Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 29, 2018

Well, it’s not “October Sky”, but Kevin gave it a good try.

Hee heeee. Good thing those shrubs were there to break his fall.

Another successful experiment! Kevin is so happy under those bushes. Now let’s get the Ballard Street Pulley club to extricate him.

Kids! Don’t try this at home!

At least this experiment wasn’t quite as painful as his last one involving a 2 liter bottle of Coke and a box of Mentos stuffed down his pants.

He had planned on sailing over Ballard City Hall and Engine Repair School. Instead he landed on Mrs. klethopher’s roof.

She thought he came to carry her away to Niagra Falls and it was two weeks before he crawled out the cat door to freedom.

Some people never learn, do they.

Kirin has way too much time on his hands.

He got a good flight out of it…

he simply forgot to calculate the downward vector of the thrust…

along with the starting angle of his trajectory.

Next week… the stars!

Or at least, Ballard Park.

We have lift off. Abort. Abort.

MONKEY!!!

Hellooo!

Oh gosh…. I didn’t see your comment till just now.

No…. you’re not back yet… but I’m sure you will be.

I’m sure it helps if more people write…

Please help get the Monkey back on patrol, and also behind the bar at the Tiki….

best bar and grill and neighborhood gathering spot ever.

And best Sheriff!

Thanks!

And got blown right into my Bun-Cave. Get out of my house, Keven!

Good morning, Sheriff.

Kevin. “Ballard Control…..we have a problem.” Ballard Control “Received….we are working on a solution.” Mrs Nesbith……”Kevin!!! Get out of my hedge!!”

He was going ‘round the curve, doin’ 90 miles an hour, when the chain on his bicycle broke,. He landed in the grass with a sprocket up his posterior, and his " things playing dixie on the spokes…. ♫♪

Proving that Kevin is, among many other things, an asstronot.

Kevin hollered: "Up, Up and Away ! " before lift off. He just didn’t up far enough away.

Kevin turned radical, but failed bomb school.

Deflector shield malfunction.

Almost a clean get away.

Now that Kevin has the thrust part figured out he needs to plan his trajectory a bit better. If the intent was to get up that tree to peek into his neighbors.. window.. Kevin should consider a ladder.

So, Kevin, happy now???

The last in a long line of Werner von Kevins.

Five carbonated sodas isn’t enough, Kevin. Next time, try 7-Up…

and, if I’m not mistaken, a battery.

At least it was a clean launch.

Won’t do that again, will he?
