It seems like as I get up in years it is getting harder and harder to light and run. I do a lot of hobbling these days. On the other hand it seems like a major convenience these days to mount all of the fireworks for a show for friends and neighbors without having time lapses by reloading and lighting new ground novelties and shells. I've been seeing a lot of hype on wireless ignition systems which let you shoot a number of displays by pressing buttons. At the same time the cost is at a premium for a hobbyist like me--$300 to $600 dollars. I'm not looking at buying a car or being a professional in fireworks displays. I just want to have some fun and entertain friends and neighbors.
In talking with more and more folks involved in fireworks and in talking with hobbyists, I've found a site where I can get something more in my price range, has wireless capabilities but just lacks some of the bells and whistles of some of the more professional systems.
In two weeks (week of October 18th) I'll be putting up a review of some of the wireless systems that I've been trying out. Sorry I can get this to you tonight. I would like another couple of weeks to talk with folks at CrackerJacks to find out what they've been doing. Please take a look at my site then for a review of some systems and video clips on how at least one of them works.

Colored Smoke Bombs
It has been a while since I've put out a post. Sorry about that. My bad. I experimented for a couple of months in trying to get color into smoke bombs until I finally got something to work. This week I'm off to Virginia for the CrackerJacks Fall festivities. One piece that I'm going to pay particular attention to is a presentation made regarding colored smoke bombs. So. . .if everyone can wait until next week (week of October 11th), I'll be able to write up my own experiences and experiments as well as provide info about what I learn at the training session.
Again, I'm sorry this has taken a while. I promise to have the blog posted by the end of next week.
