Okay its good to go.
March 20th is Ring in the Spring day this year.
Get out your cannons and thunder mugs, even your firecracker cannons. Knock of the cobwebs, scrape off the rust, dab on a little paint.
We have been locked up all winter, time to get out of the house. There is an ancient traditional internet legend that in the days of old, on the first day of spring the old timers would get out and fire off their thunder mugs, cannons, and what ever made a loud boom to chase away the winter. This loud noise would trigger avalanches, knock snow of trees, break off dangerous icicles and and bust up ice jams in the river, starting the spring thaw.
So, who are we to break with tradition.
Saturday March 20 plan on firing a shot to ring in the spring at following time in your time zone
4 PM Eastern
3 PM Central
2 PM Mountain
1 PM Pacific
Live fire, blanks fire, fire cracker fire or stand the front porch by your cement cannon and yell "BOOM" . Make sure you take pictures, video are great, stills just fine, and post them up here!
Just remember guns on firing line are given the command to "FIRE!" Coal miners use fire in the hole.
