I I use #11 percussion caps on my Sharpe's Big Fifty.

The original four-leg drive, horses go where Jeeps can't.

Good times. I shot plastic toy soldiers with mine. Blew em up with crackers too. Copperhead BBs were the easiest to find in the dirt and reuse.

Here is my first rocket, an Alpha from 1973 that came in the very cool cardboard Estes Range Box for $9.99, a princely sum for a nine year old to accumulate. The nosecone has grass stains on it and the tube is shortened due to an unfortunate lawn dart experience that occured because I ran out of...

I like those wheels! I had a C.B. radio too.

Me with my 1972 Vega. I painted "Lynyrd Skynyrd" on the Confederate flag.

Thank you Fuddrucker.

Well heck. When I was a kid I looked at my A8-3 motors and said "These would make great bottle rockets." So, I taped the motor to one of my mother's green tomato stakes, stuck cannon fuse (purchased by me at the local hobby store) in the nozzle, and put it in a 16 oz Coca-Cola bottle and lit...

Perhaps humans from our future are time-travelling to do historical research on us?

Yep. We have two TV remote controls in the living room. That way one of us can hit the mute button lightning fast. No more commercials that begin with sirens, telephones ringing, doorbells, crying babies, spilled drinks, stupid themes, or someone screaming. All gone! If commercials were...

I thought you were referring to Gary Larson as well.

CNN just said there is a backlog of 15 million U.S. tax refunds due to staffing and printer problems.

I launched three different Red Barons from Squirrel Works today in 6-7 mph winds on A8-3s. They went straight up about 300 feet, flew great, and were a real crowd pleaser. When I say they flew great I mean, after the motor ejected, they twisted and turned in crazy whorls and twirls while...
