It's been a family tradition for us to have our own display instead of attending a July 4th fireworks celebration that some local towns put on. I set up a big sheet of plywood on saw-horses in the backyard and screw the mortar launch tubes and tubes for the roman candles & bottle rockets etc... into that so nothing tips over at an inconvenient moment. We invite friends, neighbors, family over for a barbeque and when it gets dark it's showtime. We've never had any thing more serious than a few alcohol related boo boo's, because I never allow things to devolve into the 'stupid stunts' category like one can find all over youtube. Here's wishing everyone who celebrates this weekend with fireworks a safe and enjoyable good time.

Don't be this guy.

I wonder what came first, the injury or the brain damage.
