Heh! I did a backyard display tonight with a bunch of effects, but the key
one was a 1000-shot Roman Candle barrage. It's a big job to quickmatch
that many candles so they all ignite, and even more of one to time their
ignition so the display starts 'slow' and grows in intensity. All 100
candles lit, and in proper succession! Yay! I can still 'match' tubes!

I miss the handheld roman candles of old. We used to shoot them out
over the lake, standing on the shore of the base lake on LRAFB when I
was a kid. The water moccasins didn't like the show, so they stayed
well away from us those nights. Kudos on your timing of the show.
Once a pro, always a pro.


It's been four years since I was a lead-shooter on a show. 'Been busy
making machines to make the fireworks, instead of shooting them. Nice to
know it still works.

Congrats.

I stayed home and tried to go to bed early, but the farking dog next
door was going bat**** crazy all night. It took me an hour and
fifteen minutes before there was a lull in the crackers and the dog
shut up long enough for me to get to sleep. Of course, the asshole
neighbors didn't lock their dog up in the house or garage before
leaving for the weekend. I banged on the side of their house for ten
minutes to no avail. Ear plugs helped, but not enough to get to
sleep.


My Golden Retriever would go nuts with fireworks or thunder. ( no
barking, just panting and shaking) I took her to the vet for a
check-up on Wednesday and got some doggie Zanax for her, also picked
up an ace bandage to wrap her with for thunder storms. Never got to
use any of it. She passed away thursday night. Eyes are all watery
just writing this. she was only 9, way too soon to lose her. Vet at
the animal ER thinks it might have been a stroke or brain tumor.

She's not afraid any more.
