    Tomorrow I'll be running the local Firecracker 5k with a group of old college friends. $100 goes to the winner (I got it in the bag). Afterwards I'll be smoking a pork shoulder and consuming copious amounts of good beer while reminiscing of the great college days with friends.

    Will hopefully be able to go fishing either Saturday or Friday morning. I'll just be relaxing with the wife and baby girl the rest of the long weekend.

    Doing some landscaping tomorrow morning for some extra cash. Then from there going to put my first trail cam out in the woods to get that going. Topping the evening of by grilling some steaks and having a few cold ones. Then taking the girlfriends son to watch some good fireworks. Friday we're going to visit my folks who are camping. Gonna do a "low country boil" with them and some of their friends. It should be a great weekend.

    Traveling, but stopping over the evening of the 4th at Mt. Rushmore to pay homage to this once great nation, and hoping that we will once again return the the nation that I grew up believing in.

    Until 2011, they had a massive fireworks display over Mt Rushmore, but no longer do this. :sad:

    Then continuing on our road trip to Yellowstone! Can't wait to get off work and get it started.

    Not much in the way of plans here in my part of Bama, 100% chance of rain today and the next two days. It's been pouring all day and flood warnings are out.

    I'm learning that working for a smaller company has it's perks for holidays. Since no one was going to come in, and those that were going to come in, weren't going to do anything, the company just decided to make Friday a holiday as well!

    I'll be enjoying some striper fishing and drinking enough beer to drown a man and probably cooking up various kinds of fresh seafood.

    Sounds like a great weekend. Just don't "shoot the empties" while consuming copious amounts of good beer. :D

    My youngest daughter, who is in the Navy, is flying in tomorrow at 1:00. She is currently attending A School at Monterrey, CA (the Defense Language Institute) learning Mandarin Chinese. I know she needs a break and I really look forward to seeing her. It's going to be a great weekend. :tu:
