I decided there is a time in every young mans life where a potato cannon is in order. For my son, his 17th birthday seemed like a good enough time as any.

I took him to the hardware store yesterday and we bought all the stuff and last night we assembled the beast. Thankfully I had a whole 5 lb sack of apples which had gone bad and I had not actually taken out yet.

We just tried it out, I put an electronic ignitor in it, so it has a push button trigger. Oh the fun he is having. Even a kid who loves his video games can't help but get a sick joy out of high velocity produce destruction.

It kind of sucks he is in college and his friends are still in high school. He tried to get them to come over and share his joy but they have some school function tonight. I'm going to see if we can get them all out in the desert tomorrow for a picnic and some more produce annihilation. I need to go to the store this evening and see what they have in their markdown produce bin. Otherwise I guess a sack of spuds will be ok to waste.
