I still have fireworks from just over 4 years ago when I moving here picking some up in New Mexico not understand firing one off here could be devastating and land my ass in jail for a long time. hahahaha

I'll dig out what I have left and maybe fire a few since we have had rain. I have slowly been firing them off making sure they're contained. I rigged a reverse bottlerocket launcher that holds the rocket in the launcher inverted till it blows up keeping it contained. It's like a little cannon. You can hear the blasts bounce off the mountains in a echo especially at night when it's super quite.  

Shit let me go fire one off... it's 1:06am so the 4th. It is so quite out now, this blast will echo all over. I'll video it. I'll tie three together and light all three. Neighbors a mile a way will hear it.

Had a little trouble getting it all to fin in the hole. I put in only the tip at first then got snagged. Always happens.

We are the farthest one to the left.  The boat on the far right, the big Hatteras, is a resident at this marina.

That sure is a great view there. 

BTW which might explain myself a bit, in 1981 I swam in the Potomac while living on Bowling AFB. Brother threw my turtle in when were fish so I tried to swim after it. No I didn't get my turtle back.

LOL you couldn't pay me to swim in the water in D.C.!  Sorry about your turtle.  How long ago was this?

On July 4th after the fireworks a boat hit an unlit buoy at Ft. Washington and sank.  5 people on board saved by fellow boaters.  Water is about 70 feet deep there.
