1st day of firework sales is in the books
and as usual it was a pitiful day.I sure wished people would shop earlier but maybe the temptation of lighting them off is too great or the parents don't want to listen to the kids beg them to shoot something for the next two weeks.

Either way it was a slow sales day but we got alot done and the place is looking good.T-minus 10 days before all hell breaks loose.

Bottle rockets are for wimps. For us PVC tube-loaded saturn missiles were the "small arms" of choice, and those 2" ariel shells loaded into about 4' of schedule 40 PVC were the heavy artillery. One of those 2" shells was accurate out to about 2 blocks that way, and would put quite a dent in a car from that range.... don't ask me how I know that, but I worked one whole summer paying for the damage when the cops showed up.

We also used to shoot roman candles at each other, and I can't believe none of us ever got hurt doing that. The funny thing I remember is that they just seemed to bounce off you without doing much damage.

Ahhh, yes..the wars. Funniest time I remember was there was this one family with two kids on our block out in Blue Springs that everyone hated. The kids were grade A a-holes and they took after their parents. The oldest one was a bully and weighed in about 250 in 5th grade. Every year around 4th of July was just miserable...his parents would buy him about eleventy billion dollars worth of firecrackers and we were constantly terroized by this goober and his younger brother because we had nothing to fire back in return.

Anyway, one day, the youngest was out talking crap about their firecrackers and one of my buddies older brother who was in high school at the time overheard it and got out his bottlerockets.

From across the street, he was deftly aiming those rockets at the kid. The kid picks up their water hose with one of those sprayer attachments and is trying to stop them mid flight...well...it's at that point that one of the rockets hits the pressurized hose and burns a hole in it screwing up the pressure through the sprayer...kid panics and as we shoot several more salvos his way he's running toward the front door. Only problem was it was locked or something and he's standing in between the storm door and front door banging on it and crying as more rockets are lobbed his way...I was lauging my ass off.

Oddly, we never had a problem with them after that as I can recall.

Wow. It's stories like these that make me understand why the emergency rooms are so busy around Independence Day.

You think it might be because everyone waits until the last minute clear the inventory markdowns?

Yeah this company does extensive advertising,in my area alone they're dropping a little over $10,000 to promote 2 warehouse locations.

Actually,today has picked up quite a bit over last year,I just snuck upstairs for a smoke break.

I got a buddy that fills a washtub full of them and drills holes in all four sides.He then inserts two of the 3ft sparklers through the holes to create a cross.When ready you pull the sparklers out enough to get them lit,shove back into the middle and run like hell.

Not here,we have no such thing,whatever doesn't sell at the price we have marked goes back into the box and back to the warehouse.

Amazing though what some parents do,had a guy in a bit ago with his son,he just let him fill two baskets for $140 and then said these were to get them by for a week and that they'd see us before the 4th.

I always use a mini propane torch for lighting my bottle rockets.

I usually prefer to pay a little more cash and get the whistling bottle rockets over the ones that just pop.
