Got a group of folks bout 100 yards from the house as the crow flies. They’re blowing through their industrial-strength firework supply tonight…window open, so getting a free fireworks show.

All of them appear to be pretty well snockered, because every time one of the fireworks explodes, it sounds like about 10 Rick Flairs over there.

Somebody’ll probably be going to the ER tonight.

Reminds me of a George Strait tune, ‘cept different….

Missin’ fingers by mornin’,
Right thumb’s all alone…

Ping @Les White industrial strength? You've been been challenged.

I was at the Verizon store today and the salesman asked about going to a fireworks display. I showed him a picture of a 6” mortar going off. I said, see that little red dot that’s me, his answer was ‘Holy S….”. :D

We used to put the dogs in a bedroom and turn the TV on loud.
 
It has been amazingly quiet here, but I put a blanket under the desk and the furbaby has been curled up on my feet since hearing a couple of distant booms.
 
My BIL in SC (who has since passed) and I used to put on a hell of a fireworks show on his cul-de-sac which consisted of a about of dozen 30-40 year old mobile homes, this was back when you could still purchase most of the good stuff in the early to mid 90s.

We’d get pretty well plastered and the 2 of us would spend a great deal of money trying to “one up” each other for a 2-3 hours, we were straight up master level rednecks, but other than a few close calls, we didn’t mame ourselves or anyone else (that I’m aware of).

I never thought much about those days until my nieces & nephews who are in the 30s now were sitting around discussing the good old days and talked about how much they enjoyed the shows and started reminiscing about specific things they remembered from those days, towards the end the events devolved into burnout contests and trips to the ER for alcohol poisonings with the neighbors, good times!

On a side note, our pup Sasha wasn’t the least bit bothered by the fireworks last night, we got in late (for us anyways) and took her out for her evening walk around 11 pm and other than a couple of large mortars going off a couple of streets over, she completely ignored the noise, our last two pups were basket cases as soon as the celebrations started up.
 
My favorite part is where I read all kinds of postings from various Karens b*tching about the noise and how poor Fifi is sooo terrorized.

I wish them all a nice, piping hot cuppa STFU with a side order of STFU and a huge dessert of STFU, all washed down with a tall glass of iced STFU.

thank goodness for the recent rains.

woods surround us and there have been some small fires
ignited by fireworks, usually down a dead-end road about
a 1/4 mile from our house. only one was ever "called in"
that we know about. that one got 2 acres.
 
rolled over from sleep and was awake for 'another' blast of fireworks... then had to pee... which prompted me to look at clock.. 2:30 am.......... that was either early or late, depending on prospective....
i went back to sleep...after the pee
