One is a rocket, one is an antique that has a 2 pound slug over the top of a couple ten gauge shotgun shells. Decided that the 4th of July would be a good time to get rid of them, screwed them to a chunk of 4x4, clamped the whole rig into a portable workbench, set it beside the runway, ran a new paracord from the attach cables to an old T-shirt so that they wouldn't go too far when fired, set up the video camera and pulled the red handles. (s) They didn't fire. Now I have two malfunctioned explosive ordinance devices sitting at the edge of the airstrip, and a wife who is MOST unhappy. I am thinking tomorrow I stick them down into a 5 gallon steel bucket filled with wood and charcoal, out in the middle of a 300 acre field, set it on fire, and stay a long way away from it. But I am open to suggestions. You can laugh if you want to. -------- Richard Pike Kolb MKIII N420P (420ldPoops) Kingsport, TN 3TN0 Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.

Until I was about 30 I would do something that didn't work out, and when asked, responded with "It seemed like a good idea at the time". Then for the next thirty I was at the top of my game. Now I have reverted to - "It seemed like a good idea at the time", once again. I believe I would ask the Sheriff's dept for guidance. They should have a safe place to dispose of them.
