then a few of us could get free food/drink and get lost in the crowd.
:cool:
While others might be able to do just that, you sir have given yourself away. (your profile pic) I'm alerting the local authorities to be on the lookout for you. :p

I used to do a show at the dive clubs annual steak/corn roast.
until that one time a 3" mortar fell over, and as I just got it upright, it went off.
nothing like a 3" mortar shooting past your face to make you realize maybe this isn't your game.
I'm cured of the fireworks bug.
if you are still doing it, try this.
recipe:
1 cinder block
duct tape to suit
bread ties or any thin wire to suit
cannon fuse
2-3 dozen assorted whistling/popping roman candles
(edit)bucket of water

duct tape together as many roman candles as will fit in to the cinder block.
wire tie adjoin RC's fuses with the wire.
place in to cinder block.
feed the cannon fuse through the tied fuses.
light fuse.
step back.
oooo and ahhh as they go off.
(edit) douse hots with water after you THINK all of them have fired. they are sneaky little devils
:cool:

Been there. Done that.

Don't forget hearing protection, eye protection, long sleeves (preferable non-flammable material), and good judgement!

Spend it with my husband, and my oldest sister. We lost our middle sister (who was a member of this forum) March 31, so it will be sad to not be with her to!! She was the one who got me into reefing 8 years ago to help me thru a family tragedy. I am so glad she did! I see her everytime I look into my reef tank! We had SO many good times coral shopping!......LOVE you Stacy!!
