Gotta work today (so what am I doing here still putting it off) but we'll bbq later...we took the '59 Impala 'vert to visit freinds north of L.A. and it ran great...but there was not one single other cool car to be seen on the freeway out in the heat for the 300 miles up-and-back. Just dozens of dark-windowed SUVs with donk wheels which would each creep up behind us and pace for awhile, then pass with the driver looking straight ahead like he was baaad and hadn't been staring...

Fun drive anyhow. Happy 4th everyone.

Working this morning/early afternoon and then off to a cookout for burgers and beer.

Going over to some of ME's church buddies a bit later. I was hoping the mezzanine stairway might get put into place but the crew leader (Jason, my wonderful neighbor) hasn't called so I'm guessing his crew members are all drinking beer.

Great 4th. to Y'ALL!

I will personally be blowing up enough stuff later to compensate for those who can't celebrate Keep your fingers crossed Phillip and I don't end up in the ER...or set the yard on fire again... HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

It seems a lot of people feel today is about the Military and how they fight for our freedom, as I do applaud what our Military does for us, people must realize that this Holiday is really about a Country that stood up for itself and stood as ONE and told the repressive government that was controlling it that we don't need them anymore.

Independence Day stands for Freedom, don't be so easy to give up yours.........

Ain't that the real truth. Let's not ever forget what the holiday is actually about. Ditto, copy the Roger on that Affirmative.

But July 4 is not the only holiday that can be dangerous. Christmas. Not light 'em fireworks. Gift wrap.

I was raised by Ward and June Cleaver in the imaginary perfect neighborhood in Mayfield. I think I was Beaver, because I sure wasn't Wally. I was too little and slow to be an athlete.

But, break from the script, Daddy had plenty of beer while we were opening presents, and he was shoving gift wrap into the fireplace at the same rate Mama was trying to haul it away.

WHOOMPH! Chimney fire. If any of you have ever seen a chimney fire, it's a scary thing. It can and often does burn the house down.

Before the days when anybody understood anything about creosote, Daddy would even burn pine in the fireplace, so there was a bomb waiting to go off. It sure did.

A roar like a freight train or a tornado, great gobs of flaming stuff flying out of the chimney like the exhaust from a jet fighter on afterburners into the night, landing in the pine trees and could just about set the whole neighborhood on fire. Yeah, that was something.

Fireworks can sure get you hurt, but gift wrap can, too. Holidays are dangerous, all of them.

happy fourth.

here is somebangor maine..
its from a distance closer to my place.

car roof was the camera stand.

no bass in the sound... what else is new.
real life was impressive...

had to hold camera, it rumbled across my j-tin roof.

Wow, that was GREAT Boxer! The smoke obscured a lot of the visuals, but there was sure no problem with the bass (I have a subwoofer on this computer). I had to turn it down to keep Spankie the Dawg sleeping passively beside my chair.

A great way to end the day. Happy 4th folks. Or happy 5th by now on the east coast!

[min301]

We set up the equipment, and played the band outside
till the cops came after 12:30 to tell us it was over. Had fun, good fireworks,
and saw alot of folks....good times.
