Happy 4th . . . 3rd . . . of July

  • Why do they have to screw with dates like they do to give people an extra day off? The 4th is on a Saturday and most people are already off, but doing things the way they do just costs employers more money.
  • Well, the gas is pumping again. We had our lines tested and the system never came back up. It was a stupid safety feature that failed.
  • Yesterday we did the bike night @ QBs Sports Bar & Grill. Rained so they cancelled the event after we were there. We stayed for dinner since others were there too, but we were disappointed that it was cancelled. We had dinner with Rick and Janet. Gilbert and Natalie were there, but they decided to eat outside while we ate inside because Nina was cold. I was glad we took the Jeep out instead of the bike. At 140 miles round trip, this will not be repeated very often.
  • Talk of terrorist attacks for this holiday is all over the TV news. I’m not even going to guess what will happen, but I hope it’s nothing. Even if there is nothing happening, the shitheads win. They’ve changed our lives forever. Gone is the time we could go to an event and not see a huge armed presence. Talking with Rick last night, he said that he’s packing heavy this weekend while he’s in Colorado. Being in the Denver metro area, he and many others feel Denver is a potential target. Yep, our lives have changed since 9/11. I think we’re screwed from now on.
  • Is anyone else tired of the political crap being foisted on us on TV? I am fed up with having to listen to the talking heads pushing this crap into my home. All I want to do is listen to the news in the morning before I start my day.
  • Yesterday’s rain was another huge storm. The lightning show was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. It will be sometime today that we’ll hear if it started any fires. The Commissary fire is still burning strong behind us. We can easily see the smoke from the fire from our place. Andy’s hoping to get called out for this fire, but he doubts it will happen.
  • I was going to head to Michigan on the 5th, but karma has stepped in and moved my plans bag for a few weeks.
Relax . . . we’re all crazy . . . it’s not a competition!
