the day is going slowly so i decided to...
« on: April 01, 2011, 01:47:41 PM »

...go out and have some fun with my top.  I am having so much fun that I cannot seem to stop spinning.  I have now been going for 7 1/2 hours.  That is twice as long as I have ever gone before.  Too bad I don't have any witnesses.  Oh well, I can always top this record one year from today.

Tell me about some of your top spinning today!

I did a "360" in my office chair a moment ago.
Must now rest.

We took the church bus and took a SPIN around the tidal basin and Haines Point in Washington DC.  It is cherry blossom time!

Not so slow a day!

Isn't today the anniversary of Steve Brown announcing that he had gone like 2.5 hours with a Watts top? Seems a great day to break records.

By the way, tonight I will appear in the local TV. I entered a silly talent contest and I am in the finals. I will try to eat 8 hot dogs in 1 minute while Figaro spins on my back. We will be on a stage in front of the Alamo. Wish me luck!

I just finished to design a new regen top. The groove has tooth and a small chain is necesary to play. A bit of oil is needed for a smooth play.

I just saw 4 or 5 new production tops come into existence almost simultaneously!

Wait, that's really happening!  Whoot.

This is the first that I heard Steve Brown spinning a Watts' Top for 2.5 hours.  Even a 4 inch, which is the smallest I make that would be some work out.  I get tired in about 3 minutes.  I must commend Steve. ;D

Congrats to all for this fun April Fools thread.  I think Mr. ta0 wins the prize with the best entry for his hot dog eating while spinning Figaro on his back.  Of course, anyone can eat eight hot dogs in a minute while leaning over and having a giant top digging in your back........but it was fun to imagine Mr. T doing it down in the hot Texas sun.
