Light the Fuse and Stand Right Back
Happy Independence Day folks.
I hope everyone had the opportunity to blow something up or watch someone blow something up. The 4th this year was low-key. Phil came over and we played around with the PS3 a bit and I grilled some chicken for the dinner. As dusk hit, the missiles let fly.
The deck is set on the back of the house in such a position that it allows for the comfortable viewing of fireworks from several townships and neighborhoods. Tonight, there were hours of non-stop ballistic fun surrounding. We watched fireworks for an hour and then Phil and I began detonating the goodies we'd purchased earlier in the day. For the record, buy one get one free will result in piles and piles of explosives. Even after we'd blown through all of the bombs we bought, there were missiles flying high from several directions. We watched until they faded out and then called it a night. With work tomorrow, there's only so much festive I can do.
Also, I ran out of propane for the grill and had to go get a new tank. An important safety tip... don't let a propane tank fly around your car loose. It can bang up your interior... and maybe explode. I guess that would have at least been in the holiday spirit.
