The Minuteman

    Last weekend was Boomershoot 2009. Best 5 day vacation I've had in a long time. I even grabbed a high def video camera just for it. The next couple days I'm going to slowly start posting stories and I'll post video as I clean it up and edit it. Why must I edit it you ask, the full high-intensity video is a whopping 768 megs. The anvil and failed fire ball are 1.2 gigs. I do have a video of the successful fireball that we did on Thursday.

    Pictures will also be posted slowly but surely as well. I have very limited internet currently. It's on my laundry list of things to do, but at the top is finishing moving.

Here's a pic from the anvil launch.

And here's the fireball from Thursday.

It was 3 seconds of pure awesomeness followed by 20 minutes of firefighting. I wish I had my camera on a tripod and caught the whole episode. In hindsight it was fun I guess, at the time though it was a little scary. We had all forgotten about Joe's post on Sunday.

I saw a post on Joe's blog last night about heading out to the BoomerShoot site for some pumpkin destruction.

I arrived just after one as was asked. Good timing evidently because he was just finishing up the explosives as the wife and I showed up.

We spent the next bit chatting, I met a coworker of Joe's, Kris, and I proceeded to gut and dismember the pumpkins much like Hannibal Lecter would to feed a man his own brains.
