Lou, are you running ideas thru your head for your ultimate cockpit build in the basement?

I'm thinking start with a good chair.
I might dig an old wicker/caned chair out of the attic.
I know you collect period items. A period gauge/instrument would be nice...just thoughts flying through my head.

Vice President Olham, Vice President Dej, what say either or both of you?
Members of questionable standing, what say any or all of you?
Is this man barmy enough?
Well, Lou,after this question you spent most of the time talking about "banjos". Even "duelling banjos"! That should be barmy enough, even without any WOFF in it. So let's make him a member, and let's hope he knows the other word with "b": "Binge"! I hope you have taken enough money off your bank account for one, Banjoman?!

Anyone who wears two sweaters gets the ok from me!
Mudwasp,if it concerns black powder, I have set it off. Rifles, smooth bores, pistols, cannons, cohorn mortars, and a few home made things back when you could do such things without getting a call from a government agency.

Two sweaters - too true, MFair.
MudWasp, I've been on the hunt for just the right old wicker chair for my 'cockpit'. Still hunting, but then that is half the fun.
Olham, I agree, the previous diversion does indicate barmyness to be sure. And then of course there is the mere fact that he wants to be a member of our group. So be it.
Banjoman, welcome to the Barmy OFFers Club! A tab has been started at the bar on your behalf and we're already making use of it. Drinks on the Banjoman - BWOC BWOC BWOC! As soon as Robert gets here with the cricket bat the ceremonial beating can begin.

MFair, do you have a cannon?
I get a kick out of having fun on the 4th of July. Don't have a proper historical type cannon, justy hillbilly rig something for fun. I love that old green fuse that burns underwater....love hate with the beavers...

....speaking of beavers...I understand why the club house no longer has a "no gurls alowd sign". You have a very fine wife.... Something from boyhood and a first club....from old "Our Gang"... [video:myspace] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJlaK1kkFX0[/video]

Hahaha, I'm finally home. I love listening to Earl Scruggs and Steve Martin play the banjo. In case you didn't know this, but Earl Scruggs wrote Foggy Mountain Breakdown.

I get a kick out of having fun on the 4th of July. Don't have a proper historical type cannon, justy hillbilly rig something for fun. I love that old green fuse that burns underwater....love hate with the beavers... I used to have a Naval 2 pounder. That is until the sheriff drove up and told me he had reports of someone "shooting off heavy artillery". I told him that it was not me because my cannon was only a 2 pounder. He was not amused. While it was not illegal I quit so that I would not piss off whoever it was I had upset. Mind you this is way out in the country. Sold it to a fellow that does pyrotechnic shows. A friend that passed away a few years back had 9 Rev. War cannons and mortars. Not originals. Don't know what happened to his collection, but we really drew a crowd at the range.

I've flown under the radar for police/sheriffs.... for my hillbilly antics, or beaver control hijinks.
Love to be at the front porch of your watering hole on the 4thh..... can't make it happen tho....
Sad what happens to originals...go collect dust....they often do.
Long live the rebel in ya, Mark!

MFair, you live in Mississippi, I'm surprised you had problems with your small cannon. I guess times have changes and not for the better.

MFair, you live in Mississippi, I'm surprised you had problems with your small cannon. I guess times have changes and not for the better. That was 28 years ago. It does make a pretty loud boom to chunk a 2 lb. ball. We made our ammo from Campbell's soup cans. Filled them with quick crete. Whala, instant projectile. At a living history event on a big lake in Tennessee years ago we asked the Ranger where we could shoot the cannon. No projectiles mind you. He said, "out over the lake". When we asked about the bass boats he said, "Oh!, you better lead them pretty good!" We all had a good laugh. It was a much simpler time. Man I miss it.

I'll take..... a hard apple cider.... I like the fizz ME too! Dang, I missed all the fun. Now a guy that can pick a banjo well... Still, you guys are too easy. I wanted a pic of him flying with a towel draped over his head and monitor! Lou, I see you found the cricket bat! MFair, wish we could still have a blast at your place. I settle for "works bombs" now and then... he that hath ears to hear... WELCOME, Banjoman! Glad I could be a small part of it!
