today, my dad yelled up from the basement "Sonia! I want yeh to come take a look at my well engineered package!"
he of course was referring to the packaging he put together to mail my sisters Christmas presents. I didn't have the heart to tell the engineer that the comment was slightly uncomfortable. Nevertheless, he was right. The package was well engineered...as always.
He is an engineer...but an inventor at heart. There have been many interesting devices found on the Malmquist homestead in the past. One of my favorites was a car cooling system that involved a large funnel and tube that you would aim at yourself while driving to cool you down. Functional, yet not very safe.
He was the talk of the graduation party circuit when he came up with a keg-cooling device. We got lots of calls from jealous dad's wanting to rent it for their kids' fete. "You can borrow it, and I'll give yeh da blueprints for it too." So generous.
Hands down, best chas invention would have to be...well, you'll just have to wait for that post. i need to have some sort of leverage with you.
