Work Monday. Off the 4th. Really my fault for not putting in for a personal day. :( But was smart enough to have BLACK FRIDAY off this year and Christmas week. Still have 1 week of vacation to use yet.

I`m working today and tomorrow. They scheduled me for 7-4 tomorrow so at least I get an early afternoon

surprisingly nobody in my neighborhood shot any fireworks over the weekend

My neighborhood started Saturday night, which I am okay with, as long as it ends this weekend!
 
The Fourth of July comes pretty close to being the same wherever we have lived: No Eagles involved. Alas, often only Turkeys. Cool image though, MaryB. Thanks.

Canada Day (July 1, for you "Southerners") always seemed to have a little respect for the living, be it humanoids or pets/animals, but it hath been a few decades since living in Canader, and several other states/provinces. We hold paws and hooves until the whole thoughtless multi-day orgy finally wears its self out. Amazing, how stupido humans can be?

Me thinks we lived in every state/province who appeared to invent drunk drivers and people who like to blow off their fingers.

Come t`think of it, our National Symbol is largely a carrion eater? "Ben Frankie" had a better suggestion with putting a turkey as the national bird. Albeit, Bird Brains DO seem to shine on the Fourth of July? My hat`s off, to the cops, paramedics, vets (only $900 for us nearly a decade ago) and dealing with turkeys shooting large ariels over our pastures in WA. And insane fireworks where we have lived for 12 years.

The `Fourth`, is a Cheap Drunk?

Or, not-so-cheap-drunk, depending on how much fire power is needed to light up up your Ars?

Nothing at all, to do with the original intent of the holiday. Pardon me, I have to text a bunch o`people who don`t "Light Up".

Be Safe.
 
I worked today also. The office was closed, but we had to use a vacation day if we wanted to take it off. Since I am on call this week, it didn`t make sense for me to take it off since I could have been called in and I am salary so I wouldn`t have been paid for it anyways. I am a I.T. Systems Admin for local government. We support Police, Fire, EMS, a dispatch center, Liquor Stores and a number of other enterprise facilities, we have a large work plan\load for a small staff. I could work 24 hours a day and never finish what I have on my plate. I usually head to the cabin on the 4th, but I have been on call the last two years. I am off tomorrow, but have to be available in case of emergencies so low key for me.

I might tinker with my car tomorrow, but I should really line up some other cars since mine is a DD and I keep it in as good shape as possible. IMO it`s more fun to work on cars that need some TLC because the results are night and day.

I just picked up a couple of "THE CYCLONE 10X PREMIUM KOREAN MICROFIBER BLUE WASH PAD" from TRC. I am excited to give them a try.

Happy 4th all!

3:45 is no joke. Wow. I get in by 5 am -5:30 am most days and I though that was a challenge.
