Special Projects: the potato cannon


 How many dudes dies it take to change a lightbulb? 

I shall tell you. 

On Saturday, Aaron took the boys and Hyrum to get a lightbuld for the tail light that’s out on Corbin’s car. 

They came home with no lightbulb, but all the supplies to build a potato cannon. 

They made 3 more trips back to Lowe’s. 

They built the cannon. 

They used $30 hairspray from my mom’s house for fuel. 

The cannon shot a potato over our fence and intoț the woods. 


Word got out. More boys came over. 

On Sunday I smoked ribs and jalapeño sausages for family dinner and Ryan and Todd Mains, Kasey, Tiffany, Caleb, and Elder Ammon Johnson and Hyrum Johnston joined us. Corbin was extra funny that night. We had some good times and the potato cannon was used again.  

Elder Johnson had to stand far away to avoid risky behavior. 

Hyrum burned all the knuckles off his fingers. 
Potatoes were launched. 
Aaron is now drafting up modifications…and after Landan White and Riggs Bell came over on Monday for cannon play, he is insisting we do any future potato rocket activity out at Ratsachaks property. This is definitely not Bella Vista POA sanctioned.
