Quote: Originally posted by DanO  | I love fireworks, especially the big skyrockets, but there is a danger factor there that I long ignored until I was forced to be more careful. A
friend and I used to put on a real extravaganza he started with another friend every New Year's Eve at La Bocana de Santo Tomas -- skyrockets,
mortars, girandolas, missile blocks, bottle rockets, fountains, roman candles, m80s, m1000s, black cats, etc. If they sold it in Ensenada, we blew it
up. A few times we even worked a nice dry Christmas tree festooned with firecrackers into the show.
For those who don't know, the area is very sparsely populated. It's a couple of miles from the fishing port at Puerto Santo Tomas, which is the only
"populated" area around there, with maybe a couple of dozen permanent residents. A number of folks from the few houses in the surrounding area would
come to my friend's house to watch the fireworks, and those who had dogs that were bothered by fireworks were sensible enough to leave them at home,
locked up.
Anyway, a few years ago we had a premature explosion of one of the really big rockets while it was still in its tube on our launch deck, about 4 feet
in front of us. I suffered some permanent hearing loss and received a lifetime gift of tinnitus. My friend had similar symptoms. Fortunately, those
were the only physical injuries we suffered. My eyeglasses took a piece of the rocket dead center in the right eyepiece and likely saved my right
eye. My sweatshirt took a few hits and had a few burn holes as well. The spectators thought it was all part of the show and loved it, but my friend
and I agreed that we were damn lucky not to have been more severely injured.
I still do fireworks, but I deal with them more deliberately in preparing and lighting them, and I get out of the launch area completely after
ignition instead of standing just back of the blast zone. I wear gloves, safety glasses (those prescription eyeglasses are expensive to replace),
fire-resistant clothes, and earplugs, and I always have a fire extinguisher and a hose at hand and make sure that water pressure is good before
starting. Fireworks can and should be both fun and safe. BOOM! |
ya ive had some sketchball MX mortars blow up in the tube, or barely launch out and blow up 2ft above the deck, that combined with the .0001 second
speed fuses they put on everything makes it a game of life and death every new years and 4th of july!
still hell of a lot of fun though, be safe out there!

Having a home with a palapa roof I have found spent bottle rockets in my yard after celebration events. Keep it safe and realize what it could do to
ones living near by, they could lose everything from one miss guided bottle rocket.
Beach over water is a good plan for any aerial fire works. Have a great 4th. Keep your pets inside.

My dog is afraid of both fireworks and thunder, but I agree that with a little timely redirection he could be trained to ignore both. There's no limit
to what he'll do for a treat!
As someone with tinnitus 24/7, I love the flash of fireworks, but not so much the noise. I can appreciate them in the context of a festive
celebration, particularly when done by professionals.

The Puget Sound area beaches are non stop fireworks until around Oh dark thirty in the morning. High quality Chinese fireworks, a stacked wood pallet
of fireworks costs about $400

There are several venues along San Diego Bay too. A few years ago there was a screw-up and all the fireworks at all the venues went up at once.
Spectacular show..........for a minute or two. My dogs were happy about it.

This time of year, the sun doesn't even set in Anchorage until about 11 PM, so things start late. One year just as it was getting less that full
daylight, a fog bank rolled in!
The show must go on, so thousands of dollars worth of sky rockets were nothing more than a dull glow with a muffled bang! The ground display was OK,
but very few people had a good view of it.
My good old dog used to be terrified of anything that made a bang. The one I have now seems to be amused by lightning or fireworks, and it was not
because of anything I did!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

on the right hand side of the road as you are going toward the ocean. Look for the signs that say “Cohetes”. They are only a couple blocks off the
Hwy and you can usually park right in front of the store. Super easy, super quick and no hassle like downtown Ensenada. If you wanna drop a little
coin just ask the person at the counter for the better stuff in the back. They will have El Jefe bring out the real deal stuff but it’s more money.
If you like mariscos keep going down Lazero Carrdenas until it dead ends into Lupita Novelo. Look for Gustavo’s mariscos stand. He makes some of the
best civiche and a double decker tostada that is unique. thanks

Being Neighborly
I found long ago that the best recourse for victimized neighbors is a bit of (creative) tit-for-tat when the offending rat is away for the day.
Patience and prudence is always rewarded with opportunity.

fireworks. Tubes like 81mm mortars. They go all out and it's always a spectacular event.
Trust me when I write that all dogs can be trained to be OK with fireworks and loud noises. It takes time and patience and failure is only an
option for the dog owner.
I love fireworks. More the better. Loud is great. I like setting them off on the beach. Fortunately, I don't have neighbors with pampered
and coddled dogs. |
. True buttcrack of year come over here with your fireworks. Will see who is
pampered . Real low Life.
