All the more reason to fire a bunch of them off!

Because of burn bans or because they have been used as weapons lol.

I tried doing some edging around the landscaping but it’s way too hot and humid to do work outside so that didn’t last long. Maybe taking the kayak out to a lake will be cooler.

Awesome. It’s a blast, isn’t it? I feel I don’t get out nearly enough.

I feel kayaks are a lot like yo-yos…such a variety of them on the market you want to try them all. Sadly they’re a bit more pricey than yo-yos.

it really is! we fit two 5"8 guys on a one man Kayak so it felt like we’d flip any moment… we need another…

Ha! I’d be afraid to try that. Yep, a 2nd kayak is definitely needed.

I used to shoot off a lot of fireworks. Then I realized I could save soooo much cash if I just shoot off my mouth instead. I’m still not sure which is more costly! :firecracker: Happy Fourth!

For reals!
I’ve never been super into doing fireworks. I really do like watching them though.
Usually me and my dad would just get a small selection of fireworks each year. Bottle rockets, crackers goofy novelty ones (like the little tanks), smoke bombs and then we’d spend a bit on smaller fountains. We could do pretty well with $50 between the 2 of us.
Then we’d just do BBQ and enjoy the evening together.
My mom always spent the 4th with her side of the family.

This year I’m being boring lol. My dad moved out of state.
I could go out to one of my friend’s and hang out with them…but meh…I’m okay with being boring! :smiley:

They’re just not legal in MN. Haven’t been for as long as I’ve been alive. You can have sparklers and sparkling fountains but nothing that explodes. Of course when I was younger people made the trip to So. Dak regularly for some really good stuff. Now you can buy most anything in Wisconsin, but you can’t shoot them off there w/o a permit.

My son lives in Wisconsin, just across the border. The town he lives in sells the permit for $25. This is his setup from a couple of years ago…

All electronic controlled. Show lasted about 30 minutes. He buys the left overs in the off season for 10 to 20 percent of list price.
