He'd cut up an old inter tube for the propulsion. Only he didn't call em slingshots. Last edited by chlinstructor; 03/30/15.

There are not many left here like old Rufus. I miss his generation and the way things were here not too many years ago. I was lucky to have grown up around folks like Rufus.
