Re: [meteorite-list] Stange Happenings in the Shop

[Adam Hupe]

Sure, we will even throw in pieces of the asphalt that washed away as we hosed down the driveway.  No kidding, this is some really nasty stuff.  We relocated the rest of the bottle of "magic cleaning potion" at least 200 feet away from the house behind a boulder.  Now we have to decide what to do with it in the morning.   All the best,   Adam     ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 9:54 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Stange Happenings in the Shop In a message dated 11/7/2003 10:31:38 PM Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The bucket started to bubble (or boil, we are not sure) and a noxious brown cloud that smelt like rotten eggs permeated our shop gagging everybody present.  We were tempted to call a hazmat team but decided to deal with the problem ourselves.  We didn't have gas masks so we had to reenter the shop with wet towels over our faces, put the bucket outside and open the windows.  Once we felt it was safe to go near the bucket we dumped out the contents on the driveway and hosed everything down.  What we found was that this stuff not only removed the calcite but also etched the meteorites from the outside and ate a large hole in the driveway. Now I don't feel quite so wussy for asking advice on how best to dispose of some nitric a couple of weeks ago.....;-) Gregory Will you give the high-bidder the bucket (what's left of it) or a picture of the driveway as a souvenir???? I am sorry, but I had a good laugh on this one. Anne M. Black www. IMPACTIKA.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] IMCA  #2356
