My brother and I invented a mortar from a pipe shoved in the ground, a lit firecracker dropped down followed by a marble.

We tried to hit big trucks, but never hit anything ... trajectory and all that math was SO far from us.

We gave up when we ran out of marbles.

These days it's star war battles with roman candles and other fellow 60 plus year olds ...

I can relate to that. We had many such a battle with Roman candles. But I was 16 then.
