This lasted for a weekend until the cops came to my parents home to inquire about any fireworks being shot from this area.
They weren't amused by the visit in the slightest.

I believe my dog will not go for walks anymore because of the Estes rockets.
We were doing some kind of a seventh grade science experiment, and of course at the park next to our house, beautiful, so why not bring the dog.
But something about that hissing sound that those rockets make when launched, he will not go for walks anymore.
With my older twins, we had a malfunction on "the wizard", apparently a fin fell off, and it made a 90° turn from vertical into the local HOA pool. While it was occupied. Luckily no one got hurt.
