And don't pull a JPP. 

Drinking beer.........well, a few beers........okay, a lot of beer.  Starting today.  Had some Bold Rock apple cider IPA.  Also had some Gaelic Ale, watermelon lime.  Don't drink it.  It's not good.

I don't know what I'll actually do on the 4th. Maybe rest, eat leftovers and walk maybe a mile to the park and see the town's fireworks display. That's one benefit of living downtown in a small town, I can walk to EVERY event that the town offers. My wife and I love it. 

Now, tomorrow, my wife's family will be having a cookout, as her 81 year old mama's in town from half way across the country in Kansas.

Just hamburgers, hotdogs and smoked sausages this year. Didn't want to deal with boiling chicken or ribs. But between the chili, chili and slaw we should be alright. Gonna have baked beans, potato salad and corn on the cob as well, and I'm talking the good stuff, not that bland, near tasteless crap some people call baked beans or potato salad.

I am not too much of a drinker like I used to be many many years ago, but I may have a Steel Reserve Hard Pineapple (don't judge me), a glass of Black River Red (delicious if you like  muscadine or scuppernong wine), or maybe a few glasses of  Sweet Red by Carlo Rossi which is surprisingly good if you like sweet red wine ($15 bucks for a jug at Walmart).

It's going to be like a mini family reunion at my sister-in-law's 2 acre spread out in the country. We will have at least two corn hole games going on, maybe some horse shoes and bocce ball, as well as  at least a couple of games of spades. We will top it all off with fireworks in the evening.

Sounds like a great time!

Beach, Beer, Beach Babe watching ..  

I go to a place at the beach with an old fashion 4th.  Flag raising.. Then parade with the kids marching onto the beach, each carrying an American Flag.  Then the old fashion part for the kids.  three legged race, sack race, water balloon toss, greases watermelon,,  then cake walk,  fishing pond ( in which every child gets a water gun to shoot their parents ) , guess the beans in the jar etc..   Then at 1 PM,, the adults in a very competitive  horse shoe throwing contest that last waaaaay too long, and swelling of too many beers.  But a good day had by all..  rain or shine.

Be safe to all in Panther's  Carolina Huddle.

Surfing, steaks, Monday grillout, and general shenanigans that make me feel like I'm not almost 30.

Being in the US flag industry the 4th and Memorial Day are big selling times here in the US, the rest of the year our flags sell like hot cakes in Iran.

What the?

 

Anyway, yesterday ran the boat north to hang with some old friends on a sandbar all day, had a ton of IPA's and such, then went to our favorite outdoor bar for some good drinks and food.

Went home and crashed.

Today is work for a couple hours, and tomorrow, who the hell knows....maybe run the boat South for a bit?  Also, will probably smoke some ribs.
