Hope you had fun. Happy Birthday.

Oh, man, it was UNREAL.

The weather cooperated for us - we had a bad thunderstorm around 7 PM, but by 9 PM it was fine. I shot off stuff for two hours straight. I did a head count, between the guests for the family BBQ and then neighbors who came, we had 62 people overall. This was the best year ever.

My finale was taking 3 of the nine-shot racks, placing them side-by-side-by-side, and lighting all three at once. I have one of those wind-resistant lighters, so I can light three fuses that were a few feet apart, without having to re-flick the lighter. The boom shook the entire neighborhood.

Of course, the backyard looks like a disaster area right now...debris everywhere...major cleanup effort tomorrow morning.

God Bless America....
