Do you know a lady by the name of Jackie Thurman?

Parade, carnival, rodeo, fireworks. Add a beer or two and some dead animals cooked on a fire and we are all set.

We are going to a free car show at a local bowling alley. Live music and BBQ Might have a cold beer. Then come home and get the hose out and stand watch in case our idiot neighbors illegal fireworks end up in the dry grass in the vacant lot next to our house.

Work, what else???

Don't you love it when the neighbor shoots the rockets at your place, they can't figure that out. Our old neighbor would shoot from the end of his driveway, and they would land in our pool or on our roof. I had to ask if it would be ok for me to shoot towards his house before he understood!!!!

If I was in the area I'd be over in a flash, well a subdued flash as these old legs don't go as fast as they used to, and my only worry would be that I'd scratch something on that beautiful ride helping out.
We're planning a BBQ and fireworks with the daughters families if the rain holds off.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

This is an exceptional 4th for us. Today we are barbequeing, then jumping in the pool and watching the fireworks from the back yard.

More importantly...tomorrow my signifigant other has a guest arriving that she's never met.....her older brother!

They were both adopted and haven't ever met. It's been 55 years since then, and though we had not been able to find him.....he found us!

He and his wife will arrive Saturday, then on sunday we will host a pool party/BBQ, so he can meet the kids and grand kids.

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend too!

You better watch out Ken, Brad C has been known to fly to some faraway State for a cup of coffee, or to fly to Florida to attend Turkey Run for 1 hour. You wave some ribs in front of his nose and he'll be camping out with you for a while.

Wow Jay, your GF must be really excited. Great story.

That's one of the best stories I've heard in a while. I'm so happy for her! I had been searching for a college buddy for 20 years, when we finaly connected this spring. All this time that she has been searching for her brother, I bet he was searching for her!
My neighbor found one of his brothers a few years ago. His Mom kept all of his sibblings, except for him. They are so alike, though raised by completely different families. They even have the same mannerisms and food likes and dislikes. Give him a big hug from all of us, and find out if he's into hot rods!

I like your version of the fourth, food, drink and cool cars! I miss not having any male friends that are into cars, locally. Most of our local friends and neighbors are buisness professionals that couldn't concieve why anyone would want to get greasy!

What are you doing for the Fourth?

reading this thread.........

I just went to Harbor Freight to get a new compressor ( my dad wants his at the other house ), later today Were hoping in the Rambler and going to the fireworks 2 towns over. On Sunday I'm taking the Rambler to a Carshow at the same location

I'm just sitting here soaking it up.Wife in the kitchen getting stuff ready for me to BBQ.The kids are coming over and we'll eat and enjoy life as it is .Can't go see the fire works that are downtown as my dog goes crazy at the sound of them.The neighbors will be shooting and running as It is illegal in the city.Will watch the Boston Pop on TV.

Enjoy the 4th.all and Prayers for our nation.

I'll take the coupe out for a short run thru the neighbor hood and that will make my day.
