Gatorade in summer with gin or vodka is dangerous for sure! And them darn Arnold Palmers! A few pix to reel us back in. We went to Civil War reenactment today. Man the kit is pricey for that hobby. Had a blast but it is renewing my interest in a forge for the shop.

A few weeks ago I chaperoned a field trip to a civil war muster

It concluded with a few volleys of the muzzle loaders

I just so happened to see a few of the kids pick up some unopened black powder cartridges that fell during the presentation

I mentioned it to the teacher and she wasn't too worried about it

So I explained to her what black powder is, it was funny to see her face drop as the realization sat in that I just told her some of her kids had packets of gunpowder in thier pockets
