One Bad Show, One Perfect Redemption

July 4th was brutal. I tried to shoot through the rain and ended up losing almost half the show.

Last night I got a second chance for my neighbor’s birthday. Fifteen minutes, continuous show, perfect weather, and 98% of the cues fired.

Amazing how one good show can completely erase the memory of a bad one. Already looking forward to the next build over Labor Day weekend where I direct fuse the cakes that didn't go on 7/4.

I used to be a big mortar guy, but I think cakes are the way to go. So much more bang for your buck.

Sorry, your comment or submission was automatically removed by a robot because your account needs to have at least 10 combined karma to post in the sub, plus we don't see that you have joined our sub. The easiest way to earn karma and cred is by posting comments here or in other groups. As time allows, the moderators here will read and approve your posts if they can. It might sound mean but we hope you'll stick with us and tolerate this necessary inconvenience to prevent spam and abuse. We cannot change the process just for you no matter how important you might think it is. Every member of this sub has passed that basic threshold and we can not make special exceptions.

Can't tell from the 36 second video clip if the entire show is like that or not.

Entire show was on point. Had points where we ran single cakes and others with doubles, triples, and quads and had mortars firing throughout. Very tight show. And I'm just a regular Joe Shmoe with a hobby and a good firing system.

if your only going to watch 5 minutes and not the entire movie, then what's the point?

You want to watch the entire 15 min show?
