cutting the heads off of a shit-ton of strike anywhere matches and putting them in a pop bottle and dropping a match in

Hacksaw the end off a spent co2 cartridge and load them match heads in there. **Pack it too tight it might explode** . I would finish it off with a little rip of duct tape wedged in between the last match heads as a fuse
Makes a straight up missile. That will fuck up cinder block wall don’t ask how I know.

A length of galvy pipe through a hole in a piece of plywood to protect your head. Was my favorite way to launch them things. Good times.

Masking tape works well as a delayed fuse.

We used to fill balloons with oxy acetylene, wrap them in newspaper (the fuse), light the newspaper and run. One time the flames licked the balloon sooner than expected and rapid expansion of gas seemed to lift me off the ground - ears rang for a while too. Zero stars, do not recommend.

My brother felt wrongfully accused of cheating on a shop exam so he took the teacher's keys and melted them together into a blob with a torch.

Dude i’m gonna have the best slip n slide for next summer so i can show off to the grandaughters. The grasshoppers didn’t show up so that means i got about 7 years of a lawn, at least. I dont think a regular cycle will kill an established lawn. This last one was bad everywhere around here. Gonna make a lawn this fall. The landing zone will be the lawn

YAY! The dragonflies have appeared in sufficient quantity to eat some of the mosquito population.

Sadly, the American chestnut tree that was nearing 25 years years old and produced nearly 25 gallons of nuts with husk on two years ago has succumbed to something, causing its death. Only 15 seeds were viable, but none of them sprouted - all rotting in the ground last year.



The adjacent northern red oak seems OK for the most part but too is showing signs of something wrong.
