STEM Festival Dates announced at Delta College

STEM Festival Dates announced (Schools Sept. 25th, Public Sept 26th Saturday)

April 14, 2015 doctorslimescience Uncategorized

Dow Great Lakes Bay Regional STEM Festival event held during the past two falls has become a high demand event and we’ve been asked to do it AGAIN this fall!  Dow Chemical will again be our naming sponsor.  The planning is still in the preliminary stages, but save the dates for Friday, September 25, and Saturday, September 26.  We hosted the event that weekend last year and the weather was perfect for it!  Friday will be closed to the public as area middle schools will register groups to attend.  Saturday will be free and open to the public of all ages.

Frozen in Michigan!!!

My wife Betty is so cool!

Brrrrr its cold. Infact so cold our hot water pipe to our kitchen sink froze during the day, Wed 2/04/09 After we left for school. Betty called me after she got home at 2:30 pm and noticed that the kitchen hot water was frozen, I had only used it at 7 am that morning. (Drat Another home repair)

She told me all about it, and I bought a torch on the way home to thaw it out.
( I know, I can hear Ex-Fire Chief Jerry wincing right now as he reads this, about using a propane torch).

When I got home it was still frozen, but Betty had opened up the sink,
pulled my access panel, and had duct taped a blow dryer, so it blew warm air down on the pipes, neat idea but the pipes were still frozen at 6:30pm. (Not a single drip)

I asked Betty how long before dinner and looked for my cold winter gear, she told me just
a few minutes and I had better sit down and eat first. So I sat down to a great supper,
listening to that blow dryer running the whole time.

After supper I started to get ready (Dreading my upcoming task fully),

and Betty said “hold on, let me check and see if it worked... “

To be honest I had no hope for her method, she turned the tap and it dripped. (once)

Hey it dripped, so I came over in my snowmobile suit and propane torch and looked... (twice?)

It dripped five more times, Well it could be just cold water from the cold water side,
So I shut off the cold side...(tight)

It still trickled... All eyes were glued to the faucet, as the trickle grew , and grew and then gushed.

Woo Hoo! Yeah! Cool! You rock mom! Awesome!

If you were driving down Victor Drive, you could have heard a collective cheer as the whole family
high fived Betty. I said, “ God you are the Coolest woman alive!, You made dinner and
fixed a frozen pipe! ” Betty beamed, and I never had to dig out, the access port on the side
of our house buried in a 36 inch snowdrift, crawl under our house with its 14 inch crawl space,
and wield a propane torch.

I gladly cleaned off the table, put away the dishes, and gave my wife the foot massage she
so richly deserved. As I rubbed her feet, I thought ..”Some days I know, I’m the luckiest man in
Thomas Township, today was one of those days.”


There is no moral to this story, except: The lord helps those who help themselves...

Drip your pipes...
