In bed by 7pm up at 2:30 am on the road by 3am & hope the cops got all the drunks off the road. I hate to think about dodging wrong way drivers with 11,600 gals of gas onboard, & it has happened in years past.

Hey, my old supplier got bought out so now all four of the fireworks stands outside of Wasilla are owned by the same person (no more good deals).

Do you guys mail order yours or do you have a local supplier?

I've got a guy who gets em wholesale. In the past he was letting us have em at cost but I think he's making a little profit off of us. Still beats going to a stand. We'd have paid double what this batch cost us. I'm seriously considering getting a dealers license.

I had a quiet night. Spent most of the nite with the DW but eventually I ended up a little drunk in the breakroom. According to Shorts, I am getting credit for the mess of empties on the floor this morning. I am not sure that is totally fair though. The lat thing I remember clearly, the dragon was doing shot of cinnamon Jagermeister and Bark, Cincy and Chaikwa had a couple of ducks in the corner. I don't really remember what the ducks were for but I vaguely remember something about snorting quack.....

Double!! This guy in Wasila gets at least a 300% markup compaired to the internet dealers and they have a pretty hefty markup.

Nice sparklers Ron,

we had used a family that made their own and had a 'supermarket' with lil shopping carts and stocked aisles of the Chinese imported stuff down in muncy PA.; with the gov being what it is, they had to shut down in 2009. very sad.
I did have the commercial license (farm explosives) in the 80s, but it got 'frozen out' by 2000.

even the 'demonstrators' license (public display) has 15 pages of restrictions, and open inspection 24/7 by ATF. might not be worth any fines if one thing is out of place.

....quiet voice....but boy is it worth it to string out 40 pots for the finale.....
