I will say I doubt I will attempt making a med ball after your experience, none the less it was quite amusing to read. This is hilarious.

Reminds ME of that proverb by Santayana about the fanatic "who redoubles his efforts after forgetting his aim." I could tell a similar story involving a winch, six railroad boxcars full of alfalfa pellets, a siding, and a tractor at 3:00 in the morning. Only divine intervention prevented an epic disaster.

Great story. There is an article in the Toronto Star or Globe this weekend talking about how teens are dangerous bc they don't realize the implications of making things like home made rockets etc., but that they generally grow out of it by their early 20's Proof again that you are truly younger than your chronological age!
