A good friend would visit you in Jail.

[Double D]

Haven't been  up to Southpaws for a couple of weeks.  It's been snowing  for almost two weeks, it started the day before my birthday.  We had a screaming blizzard for  Thanksgiving.  Warmed up into the 30's Friday and I dug the sidewalks out.  Yesterday started out nice.  I had a bunch stuff here at the house that I borrowed from or found for Southpaw that  I needed to get to him; ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning a Gahendra, 7/8 S&D drill bit for making a drill jig for golf ball mortar bases, 50 feet of cotton rope for making slow match and a large package of fire crackers.

Loaded the stuff and lovely wife up and  we headed of on the 40 mile drive to open prairie and the  Taft Farm.  Roads were clear and traffic was light.  

Spent the after noon shooting Southpaw's fire cracker cannon and testing various combination of firecrackers, bottle rockets and FFFFG. I hope Southpaw writes up his test result.

We sat down at the kitchen table with the wives for a cup of tea and chocolate chip cookies and then Southpaw and Mrs SP gave me a belated Birthday gift.

The Card read:

A good friend would vist you in jail,
A great friend would bail you out.
A friend like me would be in next cell,
Have a wild (but not too wild) birthday

Then for a gift he gave me a pound  Fg GOEX blackpowder.

What a great gift from a great friend, thanks Ernie.

DD,

     There sure is alot of fun in a pound of that black stuff. In many ways, you and Ernie are living in the Century before last.

I will never forget when one of the 'international' students in our dorm was put in the drunk tank.  He, being from Iran, KNEW that he'd be executed in the morning  .  But, he lived for another day....

while you effect your escape.........
