As the title says...I finally got around to upgrading to the piez triple ignition system on sunday, and got a chamber fan today. Well I got back from getting that and I go to my truck were it usually rests and see that my blessed mother in law had went to home depot and decided to load the bed(where the gun is) with plywood, 2x4's, and insulation. Needless to say it was busted :cry: Im gonna try to salvage as much as I can. Gonna make it bigger and better......

Even worse when it is young.
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

The original Blue Flame's clear chamber cracked on Halloween night. The event inspired me to make a much better one. The Blue Flame II was completed at the end of spring when my parts from Joel arrived.

Maybe it's a sign that you can create better things. This isn't at all to say that it sucked, just that you now have a very good excuse to move on and make something absolutely fantastic.
