“...I should of been dead a long time ago.”

Same here. I’m a lot more careful these days.

I should be blind, because I blew up a lighter and the flame blew into my face. Singed my hair and that’s all.

My dad was not pleased that I made a small quantity of nitroglycerin in the garage. I dutifully carted it out to the canyon, propped it up with some sand and detonated from a safe distance with a BB gun. It made a nice hole.

My dad later confessed to sifting flour in front of a fan and lighting it off in his family garage. It took out all of the windows. His punishment was to dig out all of the broken glass, cut new panes and reset them with fresh putty...at his own expense.

I sent many an M80 aloft with hydrogen balloons filled using the pool acid and aluminum foil in the garage.

My “favorite” involved M80’s and a wrist-rocket
