content: Hi!Nice blog, but written in a strange mix of first and third person - is that Dad doing some of the typing?If you get a hot day, you should make some bottle rockets. The most fun you can have with a hose, a plastic bottle and a strip of insulation tape...a) Get an large plastic soft drink bottle.b) Take the end off a hose.c) about 15 cm down the hose, wrap it with insulation tape till it is a really snug fit in the bottle (i.e. takes a bit of twisting to get it on).d) Jam the bottle onto the hose. Hold the hose at arms length, pointing the bottle skyward. If you are a bit worried, put the hose through an umbrella hole in a garden table.e) Turn on the tap for the hose, and wait in anticipation as the water fills the bottle until it exceeds the grip between the taped hose and the neck of the bottle.Then spend the afternoon trying different things - add fins to stabilise flight, what is the optimum air to water ratio for longest flights? Pratice ballistics, drape a parachute over the top....Enjoy.

content: Or do what I did as a kid- shoot an arrow straight up in the airthenrealize it had to come down (ran like hell)- see what a rock can do to a 22 live cartridge (it can go off)- what happens when you take a blow torch to magnesium (lots of light and smoke)- cherry bombs in tin cans (to be honest - fun)- target practice with a bow and arrow in a trailer park (holes in trailers and kicks in the butt)- match stick guns (get arrested)- hot rod a motorcycle (now handicap)ps I am paying for all this now (ie pain)The OP is playing much smarter.
