A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension. The fact that I am dragging a body should be entirely irrelevant! A simple thank you would have been enough for the morning coffee without all that "how did you get in here" nonsense.

Anybody here ever take a hammer to a whole roll of caps? Its loud for a 10 year old ears!
Next I graduated to emptying powder out of MANY firecrackers and encase them in PVC pipe Louder!
Of course pipe bombs were next! Dangerous but extremely loud!.
My ultimate power trip was having access to dynamite and blasting caps. I shook the countryside with those. That saying that an M80 is equal to one eighth a stick of dynamite has simply not heard or felt dynamite go off.
Finally, I "was" going to progress to ammonium nitrate/diesel fuel . I had the dynamite required to set the ammonium nitrate off. I had read in a duck hunting magazine how to blow your own duck pond with ammonium nitrate. 50 pounds of it is equal to 100 pounds of dynamite.
Dad and I were at the fertilizer plant when I was 12 years old. I quietly asked the salesman if I could buy 50 pounds of ammonium nitrate. "What do you need that for?" .....he suspiciously asked.
I was caught off guard and didn't even think to reply that I needed it to fertilize a garden.
I chickened out. Probably for the better as Dad would have made me fill that hole in with a shovel!

The neighbor kid pounded a roll of caps between 2 rocks .... and yes it was loud .... all the parents came running !!!!
My brother and I had no money raised on a farm in the 1950's , somebody had given us a die cast toy pistol but one of us always had to use a stick as a pretend gun
Then we had the bright idea to put a firecracker in the barrel but it split the gun in two perfect halves along the seams. .... but then we each had half a gun so we were happy
Back in the 1960"s there was a minor derailment in the rail-yard in our small city. An old wooden boxcar had tipped over and a passing locomotive had run into it. Trouble was it was full of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and diesel had leaked all over it from the damaged fuel tank of the locomotive
Nobody thought it was a big deal but an old war veteran kept insisting that if they made a spark it could blow up a whole city block. Not sure how they cleaned it up but they did evacuate the area. Back then I could not comprehend how such a mixture could be explosive ... and maybe that was a good thing !!!!

You unscrew the nose one quarter turn. Then you tear one square off the roll of your paper caps that has one of the explosive dots on it and you put that paper square in between the nose and the fin body and you screw the nose one quarter turn tight. Then you throw it in the air and when it hits the ground it goes bang. I used to play with them when I was about eight years old which would have been around 1970.

And we uses to tape marbles to the bottom of shot gun shells & drop them from R/C airplanes,
I used to shoot marbles out of the first cannon-gun I ever made
5/8 ID cast iron water pipe , hammer an oversize bolt in one end to block it off , cut the red sulfur heads off a couple packages of matches , pack them in the pipe and then put a marble in.
For a fuse I cut a small slit through the pipe with a hacksaw blade (didn't have a drill) , stuck the head of another match in the hole , lit the paper end , then hid behind a tree.
It would take 6-8 seconds before we heard the marble land in the trees or hit my dads steel machine shed , so it probably went up a couple hundred feet.
