re: MURICA!!! Who else is ALL IN on the 250 July 4th!?!

How does one do this? I do a big celebration every new years and i'd prefer just 1 big show than running around the yard with lighters.
You can find some tutorial videos on YouTube about how to fuse and the materials you'll need. I prefer tape over zip ties, and I secure all my cakes to plywood boards for safety. Fuse burn rates widely vary so you'll need to buy several different fuse types and know basics about each box you buy (time and number of shots to be able to time fuses). It gets complicated the more boxes and mortars you add but the basics are the same. Biggest risks are misfires where the tape/zip tie connection doesn't light the box. But those are rare.
Electric firing systems are best for really big shows because you can accurately time all shots in your show and coordinate music. But that can be a big investment. I'd do it if I went this big every year.
Here's a good site that explains some basics about fusing shows. LINK

I use a single fuse for the entire show. That being said, this year is double what I normally do. I thought about buying an electric firing system but decided against it since this year's size will be an anomaly. The show could go almost an hour but I will try to reduce it as much as possible by having a really huge mid section (basically finale for most people's shows) and an obscene finale.

I picked up 10k worth of fireworks this year. Going big for 250, but won't do it like this ever again. Too much damn work.

Still no word on anything from etrade. Maybe I didn't get any of my requested?

On another big run this morning. Up about 22%.
I'm in at 32 and I guess I'll ride this until close to the SpaceX IPO. I'm not sure what happens to this once that is available.

I'd rather it happen now, when I'm still able to protect my children, instead of later.

I'll stick with Sam's because of scan and go. Single handidly makes Sam's the better option.

So one branch of government has to ask another for permission to build something that is privately funded? That makes no sense.
Some of these judges need to be removed for incompetence.
