Memories ;) My brother & I would get up early July 5th & collect hundreds of unexploded fire crackers & bottle rockets lying on the ground at a local lake that hosted a fireworks show. We'd spend all day unrolling them until we had enough powder to make a giant M80. We once blew a hole in the road in front of our driveway so big my dad damaged a tire rim. We thought it was hilarious because he ranted about the township letting the asphalt go to hell. 😂 Even funnier, he bought some gravel & tar & repaired the hole himself. (Midwest nice, guy.) Unfortunately the explosion was so loud we spent the day hiding in the woods afraid to go home. We never lit one again.

Next morning we discovered my buddies $200.00 Ford was hit multiple times. Actually increased the value of the car. True story.
