BL trebuchet and a giant pumpkin
« on: September 26, 2015, 10:30:33 pm »
We went to a local pumpkin festival today and the first thing I see is a Black locust Trebuchet made by a boy scout troop.  I didn't get to see it in action.






A girl my wife works with won the biggest pumpkin contest with this 947 lb monster. 

I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
