Riddle me this, Batman.

Turns out 6 beers, a popcorn bowl, two identical mixing bowls, a credit card, a funnel, and a 1/3 cup measuring cup is all that it takes!

Let me guess: you got out the bowls, the funnel and the measuring cup, sat down and had 6 beers, then took the credit card to Gunstop and bought another 8 pounds!

Turns out 6 beers, a popcorn bowl, two identical mixing bowls, a credit card, a funnel, and a 1/3 cup measuring cup a missing Mazda headlamp, a neighbor's wandering dog, 3 empty 1lb powder containers sans labels, and a goat is all that it takes! Two sets of eyes is also nice, and also the lack of too much anal retentiveness makes the whole thing a lot less stressful.

Although I am convinced in my never ending paranoia that Strad walked away with at minimum 37 grains of powder less than I got. Of course he didn't think so. Typical...

Nice doing business with you once again Sir. Hope your dog Hank didn't have the house torn down by the time you got home. Betcha he had a damn sock in his mouth though!

Now lets burn some of that powder this weekend.

There, I fixed it for you. Yes Hank greeted me with a sock in his mouth, good ole sock mouth. And yes, I would love to burn that powder this weekend. I have a 1 lb jug just packed full of powder with a fireworks fuse coming out of a hole in the lid. In addition, I wrapped the whole kit n' kaboodle with 3 rolls of duct tape. Should be a hell of a bang!

Oh, we were supposed to divide powder? I guess building a fort on the kitchen table with the above was more fun. A dab of powder on a bottle cap makes for pretty decent pyrotechnics. Strad was on sound effects. My catapult using the measuring cup with the credit card being my spring handled the bombardment.

Whoa, massive dork episode there. I thought I squashed my imagination with laziness and beer about 7 years ago. Dang it. Still got a ways to go. Who's with me?

Strad, Strad, Strad, hang on a minute. What about the non-existent man behind the camera? Think about his safety! Too soon? (I promise I'll stop doing that in a month or two.)

Yeah the garage often makes side jobs for me, I should have a talk with it. Open that door and the neighbor and his dog Max sometimes stop by for a beer, which is fine by me. Does tend to make the projects take a little longer though. But there is something I really like about beers in the garage, cussing at a foreign made car which is all but impossible to work on. At least I didn't throw the towel in early and grab my ankles while the dealer did it all.
