    Last night we was down stairs in the stove room with old Black Sabbath just a cookin away. Burning just perfectly with secondary's a plenty. All of a sudden from some where out side we heard this loud BOOM. Well right away my mind goes into this "What the F was that?" mode. I thought maybe I had some kinda freak wood gas explosion in the chimney. (Hey, stranger things have happened) So I go up the stairs and out the back door to take a look at the chimney. Nadda thing going on. Then it dawned on me. The day before a neighbor about a quarter mile down the road was out having some fun with a rifle and some tannerite. He musta had just a little left to get one more blast outta. I'm surprised we heard it down in the basement as it is like a bunker down there. I am kinda mad though. He didn't invite me over to partake in the fun!

    My neighbor introduced me to tannerite while I was up a 32' ladder hanging my electric service entrance wire on the pole at my camper. I almost fell off! New drawers also were needed. Needless to say, I came down and had a few choice words with him. I was maybe 100 yards away from the explosion. Now he let's me know before he starts.

    Learned my lesson with that as well...I wondered why everyone else had ear plugs and was standing behind the barn when I shot!! Neighbors didn't like it much either!!:picard:

    That ill wake ya up. Nothing like wondering if something blew up in your house.

    Which Black Sabbath song were you listening to? Black Sabbath? War Pigs? The Wizard? Iron Man? Heaven and Hell? I gotta know man.

    You will need a 6-pack of bats so you can bite off their heads for proper effect! War pigs is a kick a$$ tune!
