The extra cash is going out the tailpipe rather than up in smoke with a matchstick perhaps. I for one am glad around here as I have heard a few but not like last year when the 4th starts on June 15th and doesnt end till July 15th. Our animals do not like the fireworks at all. They dont bother me on the 4th as I like the displays. Have a great fourth Jim

Have a great fourth Jim

hope you and all of our folks here have a really good one as well

64 on its way to 81 later today .... looks like we've missed a morning thunder storm that moved through just south of us .... other cells are in the area so we may have a chance later this morning ..... our plan to have 4 family members join us for breakfast has been delayed for an hour to allow this weather system to move on .... yep, as this is being typed rain is coming down .... nothing else on tap for today

around 4AM a thunderstorm rolled in and is still hanging on .... this is the first significant rain we've seen in the month we've been in South Dakota .... a family breakfast set for 9AM is on hold .... for the first time this year, right after dark last night fireworks could be heard in all directions .... with the area being so dry, that was a concern which has totally been alleviated ....

I really dislike fireworks. If you want to see bombs bursting in air join the Army like I did. I guess when you’ve seen the real thing playing doesn’t have much appeal. Sorry to rain on your parade.

summer heat has returned for the 4th in east central South Dakota .... 92 with a RealFeel® of 98° .... we enjoyed a hamburger cookout with family for lunch .... tonight will be leftovers .... we highly recommend Green Mountain Grills baked bean recipe ===> https://greenmountaingrills.com/reci...t-baked-beans/ .... see post in this thread ===> http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.p ... 8e#p202087 .... last night we were pretty well surrounded by small neighborhood fireworks displays .... not much have been staged today but that will probably pickup around dark .... no large commercial shows scheduled anywhere nearby ....

I was going into town to a street fair but it’s raining hard so I’m going to stay home.

we haven't cranked our truck in several days and may well not do so for a couple more .... its a 40+ mile round trip to the nearest large shopping area so we are trying to make our trips count

I make a 28 miles round trip for a latte almost everyday. Today I’ll pick up diesel for the tractor too.

Gene, got to get your daily latte. Lucky for us it a 10 minute drive at 35 mph to get a great latte.
