Oooooh, it’s a hot one, Viking! Sounds like you’re having a good time. Happy Independence Day weekend! I forgot to say that up at the front of the thread. :-)
Heh. Our big American flag mounted to the porch post flies 24x7x365. It's always Independence Day around here. Just put up some bunting and whatnot around the pool fence. As for the heat, this is the first chance I've had to go fishing since The Walking Dead zombie virus tried to eat my leg. I'll take the 96 degrees and one lousy bream for the sheer joy factor. Tomorrow, it's gonna be BBQ chicken wings, smoked ribs, macaroni salad and banana pudding, cold beer, a big pool, fireworks (the big Roman candle types are legal here), lounging under my palm tree, and maybe some limited small-caliber target practice among the adults. God, guns, family, heritage. Everything that makes Obama's fool head explode. (Oh, we can only wish.................)
