Yesterday there was Technic Show and Tell.  It was supposed to last 30 minutes.
It lasted 2 hours!  It was great.  There were many people there interested in my
pneumatic creations.  I picked up a number of good ideas from the audience.  The
most significan was that radial engines and compressors designs work best if
there are an odd number of pistons/pumps.

Technic Master Builder Dave ??? was there for quite a while, so I was very
flattered to have him spend so much time there.

SSClagorpion1 has been working well.  Many of the techniques I used to increase
its reliability over predecessors worked well.  The first technique was to
forgoe some of the piston travel length in favor of maximum switch travel.  The
second was to not synchronize leg sweep forward/backwards.

Boy was my brain tired after that show and tell.
