Well…damn, I’m glad the 4th is over…it was like a damn war zone up here last night with all the fireworks and the only thought I have is where the hell do they get the money to spend thousands on fireworks? It went on and on last night from dusk until 11 and my whole house smelled like a giant firework….that’s something I am going to bring up with the city commissioners when I talk to them later this summer….didn’t get up til almost 7 this morning and that makes me late to do this and will make me late to get on the bike but I may only do one ride today…the wind is supposed to blow 20 mph this afternoon and I’m not sure I want to work that hard….and there are warnings to stay out of the lake today with waves that are forecast to be 3 to 5 feet with rip currents…and with the wind that strong, it will mean a sandblast day so the beach is out today…I do want to get out there sometime this week to get some color and I’m thinking of doing a whole week on the beach for that…I do have to get out to depot this morning to get a pump sprayer to attack the weeds and crab grass without spraying the whole lawn but I’m not sure if I’ll do that today with the rain that is coming later….more later…
