| I can hardly wait for the pieces all to get here! Already trying to imagine what to put in the grenade to make it fly apart and disperse something that looks good but is not damaging to the cows and horses out here!!!! | |

| This ought to be good. I'm going to think what you can use, it will be difficult as I am by nature destructive. | |

| In retrospect this will probably sound silly but when I was in 'Nam we used to use rice paddies as targets while practicing with the grenade launcher. | |

| I have plenty of hay bales (big round ones) that I may try to set up around 200 to 250 yards! I also think maybe talcum powder in the grenades or flour! At least I will be able to see where it hits!!! I am getting cranked up over this thing and am really looking forward to getting it going! Pictures after it gets here and I have it mounted!!!!! | |

| Don't get technical with me!! That's above my pay grade level! I don't have clearance for that information just yet!!! Maybe VV can tell you for sure but there has got to be a way to make them disperse some flour, powder or something on impact so you can get the effect!! If not, I think I have enough in the think tank to get it together where we can make it do something without completely self destructing!!! | |

| Only difference between a man and a boy is the price of their toys!!!! No truer words were ever spoken! I am cranked up over this thing now! It just bugs me to know so little about something that is really not all that complicated. I will master it and it will be soon! | |

| I'm running late tonight! Mother in law had a little heart flareup and wifey spent last night with her in the hhospital. I showed up after taking care of office today and just got both of them home and down for the count. All fine just getting old and not taking BP pills as told to!!! Pretty independent old gal!! But strong as heck and as outspoken as they come. Wouldn't change a thing about her. Oh, her mom too!!! LMAO!! they are both fine now and down for the night. I will spend the next three to four days picking up and cleaning up but that's what I am there for!! I'm not going anywhere, UF!!!!! | |

| AO, you take care of yourself. If anything happens to you there won't be anyone to take care of the misses and her mom.

| All good! Just waiting for time to pass and the box to get here from Numrich!! I will have it assembled before the weekend is over if it gets here tomorrow or Saturday!!!! Still have not figured out the part that exits the grenade itself but that will be easy after I see exactly what I have!!! Can't wait. This is worse than waiting on Xmas!!!!! | |

| HEY HEY HEY!!! Not with this thing! I'm still cranked up about doing somethin with it so it will put out a cloud of smoke, a flash of powder or something that will enhance the contact with a target!!! I will come up with something when it gets here. If it is tomorrow, I have to be halfway civil as the mechanic is coming to put a new chain on the drive for the skid steer and put a new relay and ignition switch on the all terrain forklift. Can't scare him off until he gets both pieces of equipment running right! I got more hay to move and a barn to clean out so got to have the skid steer and forklift going! | |
