I am staying home and having a cook out. My wife has to work that day, so we are just having a little family time and watching the fireworks on TV. I was going to go over to Penn State University and watch the fireworks at Beaver Stadium, but I'm really not in the mood to fight the traffic, or parking.

We've got a full day. Kids are starting the am with dad and then I'll b having my friend and her daughters over for a cookout midday.  Might get out the hose and act silly:). Then we are going to our local parade... My youngest is a scout marching in it with his den and then back for beer(for the grown ups) and pop for the kids. We are in walking distance from the fireworks but can see them well from the cul de sac right up the street. So either way we can see them locally and just walk back with no traffic. Just a good old fashioned small town 4 th of July. One of my favorite times of the year livng in this area and community:)

I have a bit of a long weekend from school (or, at least I'm skipping class on Friday to make it one since I have Wednesday and Thursday off) so I'm flying out to visit my cousins in Washington state.  I haven't seen them in way to long, and my parents drove up there for the 4th  as well.  It will be an awesome week, assuming I survive clinical today.

Hopefully take a nice ride on the Harley and then go to the range and put a few hundred rounds downrange. Then BBQ and my neighbor down the street put on quite a fireworks show. Sounds like a perfect independence day.

It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

Those all sound like nice plans!  I have a new bigass garden project I'm going to work on.  I also need to catch up on some sleep.  So, a mix of goof-off time and manual labor.

Putting the ribs on at about 10am, then relaxing until they're done. After sundown, we'll head out to the front yard to watch the fireworks on the strip. Living in Vegas has its perks. :)

If it's not a billion degrees tomorrow, I'm going to wash my MG and work on the Toyota.  Haven't decided on dinner yet... I haven't felt like cooking since I moved.

If it is, I'm staying inside and finishing up 'Breaking Bad'.

It's a 1973 MG B.  The '79 has those horrible bumpers and power-sucking smog equipment.  '73 was the last year for the chrome bumpers models.

That is a beautiful car. I like the other pics of it. That is a nice color also. I like forest green as well.

They have a MG club here. Every year they have a show at one of local Amusement parks and I go to look at them. I was talking with a guy who had a, I'm not sure what year it was, MGA with a 8 cylinder engine in it. I asked him how he put a big engine in such a small car and he said that he had to practically modify the whole front end to accommodate it. It was rather cool looking.

We have a British car club here.  I think the next show is in August.

Here are some of my pictures from an earlier show.

Thanks Gina. I can't say enough for scouts. He's really blossomed in it and it's been great for him and his dad to just have one on one time together:-)

The Boy Scounts, Girl Scouts is a great group to put your kids in. They learn so much from it. When I was a kid, I wasn't in Boy Scouts, but I was in the Royal Rangers. It is similar to the Boy Scouts, but done through the church. That was a lot of fun.

Have to work 8p-3:30a. No fireworks for me.  :(

Last year several of the neighbors did such incredible fireworks...they had to have spent thousands of dollars on them as they were the big ones that went up quite high. It was like duelling fireworks around here!!

Don't know if anyone will be doing them this year, it has been horribly dry. Though we had horrendous storms and flooding last night. Probably was enough to convince some that the fireworks will be safe.  ::) Several of the smaller towns around here have cancelled their 4th fireworks shows because of the dryness. Saw in the paper where there was a grass fire because a lawnmower went over a rock and sparked fire!!  :o

Watching fireworks and drinking beer. The usual.

Probably go into work for a bit during the day, even though it's one of my off days. Need the money since we're moving in a few weeks.
