Time to start thinking about the 4th of July.
Take a look at this post on making blank loads.
https://www.go2gbo.com/posts/2074556/Basically equal volumes of back powder and flour, loaded in either in a foil cartridge or with wads in small cannons.
Make sure you have ample powder and fuse. If you are low get your order in now. Start pre-making cartridges.
If you still use digital cameras, charge up the batteries and find the SD cards.
Make sure your photo editing software is up to date and you still remember how it functions-same with your video editing software.
Since many of us these day are using smartphones, find some sort of holding or support device for you phone. Your AppleWatch does not have a camera, but you can use the camera remote APP on your watch to remotely activate your Iphone camera.
Find those old forgotten password to your photo share account or if you are videoing, your YouTube account. Remember YouTube doesn't like kids and cannons together.
I myself will get the Lapan out and fire off a salute at High Noon.
