50 caliber cannon!















This is what my bride thinks 'fun' looks like. At the least, this is what she bought me at a gun show so *I* could have fun with it.

She understands that boys need toys to play with.

My first instinctive thought was: 'That's silly, I made one in shop class when I was 15 and lost interest after shooting it a few times.

Now that the itty bitty beastie has sat on the kitchen counter a few days... it's looking more interesting. Maybe if I make a little carriage for it, and maybe if I can keep the cannon balls in the back yard by aiming for the shed, and maybe.....

Silly bugger I am, I admit it. I'll post pictures when we shoot it the first time.

Sigh..... she knows me.
