Maybe next time you can tell her you want her to help you, that it would mean a lot to you if she just helped you even if it is for a small portion of the cannon. Nice bonding time!:D
For you younger fellows out there...Karen here is offering you some free, decoded, insights into the female mind. Many men don't learn this kind of stuff for many years. Take a moment and absorb.

Aw Franklin. Sooo sweet you two work together. Nah jokes mates. But seriously good work Karen. Keep it up and keep up with the shoe shots. Most guys on here (most likely JSR :P ) have feet fetishes.

Pink? perhaps, not really though, I'm not completely sure what I want to do with this one any more. One thing is for sure, I really really dig combustion cannons:D more of these for me in the future no doubt.

Make sure you remind frank that your a keeper. You cant go wrong with a girl that likes to blow stuff up.

It seems to me Frank is fully confident and capable of keeping his woman...one reason he already has a high valued one.

I tried to make sense of that. I re-read it several times. I translated about half of it and gave up.

Careful with that ignitor in the endcap. Although it makes the cannon look nice and clean, it also creates a prime opportunity for accidental firings since it is somewhat natural to set a gun down on the back end. Especially for someone who decides to troubleshoot the gun by looking down the barrel.
