Major E A,

Timely, considering some of what is going on within the Government these days.
And I must say, well done on this Nations Birthday.
My best,
Blair

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!

My English friend and I have had some fun with this today.

I know most Americans have no idea (nor do they care) why the "Union Jack of 1704 Act of Unification" evolved.
Most Brits know (I think). But I do wonder sometimes? if the Brits are as ignorant as we Americans are of our history?
My best,
Blair

We may not get the rain we were expecting, lighting included, for the fireworks displays tonight.
This is good, especially regarding the lighting issues!
Rain or not, the fireworks will go off. With a lot of lighting, the fireworks will be suspended.
The bombs/rockets will tend to attract lighting strikes.

You all have a Happy, and safe National Birthday.
My best,
Blair

I am still waiting on that 20% chance of rain. We dined on the patio, the Burgers, Baked beans, and Potato salad all turned out great. We got a little wind, which made it pleasant outside.

[Texas Lawdog]

The rain did not arrive last night. They had a big fireworks display at Lone Star park. We were able to watch it from our front yard. We went to bed about 11:00 pm, and the fireworks lasted till after midnight. The Cawffee and Hot water are ready this morning.

It looks like the rain will non-existent next week. It's either a flood or a drought around here. It is still cool on the Patio, at least for Breakfast, then for Supper, after the sun goes down. I bought another old Smith revolver on line, A Model 1 1/2, in 32 Rimfire. I should be able to pick it up tomorrow afternoon.

[Russ T Chambers]

I wonder where all the rain went!  Ours didn't show up yesterday either.  Just overcast and cool.

Got the cooking, eating, and cat outdoor time all in. (They had a high ol' time chasing bugs in the back lawn as it got dark.  Happy cats).

Ribs turned out fine, Crock pot in a bed of onions & french onion soup ....Mrs. Dash Rub & BBQ sauce fell off the bone good.

Firework galore ...We have a neighbor,  a couple ranches over who does Fireworks display's up proud.
New Years, Memorial Day and the 4th. he always has the stuff of the big shows. 
Does, freak out the animals though.... 

[Blair]

Ground launched Firework displays are well known for attracting air to ground lighting strikes during thunder storms in this area.
I am glade to see that most of the thunder storms had passed by the time the fireworks started.
It made foe a much safer 4th of July for everyone.
My best,
Blair

The Cawffee and Hot water are ready for drinking. Enjoy!

[Texas Lawdog]

I grilled some smoked sausage on the Patio last night, with some leftover potato salad and Baked beans. It all turned out good.

[Major 2]

Got up about 2:40 AM to wring out , flipped on the Firecracker 400 just to see if they were still circulating ...
Saw the WREAK    glad the kid is OK ,  Hendricks HAVE's chalk up another....

The down side I'm tired ...had a rough time going back to bed , up side is I'm off today.

[Texas Lawdog]

I am glad you are off today, M2. I pickup my Smith 32 rim fire this afternoon. I am using a different FFL, this one is cheaper and I get a discount for having a CCW permit.

[Major 2]

You must have a bulging collection of belly guns by now. I'd like to see it when I'm out there in October.

[Texas Lawdog]

I will try and bring as many as I can. I plan on getting my 1903 Colt 32acp re blued and carry it in a holster as back up for my 1911.

[Texas Lawdog]

I picked up the Smith Model 1 1/2 a couple of hours ago. It is nicer looking than the picture of it. I am very happy. The transfer was quick and easy. I will be using this guy again.

Afternoon y'all.

The kids gave me a cold. So, I stayed home today and sleep. I awake an hour ago and ate lupper. Now, I'm gonna load .44 WCF and listen to an audio book by Charles King.

'Tis 80 and overcast. Might get rain later.
