Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 I spent about $400 on fireworks and firecrackers. Took about 40 minutes to obliterate every piece. The firecrackers were in rolls of 500 and we were lighting up those rolls at both ends. What a blast. Had some real nice ariel thunder boomers. I'm already saving for next year to be a bigger BLAST...... ..........Widder
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 8.00 in snacks to take to the Fireworks display downtown. Regular fireworks are illegal in most cities in this area.

Subdeacon Joe Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Maybe about $12 for hotdogs, burgers, a small sack of spuds, a head of cabbage, and a bag of ice. We tend to keep things low key and stay off the streets.
Sedalia Dave Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 A whopping $20.00 $15.00 in gas plus $5.00 match fee which included all you could eat BBQ pork sandwiches, chips, cherry cobbler and Ice tea or lemonade to wash it down with. All courtesy of the Red River Valley Cowpokes
DocWard Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Spent a little more than usual on dinner and dessert that Mrs. Doc made, but not a huge amount.
Dantankerous Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 I spent $0.00 on the 4th of July this year. I had to work the night shift. Guess I'll have to make up for that somewhere. GunBroker maybe?
Chili Ron Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Howdy, Gas money out to the park. And home. Wonderful display. Paid fer by my property taxes. only a few grand. Best CR
Clay Mosby Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 $16 at the stand run by our church to raise money for the youth group. A couple of crackling fountains and some spinning blossoms. took about 10 minutes to set them off. Then went to bed and stayed awake till almost midnight as tens of thousands of dollars in illegal fireworks were set off in the neighborhood.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Didn't dew fireworks. $0.00
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 I spent about a buck three eighty and watched the fireworks from my back porch. The town of Prescott Valley conscientiously had their show a mile from my house and downwind. The dog didn't hear many of the explosions and I saw almost everything that rose more than fifty feet above the ground level. My son and grandson and my son's fiance went over to watch up close and came back with a bag of burgers and fries and some truly wonderful milk shakes.
Sixgun Seamus Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 House rental for a week on the Outer Banks over 4th of July. $4000+ Copious adult beverages. Who cares Spending a week with my Three kids and spouses + 5 grandkids. PRICELESS
Pat Riot Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 $50.00 on rodeo tickets and a couple of cold drinks. Plus $10 for a hatband for my non-CAS straw cowboy hat.
Tennessee Trapper Tom Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Gas to go 2 miles to the local small township that puts on an awesome 1 1/2 hour display every year, then home to watch the display that two local farmers on two sides always put on after the towns displays. Actually could have stayed home and seen all three but we meet friends this year.
Neuse Rivers Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 41.00 worth of Angus Rib Eyes & about a dollar to make some Cowboy Butter (salt, pepper, lemon, lemon zest, fresh parley, fresh rosemary, red pepper, fresh garlic... and oh yeah, butter.) Baste those Rib Eyes with CB Butter, and a side order of adult beverage, watch the fireworks from my porch. Happy Independence Day!!

Nasty Newt # 7365 Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 Sparklers and cones are OK here, but didn't buy any. Spent about 40 bucks for a couple of side dishes to take to a family cookout, and some beer.
Calamity Kris Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 Zero. Spent the day cleaning the house then crashed.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 Half of our part of Arizona was on fire. Got down to where the decision to shoot or not was left up to the cities and towns. Prescott, Chino Valley and all the place between here and Cordes Lake said no. Prescott Valley had a nice hour and a half show.

Yul Lose Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 Somebody brought a ton of them up to LA. The illegal show was better than the legal ones.
Happy Jack, SASS #20451 Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 Noz, I usually don't experiment much. Either Bookers or JD Single Barrel. This time I found a bottle of Jefferson's Ocean. Aged at sea. Really good !!! I hope to find another bottle next year.
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 I wasn't gonna risk baking a cake. Last one I tried to make came out like a chocolate paving brick. So -- eight bucks for the wife's birthday cake, fifty bucks for dinner out for the two of us. Happy Fourth of July to my beautiful bride and now you know why her alias is Firecracker Mel!
Capt. James H. Callahan Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 About $30 for a brisket. I guess you could say $15, Froze half of it, smoked half. Take my wife and I weeks to eat a whole one. Daughter came by and ate supper. Even froze part of what I cooked! I guess I pretty much got the fireworks fever out of my system when I was a kid. Kinda like going to the fair. It was a lot more fun when Dad was paying for it! JHC
Hoss Carpenter Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 About $ 54. for a 15 year old bottle Single Malt Scotch. Drank it all over three days too, with just a little bit of ice.! Cheers, Hoss >
