If MIKE sees something he is interested in, let me know. I'll mail it to you on me.

WTF Mike! Going to miss ya.
Very nice of you moto. Myself and a few others would be happy to bring it back to him as we r pretty close also.
Apparently...
Some of my mortars detonate in the same sound/decibel range as breaking glass...
So last night I did a nice little fireworks show for our small family at Moms house. They sat on the back deck some 10 foot off the ground. The show Was maybe 60 yards away and down hill so the perspective was really cool. I'm 3/4 the through and just a couple cakes away from lighting up the big finale when I hear my daughters voice as the "booms" from the last volley did down, "D a d!!! Cops!!!"
Now I'm thinking "you have got to be shittin me"
This is no where near as big a display as we have done over the years and it's even more secluded than in the past.
Now I will admit my first thought was " shit. I have a 2,500 gram finale chain wired together on that trailer ready to light with a single touch of a lighter and it's dark down here. Light it and run... " Nope. Gotta man up" so I walk up to the down hill side of the deck ( still in the shadows) the family is on. Sure shit there are 2 sheriffs cruisers in the driveway with just headlights on. As my ears start to dial in on the conversation, I can make out my Mom's voice ( she's in her upper 80's) telling the deputies " ... no we're all fine. The boys are down by the lake lighting off fireworks. Would you like to stay and watch?"
" Holy shit Mom!!!" I'm thinking your gonna get me taken
To jail!!
" Na. It's the end of my shift. Your fine. Thank you though " he says.
As they walk back to their 2 cars, I come up on the deck to ask WTF???
Apparently, a couple of my aerial mortars going off caused her home security system to think it was breaking glass and the security company, unable to reach her, called it in to the sheriff department as a break-in.
She never herd the call from the security company because of all the fireworks! Lol
As the crushers pulled out, I walked back down and resumed the last of the show.
Cool guys those deputies were. Could have gone south.

My son goes through the same thing every year with his BP cannon. Sheriff is always answering calls looking for a propane tank blowups.
I've got a bunch of OLD camo pants, shirts, facemasks, gloves, etc.. That got a serious case of closet shrinkage over the years.. Would it be worth while to bring it to the cookout for you guys to pick through?
