That's exactly what I mean!

There are plenty of things I'm interested in, none of which I do!

Kids to chase after and drive all over the place, house to keep up, wife to keep happy, oh, and no money left over at the end of the month for "hobby" expenses.

After some scrounging, I managed to build this. 30 gallon tank, 10' long 3" aluminum barrel. Can launch oranges about 300". $50 in plumbing. Awesome fun.

1 1/2" plumbing is kinda restrictive. If I had a 3" outlet with a butterfly valve, I bet i could hit the moon. It shoots over the trees in the background. 100 psi. Anything more is pointless. I've also shot a baseball through a metal trash can with it.
