Clear, cool, and everything covered in dew.  Perfect weather for a fireworks show.<\/p>\n<p>It was a long day, and I got stuff done.   Not everything, and not completely done, but tasks were attempted, and some were completed.   The others will continue on the list until they get done.<\/p>\n<p>We even got out on the boat, but it&#8217;s not a huge lake and there were a LOT of people up here.   We were going to take the kids tubing, or kneeboarding, but there was too much traffic, too many wakes, and the wind was howling.   I didn&#8217;t feel comfortable and we came back in.   We&#8217;ll try again today, as there should be a lot less traffic.<\/p>\n<p>The day ended with our rescheduled fireworks show.  It was half what we had last year, and was still 35 minutes long.   The only difference from a full professional show was that the fireworks don&#8217;t fly as high, but even that line was blurred by a few of the rockets. Did I mention the show is put on by two guys?  This year one was out of town, so it&#8217;s basically one neighborhood guy&#8230; and it&#8217;s great.  Lots of other people had fireworks too, some pretty good.  Not many guns being shot into the air, that&#8217;s more of a city thing.<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;ll be unloading and putting stuff away, as well as putting stuff away that we brought up on previous trips.  I might have to do some re-organization of the shed and garage first, so actual work might be limited.   It was crazy hot for a while yesterday, and I won&#8217;t work as hard today if it&#8217;s that hot.  I almost hurt myself, and I don&#8217;t want to risk it.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll also take down all the bunting and flags we put up for the 4th, and get out on the water with the boat for a while.  Unless it&#8217;s raining, we promised the kids.<\/p>\n<p>Stacking up some good times, as well as supplies.  Get you some of that!<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool to start, then hot.  Humid is a given.
