When all you have is a hammer...

I built a CO2 powered dragster in shop class. I didn't have any CO2 cartridges at home but a rocket motor fit right in. It was much faster until it hit the fence.

I'm not posting anything about the crazy rocket stuff I did as a teenager until I check on the statute of limitations for a few things.

I wonder what your attorney will tell you  My understanding of the statute of limitations is that it runs from the discovery of a crime, not the occurrence of the crime.  May vary from Principality to Principality among the 50 Principalities of the U.S.

I did some things as a dumb teen that were both spectacularly impressive and spectacularly dangerous. Like "instantly lethal to anyone close by" dangerous. Oh, and illegal as hell, too. Fortunately for everyone else I had enough sense to do it way out in the country without anyone around. Made it through with all body parts intact and a realization of just how massively stupid it was.

^ Understood.  We in Noo Yawk City did not have a "way out in the country," but we did have Cunningham Park, which at the time was just wooded area with a single road through it.

Lord only knows what mischief and making-out occured in that place before it was made more beautifui with its groomed lawns, paved walkways, painted-line parking, pretty trash barrels every thirty feet, rest rooms, and water fountains.

I know somewhat about the total mischief and making-out  before then.  A lot of it was noisy and smoky. But I am heeding my lawyer's advice.
