    Even those braids of baby crackers can mess with you. Lost hearing in 1 ear for over a month after one had a super fast fuse. My hearing was already hearing aid worthy...that was very unhelpful.
    Caution. You will be old someday don't make it worse especially for no pay LOL

    Nope.

    Those mortar shells typically come with some dumb little cardboard tube that has a funny way of falling over and pointing in a most undesirable direction after they’re lit, which means you may have to take cover.

    I learned that lesson the hard way once, so I made myself a better “launch pad” so to speak, like I described to you. ;)

    Last time I played with bottle rockets I hammered a piece of pipe into the ground, angled towards a safe direction.

    Hearing loss is cumulative. It’s one of those things that sneaks up on you, kind of like moonshine. ;)

    it is unbelievable how warmly I have been welcomed home

    I hope everyone feels the same amount of warmth with their family and friends after a difficult year.

    my hope for all of us is that we take the strength gained in hard times and become better fathers and mothers or sisters or brothers going forward.

    Merry Christmas to all of you!

    Well it didn't flare up too big. Just a couple buckets worth. Luckily they were outside with us so not a shock to them.
    Even as a supposed adult I've been involved in some really juvenile things when I look back. I'm blaming alcohol...
