50 years ago i stole a blasting cap, a 1/4 stick dinomite, and put it
in a gallon can of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and diesel. The blast
should've killed me.

We did a 55 gal barrel with just a couple of drops of gas, and some oxygen
piped in. We ran a wire from the car's spark. It blew out windows in the
neighborhood, and brought the cops and FD. Our hearing was gone for a
couple of days.

All we could say to the cops was whaaaat????
