbles but unlike ordinary bubbles our bubbles dried in mid air before reaching the floor. You can see pictures of the old formula dry soap bubbles at http://www.oocities.org/wwindmills/linkpge/bubpage.html   The bubbles float around the room and can be bounced off the hand. Sizes range from over 14" down to 1" with an ordinary wand and even larger or smaller with special wands. A  one and a half inch  bubble weighs about 1/10,000 of a gram as weighed in a lab using a very sensitive Melter gram scale. The bubbles were so light that out doors in sunlight the sun heats the interior of the bubbles and they climb into the air like a hot air balloon until they are out of sight. What an awesome sight it is to watch thousands of rainbow colored, glistening, sparkling, bubbles climbing into an azure blue sky. The previous bubble description is of the old formula. Due to legal reasons the new formula can not be described here...yet.
     Currently I am trying to find funding for another invention. Many years ago I found a new and very effective way to fight forest fires and wild fires. Over the years My brother Galen and I have developed and improved it into a fire fighting system that will help extinguish wild fires faster, better, and at far less cost than current methods. Now we need money for final testing and to secure the patents. If you are interested in participating with us in this venture you may contact me at the email address below for more information. I am quite confident that this will be a low risk high yield investment. The royalties should be significant.
     My hobbies include inventing/experimenting, gardening, clock repair and restoration, especially old old clocks. Gold Panning, fossil and mineral hunting, writing fiction, cartooning, (click here to see a few of over 400 duck cartoons I have created.) stereo pictures, holograms and other sundry and assorted things that tweak my curiosity. I would love to here from you. I enjoy emails and I try to answer all of them. You may contact me by an email to:
