    I’m having some people over and got a bunch of pork ribs from Costco. Gonna use a Japanese bbq sauce. Starting the traeger at 6am for those bad boys.

    Wife is making a couple pitchers of mojitos.

    No fireworks. Hate the fucking things.

    Damn, @Chris Craig is having a feast! Just Lashanna and me. Grilling shrimp in lime and jalapeno marinade with corn on the cob. Latin influence deliberate. Then going to a protest.

    What could any of you possibly be celebrating tomorrow? I actually served for this country and am too embarrassed to even make a bowl of cereal!

    I'm with HCP on this one...nothing patriotic to celebrate this year. Just the wife and I will stay home and have corn on the cobb and oysters tomorrow with some smoked trout soup and rice with cherry turnovers. Garden salad and Taiwanese style steamed eggs. Wife gets the day off for the holiday.

    I had my last alcoholic beverage on the 4th of July nine years ago. Polished off the last of my Irish whiskey in Bend with my in laws. Sobriety rocks! Don’t miss it at all!

    We are meeting up at my in-laws for a BBQ. Both my kids are in town. Father in law served as well, but there will be no US flag waving going on tonight. Just a good meal and family time. Hope you all have a safe holiday.

    Yes, the current administration has made a mockery and an embarrassment out of our country. I don't agree with the majority of things they have done or are doing. I celebrate what this country is supposed to be, and what I hope it one day becomes.

    Not sure, but I do know this. I had breakfast yesterday at a diner located inside a Toyota dealership that had people sitting in massage chairs all over.
    Was pretty crazy.

    Hung with @e_blazer (a fairly recent addition to the 'hood) at the annual neighborhood 4th of July picnic. Always a good start to the day. Then home for kafta kebabs, Zucchini and baby new red potatoes on the Traeger, with a couple of adult beverages to provide supervision. Fuck Trump's Amerika, it's still been a good day (so far anyway................).
