Have an excellent 4th of July, Colonial Knuckleheads!

I'm going to shoot fireworks and try not to set the world on fire tonight on our little three acres of rural northeast Texas.

Be safe and have a great time, everyone!

I don't set off my own fireworks because I'm a musician and my fingers are insured for millions, possibly even hundreds or even tens of dollars.........or $1.37. lol

I'll be at a family g2g trying not to get hit with any of my wacko cousin's home-made anti-aircraft missiles that they call fireworks.

I should have spent more than $165 on fireworks.

That was FUN!

Boom! Bang! Only "ouched!" once.

I don't "do" self-incrimination.

I will say that some of the fuses on the bigger ones were almost as impressive as the shells. Only lost hair on one finger this year.
