This one brought with it a lot of fun little projects and new accomplishments.<\/p>\n<p>This was also the first year that I have ever been able to legally buy flying fireworks in a state that I live in. Woohoo! About time.<\/p>\n<p>I may be the worlds only bottle rocket enthusiast!<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;A connoisseur of fine Chinese gunpowder.<\/p>\n<p>So now that bottle rockets are finally legal I ordered up a few cases and we went a little crazy. For the last few weeks, we have been flying bottle rockets whenever time permits (even when time doesn&#8217;t permit, lol). This weekend we made up some nice little racks to fuse up a few hundred at a time and let them rip. I even dug out the old Crackerjacks tested bottle rocket racks (angry hornets nests. &#8230;because the rockets&#8230; oh never mind).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_428\" style=\"width: 193px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-428\" class=\"wp-image-428 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/brianpaonessa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/8000-firecracker-pack-183x300.jpg\" alt=\"Jess and her firecrackers\" width=\"183\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/brianpaonessa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/8000-firecracker-pack-183x300.jpg 183w, http:\/\/brianpaonessa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/8000-firecracker-pack-768x1261.jpg 768w, http:\/\/brianpaonessa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/8000-firecracker-pack-623x1024.jpg 623w, http:\/\/brianpaonessa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/8000-firecracker-pack.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 183px) 100vw, 183px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-428\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jess and Fwub with a big Firecracker<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As you probably already know Jess is a fan of firecrackers so I ordered up a case of 28,000 crackers, and at the fireworks stand they had this really cool pack of 8,000 firecrackers so we had to pick that up also. Jess made a few impressive celebration strings that had the neighbors hooting and hollering for more.<\/p>\n<p>Holly crap did we make a big mess.<\/p>\n<p>The big\u00a0finale this year was one of Jess&#8217;s cracker piles with 20 or so fountains fast fuses all around the fire pit. Somehow none of the fountains lit (Doh!) but the crackers went off with a bang (sorry.. how about they were a blast? .. wait where&#8217;s everyone going..)<\/p>\n<p><strong>All in all, I&#8217;d say
