Thinking back, at this time, i was about 8yrs when i got a hold of a chemistry kit. it was at a garage sale and looked to be old, about 1960's. i don't know what i was mixing together my goal was to make a poison to kill ants. Well, i poured the clear liquid over the ant hill and they all stopped moving. i did it! the war was now over. about 5 minutes later the ants began to wake up from their supposed death and began the march to the front line. at that point i decided that i now had made knock out gas! too cool...
Along with mixing random liquids and powders, i also had a passion to disassemble high tech gadgets.
at
this time i was about 9yrs and the year was 1981 and phones where big,
heavy things with a big round dial on them for dialing in your numbers
(no buttons back then). at first, i really wanted to build a robot(which
at that time was a sci-fi item) but i knew, even at that young age,
that a phone would probably only make a bomb, or something like that,
but i would never know until it took the thing apart! about 2 hours into
it, my parents came home to find me at the kitchen table with the
families telephone in about 200 pieces and big smile on my face. that
smile did not last too long, back then phones were leased out but the
Bell Phone company and this one would cost my dad several hundred
dollars to replace.
