Fourth of July Fireworks Redneck Style
« on: July 06, 2021, 05:55:47 am »
This is the first year in at least five years that we did not have a fire ban on the 4th of July.

I took full advantage to have my own fireworks display.

We shot the fireworks over the new lake that we built in 2020 with my bulldozer on my Ranch Manager’s property.  The NRCS provided a grant to him in the Young Ranchers Program to build it.  We have had so much rain that it completely filled up in less than 6 months.  The lake is 25 feet deep at the dam.

Great show!
Love steam engines, especially older German made.  Love the more clockwork style.  Addicted to this stuff!
