Long day...

Woke up this morning to a woodpecker drumming on the cabin. Got to work quickly and finally finished sheathing the roof.


Back is all ready for the metal roofong. Note the nifty rope used to pull the 4x8 sheets to the top. (also used to hang on to when running around on the slippery roof!)


My temporary quarters for the past few months. Brought it back from a campground a few months ago and just parked it thinking I would move it later. I just left it there and it has been interesting sleeping on the slant.


Left the property after packing up the pop-up and headed to the CrackerJacks Fireworks Club shoot. The club got a free organ and it was set up in the field. Note the special "pipes" in the background!


This is the third year this Pumpkin Chucking maching has been there. After running out of pumpkins...Watermelons, footballs, and pretty much anything round was shot out of this gun. When shooting an 8" pumpkin, this thing can toss it well over 1200 ft and into the woods downrange.



After some warm up shows, the organist was seated and a totally awesome show set to music (Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor") I think there were about five 16 inch shells and many wonderful 8", 10", and 12" shells. The following pictures are just a few of the many shells shot. The organist was quite a trooper sitting so close to all the action and he didn't miss a beat. It was one of the best displays I have ever seen at a CrackersJacks shoot. The pictures don't do it justice... you had to be there!!







A friend that came as a guest took the following pictures located at HERE






(Can't get this to post properly...it is sideways)

(Note: The moon shows in some of these pictures)













Finally arrived home (still towing the trailer at about 12:30 am Sunday.... It's been a very long day...
