 the summer. We launched some hefty potatoes today about 400 feet, maybe 50

 reload and fire when ready! Big production, better than fireworks

Bruce, did you make a picture of it.  Joseph made a thing that looks more 
like a cannon than anything but he got side tracked with decorating it with 
Mr. Potato Head designs.

I would love to have a few days of nothing to do.  My kids have so many 
activities going that I worry that they will wear out.  We are right in the 
middle of summer swim and the boyscouts leave tomorrow for a week at Crooked 
Creek near Louisville, Ky.  Then we have piano and gymnastics and probably a 
couple of things that I have forgotten.  

Oh and there is also fishing, don't know why but both of them love to fish.  
Luckily we have friends who will take both of them along so I don't have to 
pretend that I like to fish.  I just try not to look too muddy when I have to 
make an appearance at a swim meet or at boyscouts.

I am having a bit of fun with making a couple of crosses and have a Sun Power 
that put out a yellow and white striped leaf and now is forming a striped 
bud, did the Van Wade thing and removed all the plain leaves.  Letting a bit 
of my sadistic side out by carving on a few crowns to see how many plants I 
can get and am looking forward to trying that bud isolation thing.  Hope I 
get time because that will be about the time school starts and it will be 
back to work.

Well, I got a little windy, hope you don't mind.  N.
