We attended a private party last night, upscale homes on a man made lake. The fireworks were launched directly over our heads. Noisy and smoky with ash falling down on us. I finally left about half way through. My ears were ringing and I don't like breathing toxic fumes from colored incendiaries.

Sounds like a blast! I'll go in your stead next year
 
Sorry....


The bargain tables were 70% off so I said F it and dove in. It looked like Three neighbors were at war. I see your 200 gram 12-shot shot and raise you a 500 gram 26 shot! That's was the tempo for about an hour. 5000 crackers all at once? Pthsssssss..... Watch this show......"

You obviously don't love your country enough. ;)

We were at a well attended party on a beautiful pond. Instead of fireworks the 'burners' in attendance set up a raft with a couple of large propane tanks and hand crafted burner fittings (think hot air balloon sans balloon). The whole thing was remote controlled and allowed people to pass around the remote to create DIY fire displays in step with the party's music.

One could feel the heat from each blast 100 yards aways but the party was even hotter. We stayed awhile :D:D

You forgot to say "hold my beer"
 
Shooting Starts... I guessed right

Nice

Along with some others . . . F-16s, N3N, P51s, T-6s, Stearmans, etc. not a bad little show.
