No really, I&#8217;m not making that up&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>Well Years ago I was THirty and My COusin Rocky and I were visiting a Friend of Rocky&#8217;s. And well there Was Beer involved. Yep just some good friends sitting out on the deck having some cold ones.<\/p>\n<p>Well we lined up a few dead soldiers and we began to reminisce. Somehow the discussion turned to when we made a small M-80 out of duct tape and black powder and blew-up the neighbor&#8217;s mailbox. (Betcha didn&#8217;t know this was a Flashback withing a Flashback) Well the Tales got bigger and the Yarns were spinning and the next thing we knew we were in Rocky&#8217;s Friend&#8217;s Garage.<\/p>\n<p>We got us some PVC and some Rocketry fuses (yep we have Rocketry fuses on hand, we even have the kind that burn underwater) (did I mention that there was beer involved)<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, we put together some &#8220;Homemade Fireworks&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Took it out to the Fence (did I mention we were in town) and set that sucker off.<\/p>\n<p>Welll&#8230;&#8230; We kinda made it too big. (I don&#8217;t know some kind of weird size thing when you get older like visiting your old little league field). I don&#8217;t know how to explain how loud this &#8220;Homemade Fireworks&#8221; was, but it was DAMN LOUD. Actually much louder than that. But the really interesting thing was it kicked dirt up higher than the house.<\/p>\n<p>So there we were standing a safe distance away (about 50 feet or 20 meters) Holding our beers.<\/p>\n<p>The Dirt rained down upon us.<\/p>\n<p>Well when the local Law Enforcement arrived we explained things&#8230; including the reminiscing and the Mailbox and the potato canon (another story) pringle&#8217;s can. Well they laughed hard and we offered them a beer.<br \/>\nBut Rocky&#8217;s Friend&#8217;s Wife, was really pissed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Howdy I thought I would share some stories.
