It’s not enough to be allowed to launch small bottle rockets using a bottle. Andrew and friends felt the need to scavenge a local construction site for scrap pvc pipe so they could make this super duper bottle rocket launcher complete with sight. I think the paint is an attempt at camouflage, but seeing as we have no zebras or zebra habitats in the vicinity, I’m not sure it’s going to be effective. He is normally not allowed to launch the rockets anywhere but upward, but for the sake of getting a “cool” picture, I let him launch them at our landscape hill. I’ll be glad when the fireworks are gone, because they make me nervous - for obvious reasons.
My brother-in-law and nephew launch potatoes from theirs. It gives a whole new dimension to the word "spuds". You have some nice powder action going on there- good thing it wasn't pointed at you!
ummm.... wow! I grew up with girls, so boys frighten me in general. I can't help but to laugh that one of the tags on this photo is "idiot". : ) Seems appropriate, but I know mine will be right there too, someday....
@bobfoto I was hoping to send the monstrosity into retirement immediately following Independence Day, but I’m afraid he will get other ideas if he reads these posts!
@erikadee I only had brothers so this kind of thing doesn’t faze me, except for the mom factor of not wanting him to get hurt. Okay, if I’m being honest I don’t want to be liable for burning down the neighbor’s house, either. I wondered if anyone would notice the tag!
