Happy Independence Day!

Post by Georgezilla » Sun Jul 03, 2011 5:25 pm

I know the 4th is not until tomorrow, Monday, but I just wanted to get a jump start on wishing everyone a joyous and safe 4th of July celebration.

I know there are a few people here with essential occupation job titles that may be working tomorrow. With that in mind, I hope that people don't get too crazy with the spirits and fireworks so you guys can have a quite and safe night.

My city's fireworks will probably be down to two sparklers and a drunk waving a 6 inch Chinese made Old Glory.

Last year's display lasted all of 10 minutes, and the shots were about 30 seconds apart. Many people were very UN-patriotic in their complaints. But, I understand that with budget woes, some places have eliminated their fireworks completely.

I had my Fourth yesterday at the range. Made all the noise I could afford, 550 rounds through four guns. Was 95 degrees, but with some clouds and breeze it wasn't too bad.

Since he's a rescue diver I imagine he was searching for a lost soul.

Not too sure about the little greener, one of his favorite things to do is go out on Lake Michigan in February , cut a big hole in the ice and go for a swim, to great depths.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.

February is no time to be on th big lake... but cutting a hole in an inland lake with a chainsaw is good fun.

And bullseye is correct was a busy holiday weekend for rescue divers around here.
