    Figured you'd like that... also... putting this out there. Plan on 6-7 battles. Bring extra batteries and your charger folks. If your battlewagon does 250 shot.... bring 2000 rounds of ammo.

    Just a reminder.

    Just kidding, I have your other bottle here and am taking it to Banshee to see if it is salvagable. I will let you know. Later, J

    Also before I forget.... there may be a small fee $2.00 per boat for the use of BB cannons in the city limits... but I think from what the clerk told me with that as long as they are being used for the purpose for which they are intended IE-not hunting ducks, small children, etc. Then we might fall under an insurance policy that is in effect. It would mean all participants would sign an agreement and pay $2.00 to use their cannons.

    From what she could figure out as well, the park is virtually deserted once September hit... and the three times we've been there, maybe four people.... so that is good.

    Will recall tommorrow.... I'd like to have everything affirmed before arrival. Will it be 2.00 a cannon or a flat rate per boat? We will see.

    Well... there is a familiar site.... three of the C's made it out to the site today... the rain held off and even with a little wind, the lake was uneffected. Beautiful sailing conditions... water was warm too. Bis and Vally ran at speed, and both turned well. Here we go!!!

    Can you send it to my work e-mail please Craig? My computer is a steaming pool of slag (so it seems) and I don't know when it will be fixed. It is being looked at tonight, I thought it was going to be yesterday but what do I know. jennings.jc@forces.gc.ca

    Craig, the bottle I have here is repaired, just a burst disc. It does have the same issue mine does, age. They are both getting to the point where they may not be all that safe, (according to the guys at Banshee). Also, for those looking for a small bottle for a CA etc. Walmart sells a four oz. bottle. The bottle is good but it would be wise, (again according to the guys at Banshee) to have the valve replaced with one of better quality.

    No problem Jay.... doing that tonight... let me know if you don't get it.... Thanks for the update on the bottle. Appreciate it... yes, it may be time to put in an order.... maybe.... :)

    Hey DJ, Curt and I had Bis and Vally out... There really is not much room for three adults and three ships in a VW Golf! LOL and yes as Chris said, Tirpitz is on the bench, (steering issue) With no transport for a day or two it looks like water shots will be pics from the pool.... :)

    Thanks for the interest. Good to know others are following the progress!
