It’ll be hot and humid with some brain roasting sun, if we’re lucky. There is a small chance of rain, but hopefully it will hold off until after midnight. It was certainly hot and humid yesterday, although in the shade, with a breeze is was comfortable if you were just sitting there.
Of course I was not. I was in the sun on the dock putting up bunting and additional flags. And installing cleats, bumpers, and LED tape lighting to outline the boat lift parts of the dock. LOTS of bunting… LOTS of flags.
I did some on the front of the house on the road side too. It looks very nice and patriotic. I would have thought there would be more stuff planned for the 250th anniversary, but I’m not totally surprised there isn’t. Patriotism is out of style. F that. I love this country.
Today we’ll do some more small jobs, maybe take the boat out, cook hamburgers, and then we are supposed to have the neighborhood fireworks show. That is always a good time and unlike big public shows, I don’t have to be nervous and watching the crowd. I can relax and enjoy the spectacle.
I hope everyone has a chance to celebrate at least a little. There’s more to love than hate, and it’s good to remember that.
Happy Independence Day everyone.

Now, since it is early and timezones are on my side:
Saturday! July 4! Good morning!
Wishing my US-American friends a happy and blessed Independence Day, liberty, peace, prosperity, and another 250 years of your great constitutional republic. It’s not perfect, but it is a shining city on a hill, when seen from most of the rest of the world.
Today I will be at the BOL helping set up for the Schützenfest tomorrow. It should be a fun weekend. Time to get up, fed and on the road…
Greetings, Denis. I don’t have a timezone advantage but I have a working-all-night advantage. “Advantage” might not be the appropriate word. Getting pretty tired and still have a couple hours before I’m finished. I knew it was going to be a rough night but I missed so much billable time lately that I needed to just buckle down and earn some money.
Poor SteveF. Hang in there! I hope you can get some rest soon. Earning money is the curse of the drinking classes.
I am feeling a wee bit ragged myself – lots of overtime this past month. Thankfully, Megaproject is on a bit of a lull until Tuesday, so I actually got the day off yesterday, and I can have a weekend too.
