I'm not. I still don't like IE 9 even if I do feel bad for her. Someone made a tumblr for her.

Day 7 + 8
I didn't get anything done either day.
Day 7 I spent on a side project making a gift for my father.
Day 8 I was not feeling well and after the Coast Guard event I went to sleep.

Day 9
I got a bit done today, but I had to undo it then redo it so I lost lots of time.
After purchasing the last bits of PVC, I bought the wood I will use for the interior structure of the cannon. I cemented together most of the rest of PVC leaving only a few more pipes to cut and cement. I cut out the face of the cannon (that piece on the very front) so that I could finish up the air system (the air ducts for the "smoke" exit though the face). However, I realized that I wouldn't be able to get the things placed correctly until I attached the air system to a frame. The wood pieces decided to not cooperate in being attached to each other so that took a very long time. My drill bit also decided it didn't like being a drill bit and refused to go through the wood. I was eventually able to put everything together and have the system attached by clamps/braces to the frame. Once I put the tube on and the face I noticed that the air tank would stick out the bottom. After fiddling around trying to get some of the wood out without unscrewing everything, I gave up and unscrewed everything. I removed 3/4 of an inch from the forward vertical supports so that the air tank would angle upwards. I re-screwed everything back together and it seems to fit fine. I then tested it (wearing safety glasses) to make sure it wouldn't explode with it being bent about 10 degrees. It worked fine so everything is good for tomorrow.
I'm sorry I have no picture today but I don't feel like pulling my stuff out there to photograph it and the area is enough a mess to send Twilight into a coma.
