No advise from me, sorry; however, I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.

I think the contest shoule be for the best all-around cannon. Ingenuity would be a part of it. Make a rubic for scoring, something like this: Ingenuity: 1-10 pts Paint/finish: 1-10 pts Power: 1-10 pts Size: 1-10 pts Overall aesthetics/design: 1-10 pts % of popular vote: 1-50 pts Popular vote would n...

The pool of monies could be sent via mail or transfered through PayPal to one custodian and that person would either cut a check or transfer the pot via PayPal to the winner. Anything else and shipping will take most of the "winnings".

I think it is a great idea to have another contest, depending on what the rules are.... I pledge $20.00 Dates: Month of July? Voting criteria: no existing or already posted cannons, ???, aesthetics, functionality, spec info, damage, originality, presentation, etc. You should write up specific, measu...

Sorry for the delay... http://s277.photobucket.com/albums/kk43/barry_murtaugh/ With all the extra sightseeing, the roundabout way I drove home and stopping to sleep/charge batteries, the trip took a full day (24 hours). No pics of the Golden Gate or a close shot of Alcatraz, they were all fogged in,...

Taxi will be here in 15 minutes to take me to airport... I'd better get crackin'.
Why the taxi? It is the fastest, cheapest way to get there and the parking fees are outrageous.

This is my next project: I am flying out to San Francisco in 9 hours to go pick up a late model bus and drive it back home. The flight is 2 hours, the drive is 10, according to google maps. Here are some pics of the bus: http://web.mac.com/greghawaii/iWeb/Site/VW%20pictures.html I just got a new cam...

So you have a piston valve pulling a gate valve. To many moving parts, by the time the gate valve is all the way open the projectile will have all ready left the barrel. Uneek in design, but not practical. Not so. There is only one moving part, as the gate and piston are connected and move in uniso...

yea the fun factor always makes the cannon. measured propane would be cool. maybe you could hide it away in the handle? lol ... a new concept in cannons: hide the fuel system in a massive handle! That is poetic! Silliness aside: Welcome to the community, dax. You are right on pace, continue to buil...

Girls and younger women in their teens and early 20's don't even know what they want in a man, except that they like the attention you give them...that's it! And to them, it is all about them at that age. That's why you'll never understand them, they typically aren't operating with a full deck unti...

My 7 yr old wants to build a rocket, so we researched that a bit and started making some plans for a single stage, solid fuel rocket. He was disappointed that we were not going to build it this weekend so I showed him some youtube videos... still not satisfied, I made this simple pray-n-spray, my fi...

Good to see you again! I too, took a long absence from the forums; when I came back I just started digging in and looked at things that interested me. There is a lot going on now and as always, they are the most popular threads. Check those out and make your voice heard again. When I started posting...

FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, I breezed through most of the levels on my own, but some of these (4,8,.ogg files,20,31) made me learn some new things about computers. Thanks for the tips on what to do and where to find some of the more interesting answers. It is funny, I use the " ! =****" for lot...

I am in rural ID and am surrounded by farmers, ranchers, dairymen and hobbyists, even buffalo. I am familiar with it all but partake full time in none of it.
Do my kids count as livestock? Do you want their stats?
