Holy chit!

Shook every house on the street and sounded like a bomb going off.

Bad ***!
That may have been what it was, Scott (I mean here, not your SIL!! ). Because there was loud *** "boom" then little snaps & pops after.

I love me some sparkler bombs!! The neighbor kid at our old house blew up my mailbox on new years because and I quote "yours was the only one that didnt have mail in it." He was 10... Hard to argue that logic. Nice thing was, his Dad drug his *** over to apologize and then bought my new mail box and installed it. That boy got a beating, like it should be.

Washington was cold, around 11-20 degrees last week. We are back to the rainy windy crap and 45 degrees now. Glad you are feeling better pal, or at least are on your way to feeling better.

Glad your okay Mark, dont forget that aleve, it works wonders. Always pop 2 before snowboarding, cause I know I'm gonna need it. That and some Jack in a flask!!

Markadeck- I hope he is doing alright, been thinking about him lately. I know he's having a tough time with the caffeine...

Nolan, if you get the chance, the time, and enough room, they are fun to shoot at with a .22. What is real wild is when you hit it, and it doesnt go off. You walk up to it, several minutes later, to find it is packed with wax..
