Mr. Fixit
We get home from church today and Eli says he has to show me something in the back yard. Out we go. He goes through the garage and comes out with an interesting contraption. A 3' piece of copper pipe, fitted with some sort of trigger machanism, all hooked up to the air compressor. "Watch," Eli says. Shoves the end of the pipe into the ground a couple of inches, lifts it out and fires. The air shoots the dirt about ten feet in the air. John looks at me and says, "This is how mechanics play."

You ever seen a potato launcher? Hilarious! I'll let Pat blog about that one.
Yeah, Terry Sandqist brought his to the first annual Noser Pig Roast. We had a ball with it, shooting the samll pile of logs in the back yard...
My first official blog. Thanks for hooking me up.
Cheers and Happy Mother's Day!
Welcome Tia Maria
I remember that one!! We ran out of potatoes and started a late harvest on the produce in the garden, some waaay past the fresh date! Jeffrey got hold of a cucumber, shot it straight up in the air and it rained cucumber juice on all of us!
That Eli John. I love his low voice, kind spirit, and creative mind. He's his daddy's boy.
Oh man! What about the Water Balloon Slingshot? I am going to get my hands on one of them for the upcoming roast.
Hey, what if we had a potato launcher and a balloon slingshot, and Eli's pipe bomb? Throw in some moving targets and we will have an absolute blast...all to the Glory of God!
Dang, Pat, that sounds like fun!
Even more fun if the moving targets are Jeff Burton and Randy Zimmermann....muuhhuhhhaahaahaa
Dance!! Dance!!
I just got to thinking Kristi. Your blog is now probably being watched by all the gov't security agencies because of "pipe bomb". Sorry.
I second the motion of targeting Burton and Zimmerman. You could make some serious money doing that if you charge per turn .....and all to the glory of God of course! :o)

(I just want the government to really start paying attention to this conversation. It'll give them one more thing to waste their time on.)
It boggles my mind that government agents are wasting MY tax dollars reading my blogs. Why don't I just read them and they can give me the money--that works. Hey, we'll all read them and split the money--even better!
Forget the potato guns...ever seen a potato canon? Ben McMullen and Alex Johnson made one a couple of years ago and brought it to a youth retreat. It was 8+ feet long and could launch potatoes into Nebraska (almost).
Let's give those guys a call for the next JohnFire!
A cannon huh? Could say...a medium sized man fit inside of it? :o)
Say the size of Jeff Burton?
Did I think that out loud?
