Since I didn't see a thread on what people plan to do tomorrow...I'll start it off.

Tomorrow I'll be heading out with my parents to visit my brothers gf (who is pregnant with twins) and parents house.

Hopefully the weather lets up cause its a pretty shitty day here in MD.

Anyway, they have a pool and plan on having a BBQ...I think.

Not sure if i'll see any fireworks and to be honest, I really don't care too.

What do y'all have going on tomorrow?

Fireworks tonight. I'm working for a few hours tomorrow, simply because I'll get paid for a full day PLUS holiday pay. Other than that, it's up in the air.

Going to visit my girlfriend's family. I think we're fixing a deck in the morning. Other than that, I have no clue.

Going out to the lake for the day with the whole family (brothers, sister in-laws, parents, grandparents and all the nieces and nephews). Gonna take my little man fishing for the first time. Finish the day off with a bon fire and fireworks.

I'm pretty excited, just hope all the attitudes hold up :rolleyes:

I will be working most of the day on Veteran's issues, in my office and visiting the local Vets in the Hospital. At night, I plan on watching Gettysburg and Gods and Generals. The wife is in Indy with my daughter so I am home alone............ spending time with my only friends Simon (the cat) and Charlotte (the dog).

We are probably just hanging out grilling some meat and drinking some beers, fireworks are probably going to be moved to a rain date with all of the storms and lousy weather we have had around here lately. Might run down to DC to visit some friends but don't know yet.

Lol now we have been introduced to Eds Mom? Pics or it didn't happen.

I will be working for 8 hours, but being paid for 24, so that is something I can't pass up. After work we will be grilling and having a few drinks.

Hey everyone, didn't want to start a new thread but I wanted to wish each of you a Happy 4th of July! Enjoy the beer and burgers today, fireworks if they are around. I know most bases canceled fireworks this year to save money, but lets not forget that people laid down their lives for our freedom. Take a minute today for a moment of silence, then press on with the festivities. A little FYI
Fireworks displays go back as far as the first Fourth of July celebration, with a show held in the air above Philadelphia July 4, 1777. The organizers? Members of the Continental Congress. "That was a time in the [Revolutionary] War when things weren't going well," Time quotes American University's Librarian Emeritus James Heintze as saying. "It was a morale builder."
Happy 4th everyone! :beer:

Happy 4th everyone!!! Almost all theaters are offering AD military (some places are offering it for vets too) free admission for you and a guest to see White House Down TODAY only. I don't know if the movie is good but it's free and it's always nice when you can do a cheap date... Hope everyone enjoys the time off from work and makes some memorable moments!

Few pics of the family fun!

Had an awesome day at the lake with family and friends. Taught my son what today was about, took him fishing where he caught his first (and second through eighth) fish, then blew up some fireworks. Best 4th I've had in a long time.

Here's a pic of the little guy.

Redneck flagpole.

Dad and I finished the first of our three flagpoles today. BBQ, beer, neighborhood fireworks show. Was pretty much a blast.

Side note, nothing quite as funny as the dumbass neighbor who spends a grand+, builds a custom table to launch shit off, with all his big shit stored underneath, only to light off some dumbass sparkler thing, and have a half dozen of his mortar rounds light off from it, at ground level.

Had a blast with the kids swimming in the lake, until their grandmother tried flexing her power telling me its her house for a 3rd time and giving the kids stuff I told her not to. We left. We were the last of my girlfriends siblings to even try going out there. No one wants to deal with her. We are putting together a separate lake event at another lake so we can actually enjoy it. Sad people have to flex their power and say shit. Well I don't put up with it. The kids did not understand why she kept breaking the rules.

I was like that as the payroll person for shelling. People gotta get paid.

This school job they stack holidays with 2 days cause we don't get a lot of them. Like 5 a year.
