I lit one of my thunder mugs in town last Newyears. It echoed all over the place :-D  :-D  :-D Rattled a few windows also. Suprized the cops didn't show up.

I live several blocks from the business district in the residential section of town, the business district is at the bottom of the valley.  So when I shoot off a 'blank' it echoes back and forth between the faces of the hills and then up and down the valley.  One shot I can get away with - especially on the 4th or New Years!

My sons friend lives behind us, he came over to help with the trees,
he said his dad, came off the couch about a foot,
and acused my son and his son of letting off a M80,
(the kids here always have spare fireworks around)

told him it was my new cannon, he told his son to tell me to PLease NOT
blow any holes through his house,

i told him they were, BLANK rounds,  he said cool,

people here realy get into the BANG, on newyears and the fourth,
one of my neighbors buys about 2000.00 worth on the 4th,
it starts on the 2cd,3rd, and goes to the 5th,

so, two days a year, im O.K.  :-D  :twisted:

and its alot cheaper than all those fireworks,,, :grin:

that secondary boom was unexpected and cool,

i need to set up a vid,  i missed the flame-shoot, my son said it was cool,
i mustov blinked,,grrr,,
