Oh my God, Oh my God, that thing is HUGE.
Alright, get your minds out of the gutter. She was commenting on a photo of something I surprised her with.
OK, again, get your mind out of the gutter.
Yesterday, my son and I changed the shocks and oil on my truck and decided to go on a little road trip to check out the ride. Left Macon and ended up in Phoenix City, Alabama. Decide that since we were already there, let's go to a fireworks store I know of and get some stuff to go boom for the 4th.
Went in and made the mistake of asking my son: "See anything you like?" He looked at me and said "Are you kidding me, I'm in a place full with stuff that goes boom." Just as lightening stuck close to the building.
We ended up with a buggy half full of the obligatory firecrackers, bottle rockets, sparklers (just to piss off Michael Bloomberg), M-80 style items, Roman Candles, Snap&Pops, and a few sky shells (mortar rounds).
While paying I filled out the little slip with my name and number for the grand prize drawings and ran through the heavy rain back to the truck.
Got home, laid down for a little snooze and got woke up by a ringing telephone.
"Hi Jerry, this is Glenda from Big Mamas' Fireworks. You left your name and number for our drawing, and I'm glad to inform you that you got drawn for the Grand Prize, The Big Bang, worth $1200.00."
This is the guy that won it in 2009.
Now you see why my wife kept saying that. ____________________ All photos posted of family, friends, and places, including those of historic ABB value, by this poster are copyrighted by the poster, or posted by permission of the copywriter.

Sorry for the misspelled title. Also looks like Macon will survive the night, it just started pouring again. ____________________ All photos posted of family, friends, and places, including those of historic ABB value, by this poster are copyrighted by the poster, or posted by permission of the copywriter.

Yeah, the box is about 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide. Now if I can just get her to check our lottery tickets. ____________________ All photos posted of family, friends, and places, including those of historic ABB value, by this poster are copyrighted by the poster, or posted by permission of the copywriter.

I hope Macon still exists tomorrow morning. ____________________ Don't let the sounds of your own wheels
