This means WAR!

It's the fourth of July, and it's almost time to try and blow up my friends again. This will be the third or fourth year in a row.

In years past the towboys at the north end of the field put cardboard armor around there golf cart with little peep holes cut out to see through, and larger holes to shoot out of. They get ready and do a "drive by" attacking us at our "base", a huge Ford Econoline.

They come by with their little rockets and think they're having fun until they see a fuse sparkling down into the barrel of a homemade bazooka mortar launcher aimed just in front of their path. Who's laughing NOW!

We made the bazookas out of pvc pipe, tape, paint, and the desire to do stupid stuff. I know it seems dangerous, but we do put a "little" thought into safety.
As you can see in this picture, the side of my launcher blew apart when the round failed to leave the barrel, blowing up in my hands. But, since I had lined the back of the tube with aluminum from a beer can, the blast was directed away from me. See.......Safety!!
Check out the picture below up close and you can see our Econoline under assault.

Well, we have just recieved information that the higher ups around here aren't so keen on the whole war thing. Says it's too dry or something.... Maybe we'll just have a roman candle duel. Light it and then 15 paces. However it goes, I think we'll have a good time. It's nice to sit back and watch fireworks also.
