Happy Independence Day to all of you Americans. |waves|
I guess its big fireworks and bbq weekend for most of you.
No fireworks here, just another day of work, wrapping things up before Sunday.

Oh the mojo's blackout happend. My sites, this board and Juicy Ads were out for a few hours. The things you can't control.

Have a nice day all.|waves|

Good morning and Happy 4th of July |usa

Drove down to Brantford yesterday for daughter's dance thing which ends Saturday night, then Sunday we're heading to Buffalo for a brief visit to Greenie and company.

TGIF and have a good one!

Happy 4th of July :)

Doing a bit of work followed by shopping with my wife and then watch a movie.

Of course I will need to water down the house and trees because F'tards have been firing off lots of fireworks this year so far even thou we have had a drought/fire hazard warnings so I can't even imagine what it will be like tonight.

Hopefully today will be a day of no outages.

Doing Foxy's updates and then going to drive over to West Marine to look at a JIMMY STYKS 10'6" Puffer Inflatable Stand-Up Paddleboard that is a $100 off today plus if I put it on my new BofA cash Rewards card I'll get another $110 cash back. I've actually never used a SUP but this seems like a good way to learn without spending a lot of money and I like that I can roll it up an carry it in my Vette.

Belated Happy 4th July to you all.

Of course I realise that means you will all either be partying all weekend or will have taken advantage of the 3 day weekend and fucked off somewhere nice for a few days. So it is gonna get kind of lonely on the board with just us Europeans here (used to be Africans and Australians here too, but with the exception of one rarely heard from Australian, they all seem to have fucked off permanently, ages ago).

One of my neighbors built a nice tiki bar on their big, flat reinforced roof. They had a roof-top party yesterday and last night.

We're two blocks from where the park and canal where they set off the big commercial fireworks displays. Which always sets off all the car alarms on my street at the finale.

Some people brought bags and boxes of the stuff you can buy over the counter, so the party had hours of it's own pre- and post-show rockets and explosions. We're on a canal anyway, and with the drenching we took from the tropical storm that went by, no fire worries.

I brought some things you used to be able to buy years ago, so we had fun guessing whether something would fail to do anything at all, or explode in a way unintended by it's designer. Most of them worked fine, but we did have three big and brand new items that just blew themselves apart. The 3" diameter butt plate off one of the mishaps flew across the roof and hit me perfectly center mass. Weak load, so no injuries to report.

There was lots of good food, watermelon and grapes soaked overnight in vodka, a flag made out of red/white/blue jello shots with LOTS of tequila, and all the usual party fare. To celebrate freedom we exploded some things we aren't allowed to have, drank some moonshine we're not allowed to distill, and burned some vegetation we're not allowed to grow.

All in all, a good time was had.
