Have a Great 4th everyone
« on: July 04, 2006, 07:54:17 AM »
 I will be going to my sisters Property for a BBQ later today.
I'm leaving my 37mm's at home and taking my bronze cannon and mortar with me. I will be shooting them on her property.
Afterwords we'll go down to the community beach and shoot off fireworks. I'm bringing 92 of the fireworks type mortar rounds, about 50 Roman candles and 75 or so rockets (not the little bottle rockets but bigger ones). That's only about half my stash, gotta save some for next year. Also about 20 smokes in various colors up to 75,000 cu. ft. of orange smoke.
I may not be completely sane, but at least I don't think I have the power to influence the weather.

I second that! Everyone have a Happy & Safe 4th.  :)

If you make it idiot proof, then, someone will make a better idiot.

Actually ., yes it seems pretty good. Definitely money well spent. Really tho I chose this mortar because of the 1" bore., in hopes that I could make a foil pack that could be used in this new mortar or my cannon. A universal load for my 1" bore stuff !!!  I thought it would be easy to make a bunch of pre-loads. Then go have fun.  Anyway I am still working of the right way to do this but I am really happy with this new Desktop Dictator. I love it !!!
