It's a holiday. I'm gonna lay around the house and do little or nothing besides drinking beer. I also plan to spend too much time cruising this site, take a long nap, and then go out to the lake to watch fireworks after dark.

BOOM!

P.S. Just decided to do Shishkabobs. Heading to the store right now..

Installing my ham radio in the Sentra SE-R - hopefully in the dashboard where that useless bin above the cupholder sits. I'll need it for the New England Forest Rally in 2 weeks (I'm working, not racing).

Some beer is on my agenda as well.

bleed corvette brakes - again - having a hard time getting the air out of the fronts after a simple quick caliper swap(system was open for less than 20 sec per side).

I'm going to break tradition and wash/wax the LandCruiser...finish painting the wheels on my sons bike (rust ...what ever happened to quality kids bikes???)

Go to the 4th parade, and grill some burgers.

Looking at a house this morning in the hope that we finally might have found a place with a garage and some space around it. Otherwise I have a stack of books to get through..

Wife's out of town so I'm batchin' it for a bit. Ribs are already in the oven.

Might shoot a car review video today (Challenger SRT8 in the driveway), and there's some yardwork that needs a doin' if the sun plays ball. And tonight there's an unofficial GRM get together at our local single A baseball franchise. I'd like to show up for that, although taking care of five parrots solo means extended trips away from the house can be tricky.

But, yeah. Hopefully not much productive.

Wifey and I are planning an extravagant dinner off the grill tonight, for just the two of us. Burgers, dogs and lobster, plus a big killer salad. We can see fireworks from our front yard, so won't drive anywhere, plus lot's of 9mm to listen to. USA!USA!USA!

I worked hard all week on various projects so as to have nothing to do over the weekend other than clear out some rubbish from the yard. Three trips to the municipal yard waste dump yesterday (only open on Saturday, or I would have gone earlier), and on trip three the rear hatch broke off my Ramcharger! It happened when I opened it, not when I was in motion!

I took off Friday so I would have a four day weekend, and here I am, up since 6 and just sort of killing time. I think I'l be doing some retro-PC gaming, maybe some Baldur's Gate II until things start picking up. Yard work done, car work done, house work done, and me too sober.

Where's it being held this year?

Went to one in '84 at Atlanta Raceway. Never got so sunburned in my whole life. My girlfriend and I were the only ones there without tattoos; we had a large time!

Waylon, Mearle, Hank Jr.,Jesse, Linda Rhonstadt, DAC, etc... and the Stray Cats (who got booed off of the stage after one song)!

Willie wasn't there that year, but who could tell? It was awesome!

Just put the last coat of paint in the engine compartment of the challenge car. Headed out to Jungle Jims for some great food and sodas with real sugar. Later on, hiting a cruise in at Quaker Steak with a friend who's staying with us over the weekend. He brought his DeLorean

Just got done cutting toppings to make a few pizzas. Oh, and I went to Advance to buy 7lbs of bondo. One way or another, that grill shell is going to have a straight surface!

I cleaned the garage during the day. Last week I insulated the walls so all those places where crap hangs on a nail isn't there.

Had six people over for dinner. Ribs, chicken and corn with that butter recipe I posted earlier, on the grill. Microcraft beers, good wine, and then had Trish's Lemon Merangue Ice Cream Pie by a fire in the chimenea.

It was a good day.

If anyone ever gets the chance the fireworks display in St Augustine is epically good. Sit on the outer wall of the fort for the best viewing.

You'll need to log in to post.
