I have been letting boomer's off all weekend. My neighbors think I am wacked. This year I spent over $450.00 for cracker toys. I love to blow things up. This is a photo of Saturdays bang up. The box is filled with more stuff too just couldn't fit it all on the tailgate. Tuesday will be a fine day. I can't wait.  How was your holiday?

I hope your not blowing up your trophy....   

Be safe around those and shoot some off for us.  

As dry as it is around here, just having that pic could get me in trouble!!!

Be safe...not sorry!

The fireworks are scaring the crap outta my dog, hes pirched on the second floor landing hiding

I gotta tell this story: My wife an I are out for a walk Monday night and we are watchin somebody shooting fireworks off into the sky. (no big deal so far,right) Well, we round the corner of the gas station and notice that the shooter (hldin a beer in 1 hand and a cigarette in the other) is firing these babies off of his 2nd story deck over the top of the gas staion intentionally. I guess he was hoping for a bigger bang.
I let the people in the gas station know this. They were unaware but got all excited and everything!
I hafta assume that they called the Police since we only got a couple of blocks when 2 cars appeared with lights a flashin headed towards the apartment house. (Gotta remember this is a small town)
So please let me re-emphasize to be careful there are alot of Al's out there (Einstein's)who think that drinkin and fireworks should go hand - N- stub .

                       

They are not legal in NYS, so I have to watch others make pretty in the sky.
When I was 14, I liked to blow things up with Cherry Bombs, until one evening there was a knock at the front door. Seems a neighbor wanted to know who blew up their mailbox. Oops.

[QUOTE=cilrah]The fireworks are scaring the crap outta my dog [/QUOTE] No fireworks around my place for the same reason. Prefer to put my $$$ to better uses anyway(like gas for the Vettes!!!).  Mike

When I was young my Grandfather had a beautiful Collie named Penny. Some kids in the neighborhood were throwing firecrackers into his yard and scared Penny, she ran out into the road and was hit and killed by a car. Sorry, not trying to ruin anyones fun just a little story from long ago

For that reason I don't let me 120lb chicken out around the 4th of July.

Love fireworks, in the right hands and that ain't the public.  The Northern Territory is the only part of Oz legally allowed to sell to the public anymore.  Only the rockets and glowing ball types, you need to apply for a licence for bangers.

We had our celebration for something on Saturday last.  We have a lot of Yanks in town for various purposes and they tend to get into the spirit as well seeing as July 4th is usually a couple of days close to this weekend.  To get back to my story, a lot of people have really large palm trees with dry skirts (dead palm fronds) that look nice as the tree grows with the green bit at the top. I hope you get the picture of what I'm talking about.  Well the wife and I were travelling home in our Holden (Aussie version of a station wagon Pontiac GTO.  (Your new GTO is actually a Holden Monaro with new badging)) after shopping and we saw great heaps of smoke coming from the direction of our house.  Getting a bit panicky by this time 'cause we've got two of these huge palms in our front yard, we found that some numbnuts in the next street had been nice and careful geting all the kids safely away from his front yard and set all his rockets etc up and let one rip.  Well he forgot that he too has three of these palms in HIS front hard.  The smoke we saw was from the first one.  It got so hot that the second one went up and then the third.  All the dogs in the neighbourhood were going berserk from the fireworks, cop cars and fire trucks.

Oh did I mention that under these palms he had parked his two SUVs and work truck?  He now has three tall black sticks and some lumps of metal in his front yard.

Just glad it wasn't my place.  Some people?

When the boomin starts 2 of my 5 Yorkys literally start vibrating! One stupid neighbor is always shooting up these big bottle rockets and I'm always finding them in my front yard. Arghhhh!!!
