Childhood Memories of Our First Home made Firecrackers

[painter777]

Boy I bet that would wake the boys up at deer camp, nice job.

Speaking of waking them up, years ago while deer hunting at our tent camp in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (UP). One of the alarm clocks was set way to early and went off in the middle of the night. The father of the son whose clock went off got ****ed off about and shot 3 or 4 rds from his .45 at it.
He hit the clock, scared us to death along with making us mad about his no brainer move. After settling back in I gave thought as to the direction of his shots and asked where he had parked. Brand new with the dealer stickers still on the window 1985 Dodge Ramcharger had 2 shots in the drivers side front fender, just behind the tire. One last shot in the drivers door. Blew out a power steering line and the power window motor or control.

I just remember LOUD, same thought I get after seeing your Thunder Mug.

Thanks for the pictures...... Wish I could see/hear it go off.
Not sure why but why is it that so many I get to know from Washington are ex navy and.......... on the wild side :-)

Cheers
