Ran across the greatest yard sale ever. Picked up a new-in-box air purifier for $15, a nice rice cooker in the same condition for $10, and they threw in this little gal for free as a bonus.

Oh poo poo! Yeah, so we test fired it and were able to throw a shuttlecock about 20'. Our basket (small planter duct taped to the end of the rod) is not working great but we are def looking at other options. I'll get a little vid put together tonight so youse guys can get a look. Thinking some ammo with a bit more heft will help a lot.

20' with a ballistic projectile that is almost pure air resistance is pretty drat good lol

I used to make model rockets with my rocket scientist dad, it was a good time. NM is not a great environment for launching model rockets these dry-rear end days, though :(

It generates a lot of force. Like, too much. Like bending the steel rod used as the arm much.

I used to hate the hostas that line one side of our driveway (previous owner had planted them who knows how long ago) but then I started actually weeding them and making it look nice and now I love them.
