Well if he bolts two 16" tubes together he should be able to get past the atmosphere
and then it's just a matter of math........ the issue I see is the golf ball bore or smaller rule........



Perhaps a depleted uranium golf-ball in a 16" sabot?

By-George! I think you found the combination...... the sabot should be made out of an amalgam of mercury for added weight .....

With my luck the balloon would probably be shot down by some cannnoneer over Denver, CO.

Here they are:

Cat,
I'm sure that this won't come as a shock to anybody, but I am now thoroughly confused. "Here they are:" Yes they certainly are there; aren't they? Are those your medals? Are those the medals that are going to be given as awards/prizes at the shoot? Are those originals that will be copied and presented at the shoot? Are we living on a small blue planet that is hurtling through space?

FYI: EX49er asked for a medal on a ribbon with cannons so I had this one made at the trophy store. Now all he has to do is show-up and win it 8)

So members of the "Craft" actually do know magic, the medal to the uninitiated like myself, appears to be invisible.

With all this talk about balloons, it time for a report. This afternoon i picked up an 8 foot long barrel, which will be perfect for a sabot/golfball combo. It feels great to tinker in my little shop, glad i have 4 months till the shoot. Don't worry, i ain't built a bad gun yet :o

You're giving the rest of us Polacks a bad rep'. :-[   Try to keep up with us. ::)  The ribboned medal in question was designed by me at the trophy store from stock parts and I sent it to CAT, along with a pin of a pair of crossed cannons. I did this free of charge. I suggested that they be awarded at the rendezvous for whatever he decided to award them for.  Toy yest dobra. Tock?  Read replies 21 & 24.  :-\

I know I am going to pay for this. I can feel him thinking now. Go easy on me John. I'm a frail old man. :P

Moob J huh, excuse me while I transcribe that bit of esoteric cleverness to my diary lest it get lost to posterity. Frail old man my a__, more like mean old man. I'll prove you wrong Rich, I'm going to give you a pass on your nasty post, and the reasons for doing so are threefold: 1. I'm genuinely fond of you. 2. You may be on some heavy duty meds to relieve your back pain. 3. And most importantly; you are in the possesion of some fine lumber, (if I recall correctly, Teak, Cherry, and even some Rock Maple that might be left over from your project) that when you finally experience an epiphanous awakening that informs you of how truly fond you really are of me, you are going to want to present to me gratis. ::)

Glad to see understanding was achieved peacefully.

I'll try to be less cryptic next time.   Maybe.

Well, Rich, that's not bad. I thought you might come back and respond with something like, 'I'd sooner see that wood burn, than give it to a whelp like you'! :o

Well a couple of days ago I had said I would post a photo of a patch I had designed,

I finally remembered to bring it home from work.....

Tim,
Don't worry; my carriage building wood is safe but since we stopped raising polled Herfords, we have been burning the locust fence posts. We sure have alot of them and they burn better than church yard moss. We heat mostly with wood.  It's snowing hard right now and we had sleet and freezing rain all day. The stove in the living room feels great.

Set your clocks ahead.

Tim,
You are a Moderator, one of your sworn duties must be to stop others from sowing the seeds of discord, not to plant them yourself. :D


That's right Richard, now you just lay back and let the heat from the burning locust warm you up nice and toasty warm, and as you gently drift off to sleep you may perchance happen to dream of how good it would make you feel to more actively cultivate the already beneficent nature of your character. :)

Lance I may have one more sample, if I can find it it's yours, we had a couple of shirts embroidered with these,
unfortunately They are long gone, the one I photographed I had in a frame on my office wall at work.

I'll try and round up some small souvenirs from the area, and hand them out at the shoot.

I like the idea of the final decision being a concensus of those that submitted ideas.  Votes are ok too, but I respect the principle of rewarding those that labor.

We're not yet at a point of making a decision.  Let's let this simmer for a while.
