What are you doing this 4th of July weekend?
« on: July 02, 2022, 12:29:15 am »
   Houstonians have inundated my town.  Us locals call them tublets.  They generate  $$$$ in sales tax and for that I don't mind giving up my beautiful rivers (still flowing) for 3 days. 
   I will smoke a brisket and my Brain, drink some and reflect on what Country, that I swore an Oath to in 71, has become.

This is my favorite holiday... The whole fam damily comes together and we have a big ol barbecue on the back porch of the big house. This year is going to be smaller than usual, because my sis and hers came out earlier in the spring... And my eldest son and his have a work conflict.

Normally I would reckon 50 to 75 people, kith and kin, But this year some less than that.

Still be a high ol time, with plenty of burgers and dogs and ribs, and tater salad, macaroni salad, watermelon, and every side you could think of...

And at least a couple grand in fireworks... Looking forward to that. The only benefit to losing Chewy earlier this year is that I don't have to get home to be with him before the fireworks start.

It is going to be brilliant. It always is.

We'll be staying home. Keeping my dog sane by being close during all the loud explosions is more important than hanging out and drinking beer with friends, also all the loud explosions and music just generate a major migraine for me. :shrug: My children and grandchildren will be hanging with friends and that is good, I will avoid watching any news programs because I am pretty sure the vast majority will be telling lies about how great we have it under socialist control. I think I will meditate on how much better it was when I was a kid.

When it comes to separating Californians from their Danero we go straight for the throat instead of pussyfooting around with sales taxes.

A gambling Mecca on one side of the Colorado River in Laughlin NV, and water sports rentals and beaches are on our side.  We charge them like 25-40 bucks a car, an extra C-note if you want to reserve a parking spot on the river with a private covered picnic table.  Townies get in for free on non-weekends.

I'll actually be working this weekend. I don't like it, but stuff has to get done and I am thankful for the paycheck.

I'll be making a batch of potato salad that my family loves (me, I'm not a fan) and hopefully cooking some short rib brisket burgers that I've been wanting to try on the grill if I can manage to dodge the rain long enough.

Normally the neighbors around us give off quite a display of fireworks.

P.S. Thank you for your service @corbe  - a huge debt of gratitude. Yes, I agree, it is difficult not to think of what our country once was.

   My 'Fear of Commitment' is apparently off the charts here. I have been dogless for almost two years, since, like when I was 6yo.

Yeah... mini ozzie to most folks... the true breed is a big dog. what I do is cow dogs... that's a smaller version.

She's Ozzie/Heeler... 2 years about 40 lbs... her look is tri-color ozzie, with a longer leg than a heeler... But she's got that short dense coat of a blue heeler, kinda heeler structure to her face, and blue eyes.

I ain;t altogether sure yet... Like I said, she's 2 years already. and spayed without ever giving pups (something I think needs to happen with females)... And she is mostly gentle and shy...but she has some bad habits that I would have trained out of her if I could start from scratch... But she is a proper cow dog, with a fair understanding of the language and sign between a cowboy and his dog - Wouldn't be long fixin that part.

But she currently likes to drift, is used to outdoor farm life, and is not socialized much at all. So problems.
But a whole lot of that is needing a job and imprinting on a man (which she ain't done yet).

So a hard maybe, but we'll see.  :shrug:

We've decided that Geronimo is our last pup.  We've had Lady our Doberman (15 yrs), Buster a Doberman/Ridgeback mix (14 yrs), Bruno a red-nose pit (10 yrs) and Geronimo a mix (Shepherd, Boxer, Akita, Whippet).  It's hard to lose a furry family member, and with our health we decided no more puppies.  We also lost a grandpuppy Lucas, who was an Aussie/Pit mix; he was like one of my own dogs.  They all still have a very special place in my heart; especially Buster and Lucas.  8888crybaby

   @Texas Robin 's chihuahua, Chris, got me through the hard times, after losing my Daschund, Penny, and that azzhole never tolerated me, kinda like his mom. 
    The way things are looking I'll have a new 'Rescue Dog' before I have another GF, as I have run out of excuses, my backyard neighbor built his damn fence.

I've had a dog all my life...from mutts to pedigrees...from shelters to rescues to breeders..you name it!

Even when my dad was stationed in Morrocco he got us a black cocker spaniel...

We lost two bullies this past year..about 6mos apart....I now have one bully and a cavashon..

I have always wanted a French bulldog but I am too old to start over with a new pup...so when these last two go that will be it...

   Another big reason for me to get a Dog.  That damn Cat is taking over everything.  Someone needs to put that evil bi1ch in its place and apparently, I haven't got the balls. 

   Heh, I've got some skin in this game.

I have swarms of kitty cats.....

I think I might make a pork tenderloin roast, we got them from Costco cheap (but good, we've already had some).  I got a good brown sugar rub recipe.

I have a lot of good fish in the freezer, and whenever we cook one Mrs. Liberty cuts a bunch of it out for the Cats!  They love the Mahi Mahi.
