Last time I was in Vegas, I bought a crap load from lady finger firecrackers to mortars. Done this since my little guys were born. FU to another right being stripped here by the tards here who can't even balance a budget.
Yesterday, one hundred acres burned in Irvine Park, about 7 miles from my home and a mile from where our horses are stabled. The cause: fireworks.

If you believe that the laws in California are too restrictive, please leave California, and take like-minded people with you.

News f_cken flash, they had fireworks in the sixties and seventies till they went all, it's too dangerous.
And people used to clean carburetors with carbon tetrachloride and their bare hands.

So pissed I didn't get any videos of my display last night. Was really insane!! Fused a massive finale together. Was like day out. Lit like 3 grand in fireworks last night. Only got some pictures I am waiting on though unfortunately. Totally forgot to get someone to record it. Good times and no injuries is a plus!

It's like saying you rather watch someone drag or auto-x than doing it yourself.

Yeah. My neighbors were saying my show was better than the towns though so can't be that much "pussy ass" fireworks...
Went back and bought lots more so had close to double what I had in those pictures too.

Our haul:


Some video:
The finale starts at ~4:05. Unfortunately, our cameraman wasn't an expert. Needed to zoom out (or use a wide-angle lens)... and don't turn the camera on its side.
