The Cannon is coming soon! Keep listening....

I know its been quite some time since I posted on this blog.

I've been busy!

I thought I'd do the Spring time run down of all the crap I've managed to get accomplished, however that's just going to have to wait.

I've been working on a cannon.  That's right a 23 inch, 40 pound, brass cannon (I was told its bronze, but it sure shines like brass!)  Any how, I'm days away from firing the darn thing.  I've been doing my homework.

Legal stuff... Check
Safety stuff... Check
Muzzle Loader Black powder... Check
Bore safety equipment... Check
Slow burning fuse... Check
Pre-measured loads... Check
Nice quiet, yet safe place to shoot... Check
Video cameras... Check
Find an amateur pyrotechnical expert in my local area... Check
Gather up my balls enough to shoot... Almost...

I'm meeting with the expert tomorrow to line the shoot up.  Man I'm psyched!

Stay tuned!  Story, pictures, and video to follow very shortly!

Campy Out!

Campy, you maniac! I'm hoping you're using a twenty-foot fuse and that you plan to run like hell the whole time it's burning.

Can't wait to see the video - Check!
