Survived 4th of July
To all my buddies out there who knew I had $500 of munitions for the fourth, I have survived. BTW, mortars ROCK! and huge 4000strip firecracker belts kick ass. Yeah the cops stopped by 3X but I just kept hiding all my shit under a tarp. Next year I'm going to a show somewhere, lighting off fireworks is hard work!

I had this 99 Shot cake that was the size of a Gas Grill. I put this fucker in the most open area of my back yard and lit it up. Five minutes later it was done. Holy shit! It looked like a goddamm war was going on. The thing had explosions like M-80's about 99 times about 75 feet up in the air. We were all deaf for about five minutes. Worst part was the smoke. OMFG, the police drove by and he had to put his high beams on. Cars were driving by with the fog lights on and it looked like the house was on fire. I love the fourth if you can't tell. The whole neighborhood was out, lights on, dogs barking, it was a little too much. Paper and cardboard shells were raining down all over LOL.

Fireworks are illegal here, but I'm sure that's not stopping some people. I remember years ago in Texas, for the 4th of July, I use to shoot tracer rounds (reds and oranges) from my M1 Carbine into the air to land in a large open area. This was within the city limits and the cops never said a thing.

This is the first time I've lived where it's legal to shot fireworks. I swear it sounds like WWIII out there. On my way to watch the city's fireworks display I passed an apartment complex that had caught on fire. It looked like there were at least four trucks working on it. People just need to be a little more careful when they're having their fun.

Damn, my 4th of July kinda suck, last year it was all that. Today, we just settle for some bottle rockets, blackcats firecrackers, and weak ass fountains. My uncle's neighbor really put some show tonight cool shit...

I put on a little fireworks show yesterday and the day before. Nothing too spectacular. Just the usual stuff you can pick up on the side of the road in CA. Piccolo Petes, Flowers, fountains, sparklers, etc.
It was fun even though no one died! :p
