Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 7, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted July 7, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Mosby Posted July 7, 2017 Share 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.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 7, 2017 Share 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.

Tennessee Trapper Tom Posted July 7, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuse Rivers Posted July 7, 2017 Share 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 8, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted July 9, 2017 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
