carbonhalo Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Y.K.Y.A.P.... when you have 3 or more coffee grinders, and they're labelled... when your friends collect cash register spools without you asking... when you get a longarms license just so you can buy BP... when your property is listed in a permanent NOTAM... when you see your workmates count your fingers every morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregh Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) ...sitting in your workshop alone waiting on your wife, when she clearly said we were going to make fireworks tonight a few minutes ago during a romantic dinner. ...or thinking she was crazy for mentioning it, because I never build them in the house, let alone the bedroom...

stix Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) You browse the local supermarket shelves looking for the right shape - You find it, and when you get home you promptly discard the contents, and use the container as your next ball mill jar and I'm always on the lookout for something better!! A better shape, a nicer one. I'm sure there's better - a much more lovely one with appropriately shaped curves and a tight fitting lid - and much more nicer than the last one. Hmmmmm. Don't get me started about my casual strolls down the baking section. Corn flour, other flours, sticky rice, sticky fingers, sugar etc... yum. Please don't tell anyone about my pyro fetish. btw. Mikeee, I take it that your "401K" is your retirement fund - much like superannuation that we have here in Oz.

OblivionFall Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 When you and your friend considered joining chem 11 in high school to take some of the chemicals they had there When you're beginning to realize that you may be addicted to building salutes When you have to explain to your mom that you're not making an actual dynamite roll with a countdown timer and that you're making a movie prop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shunt Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) You cringe when a new member to the forum asks about M8**s. You read the replys, and celebrate when older members try to steer the new person in the right direction. You think about taking up a donation for Mumbles and sending him some kind of award, for he is just 5 posts shy of 10K here as of my post. IMHO, that is just total hardass dedication to the art of pyrotechnics, especially considering what he has been through. I am not trying to get approval from Mumbles or any one here. Just saying what I thought needed to be said, and give respect to all the other members who contribute. The topic was "You know you're a Pyro when" ...but IMHO, a real Pyro has years and years of hands on experianace and mentors others.
