Well, today is day 60-half way through the blog. I seem to be catching on to what I intended to create. It's all moving forward from here...
I found this list of Misc. Info on a page of Kenny's little black notebook:
Ducks facts
Weight 1.4kg
Top speed 55 km/m 15.28mls
Life span 8years
Size 50cm
Wingspan 82cm
Meteor facts
Weight minimum 8300 kg
Speed average 40km/sec
Meteor momentum 3.32 x 10 to the 3rd power kg mls
Ducks average momentum 21.392 kg mls
15,519,320.5 ducks/ meteor
Naturally, I have no idea why he has this random page of information but when I saw it, it made me think "just like Kenny to have a page like this"--he did like ducks quite a bit. There were a pair of ducks that visited our front lawn every spring for years, when Kenny was young he would chase them; as he got older he would watch-we took pictures about the fourth or fifth year they showed up. I have the pictures somewhere...
Element of the day (day 60)
#75) Re- Rhenium-] metal
Discovered in 1925 by Walter Noddack, Ida Tacke adn Otto Berg, Germany.
Very dense, very rare metal. It has the third highest melting point of all metals. Used in high temperature alloys, especiallly in filaments and flash bulbs for photography. Also in electrical contact points, thermocouples and as a catalyst.
There are no known rhenium minerals. Occurs in molybdenum and beryllium minerals as an impurity. Primarily recovered from copper ores containing molybdenum.
