Daily Giz Wiz 895: StarCase Lock Deicer

Little can be found on the web of the StarCase Lock De-Icer now.  hwrountrees.com still has a listing of an out-of-stock StarCase model.  On Amazon, you can still find both the "heated pick"-style de-icers (including some which look remarkably similar to the StarCase model) and "aerosol"-style de-icers.

Dick makes light of Roz Savage's voyage across the Pacific.  So she rows through the Pacific in the warmth of the tropics, but has she tried the savage winter on the Hudson?

While Leo is having issues with the TWiT trademark, listener John R Henry CPP has been busy patenting his own invention, which serves the purpose similar to that of the Shake-It-Up Milk Bottle (Episode 835).  His idea is a container with 2 chambers keeping 2 types of ingredients separate, but with a mechanism for mixing them only when you want to do so.  Cereals and milk is one application.  You can check out his patent filings here and there.

The first time John R Henry had his letter read out on the show was Episode 439.  Dick and Leo had fun guessing what CPP stood for.  This time around, they had more fun guessing what CPP stands for.  The answer can be found in Episode 490 - Certified Packaging Professional.
