4th of July
 

Happy fourth of July, and God Bless the United States of America.

Same to you.

What all is everyone doing today on their day off? I had to replace some rotted broken off fence posts, fun!

Cleaning my pool, cant get rig of this green alge!

Preparing to go pick up my new car. Anyone know if I'm allowed to carry on a CB antenna? Won't fit in my checked bag...

Amen to that.

Goofing off with my granddaughter. We went to a 4th festival in Fowler.

I scored a vhs copy of Bullitt at the Library book and movie sale. We also had some fresh squeezed lemonade....Wow!....best I ever had.

Yeah.. we r oblivious of 4th of july but I forgot our loved ones being killed every day in the war zones (Iraq and Afghanistan); I worry if I can a afford a $4.79 per gallon Diesel to fill up of my beloved Diesels. Fortunately, I found a free disposal or used canola(wvo) at my work site and have been using filtered 50/50 wvo since May 2008; our jobs being stripped from us and the mortgage coundrum. I henestly do not see reason to celebrate at all...IMHO

Working evening shift. Day 5 of a 12 day string. Get to do an 11 day string for the end of the month. Such is the life of a tech guy in a downsizing shop.
Still, I agree with Victor Davis Hanson:

Mrs MTI & I our celebrating the anniversary of our "first date" 12 years ago. I spent the day swapping a stereo into the 16 valve . . . found $11.03 stashed away in the center console ashtray (2 $5 bills in the tray clip) and loose change ($1.03) in the console, under where the ashtray unit sits. :D

Since we grill almost every day anyway, we ate our J4 burgers at 5 Guys. Then went to see Get Smart, which was a pretty funny movie.

Me and the wife sat on the roof and watched the fireworks in the neighborhood.

BBQ pinwheels, garlic marinated shrimp, hamburgers,bbq pork chops and delicious Bloodwurst from Karl Ehmer served with excellent kraut. Lots of friends and their kids. Homemade cheesecake and rum coconut ice cream for dessert.

Watched the local fireworks show, then set off some of my own. Wish I had stayed in Athens last night... most of my friends drove there today...

Not too many takers, this 4th of 2008 ... I wonder why??

Anyways, I got a load of Todd Rundgren last night @ the Canyon Club, that about made my holiday weekend .... my ears are still ringing :D

I went south and hung out with some friends, watched the Fuego Works on t.v. and driving back laughed my butt off listening to the Comedy chanel on Sirius radio.
