I'm glad you're doing well, Joe! I don't have a name for your cannon, that should be your honor, but I do think that it's a fine looking rig.

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

Joe,
Not making light of what you have endured but with a handle like smokemjoe and the fact that this is the only thing you are going to make smoke with how about "little smoker"
 
You are one of the fortunante few.... lung cancer is a nasty thing I lost my dad to it after an 8 month fight in 91..... every day you have is precious.... God Bless!

Joe,
Nice work on your cannon. I like the way you made the elevation screw :) . Once you decide on a name will you put the name on the cannon? That would look neat. Here are a few ideas I came up with: "Boom Boom", "L'il Boomer", "L'il Jo", "Thumper", "L'il Thunder".......................
I also think Zulu's suggestion "Free Style" is a goodun'.

Hey Joe congrats on beating it. I was lucky in a very early diagnosis and cannot imagine if it had gone to a stage 4.

As for the naming my suggestion would be the "Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator" you can keep it on the side table next to you with a little figurine of Marvin with a black cat glued to his hand and use it to modulate the space between you and the TV  ;D or between you and anything else you may want a clear view of.  ???

Let us know what name you decide on, and it is a good looking "LIL BOOMER"   :P
