Bomb Building 101

Bert and I also used to drive from Atlanta to the Alabama border to buy big fireworks like M-80s. I remember being out driving one night, I was at the wheel and Burt would light a fuse and then shoot the firework out of our car with a sling shot. I remember one hitting the doorpost and flying into the back seat and going off.

Sometimes I can't believe I still have all of my fingers... I have had a few woodworking accidents that took off more of a fingernail then I would have preferred but that's about it.

That must have been loud. How's your hearing?
