Does that include fireworks or just mortars and cannons?
I may not be completely sane, but at least I don't think I have the power to influence the weather.

Just Mortars , cannon , gonnes, etc. You would be surprised how much fun you can have with just a 1/4 pound of powder. My little fire cracker mortar uses a 1/4 teaspoon or less of powder, and its a real hoot to fire off. It is a good time filler in between the soda can mortar shots. Tracy

I guess you'll have to put me down as zero then.

Oh shucks now you made me feel bad jeepers, Maybe the moderators won't mind if you tell us how much B.P. you used with your fireworks. I'm kind of curious now.   Tracy.

Sweet, that's about twice what I burned up.
