Happy Independence Day to all Americans. A Happy Fourth of July to the rest.

I adore this image - has a Diane Arbus feel.

Gary likes pancakes, (but can't/won't eat until noon).

My baking steel came in yesterday. I had to try in both modes...so pizza last night in tht oven and as a griddle this morning. Good stuff.

Since rain is in the forecast it should be a nice quiet 4th. 4.4x hours today 14.4x for the week so far. Got my check well before noon. Not sure why but I ain't complaining.
Home now and may go out to the garage and listen to LPs.

Curious to get your take on the fireworks this year. Went last year and for the first time ever it was disappointing. The new sponsor cheaped out or hired someone new and not as good. Have been so many times over the years and last year was the only time it was boring and uninspired. Hoping to hear they got their **** together this year but not dragging myself in there again hntik I see someone me good reviews.

Wow ... dunno about cocktails in favor of vino ... but the rest is worth moving east.

Such a wine snob! Lol.

Ribs, baked beans, a couple of "Truck Stop Honeys" (https://www.backfortybeer.com/truck-stop-honey-brown-ale) and the cool a/c will finish out my day.

Do you ever just sit back with a beer and wonder how we made it this far?

Oh yeah, all the time. But, sitting around a fire with a beer is usually how the stories get retold. Then I have to plead with my nephews or grandchildren not to try that! Lol.

 

[smoke665]

Have a safe & happy 4th! Getting the batteries charged & gear ready for our trip when the grandbaby arrives.

Back at you Cheryl. Looking forward to those grandbaby photos!!!

Happy Independence Day everyone!

No fireworks this year. The mayor of St. Paul said he couldn't see spending money on it when we can't get the budget in check. Have to admire him for it, but the public isn't happy. Pretty sure he could have turned to the private sector and the funds would have been raised if given notice. Haven't heard if anyone has stepped up.

It was supposed to be really hot again with storms later. Been raining most of the morning. Still supposed to be storms later, but suspect they won't be as bad since it isn't as hot as expected. The plan was to spin a pork roast on the grill, hasselback potatoes and a new ruby raspberry slaw. Doesn't look like that will happen. Oh well.

I'm sure someone would have stepped in. In the long run, cutting back on this kind of thing is better than laying off workers - I don't know of many local governments that are fully staffed - we sure aren't.

Hot again, here. We might get some relief on the weekend.

We won't be going anywhere for the fireworks - it's just too darned hot. The heat has actually affected my health. MLW is out with sister "S" getting a cell hone for sister "A" (she has none). Lazy Lobster rolls in on Friday for a couple of weeks then heads back to ME. MLW and "S" are going to drive them up, while I'm in Columbus at the Python conference.

You aren't going to the convention center, huh? the Pokemon championships?! lol
Hope you feel better by the time you go.

They've been having air quality whatever here because of the heat and humidity (affecting people with asthma etc.). So I'm staying in, doing some online shopping with the 4th of July sales. Although there's not much I'm shopping for this time of year, more 'window' shopping (or is it 'Windows' shopping?).

And there's USA hockey on the NHL Network. Replays, but I'll take what hockey I can get.

Our boy arrives back in the UK in the early hours, so I will be busy from now till Sunday. Then hopefully we can try and start getting on with our lives while never forgetting our loved ones, so see you all soon.
