American Independence day (4th of July) - weekend plans? (Page 2)

Seeing as many fireworks shows as I can.  Floating and boozing the Truckee.  Biking to Chambers for punch.

How very responsible of you.  Kuddos.

I am at a loss for what to do on the 4th.  I usually have a boat load of people over to swim and partake in backyard championships.  Later we would view the awesome display of illegal fireworks shot off by our back yard neighbors.  HOWEVER, they seemed to have vanished.  The put a for sale sign up and now three weeks later they have sold and moved out.  Oh what to do, what to do!!!!

Argh!

It gets old competing on holidays when you you have to "behave" all 3-day weekend, and get up at dawn on race morning... Memorial Day I had a tri - so Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday - no "alkiehol."  Same with this weekend July 4th - off on Friday and must not partake - dont' want to get dehydrated... Saturday behave and up at 5AM Sunday.  Oh well, the price we pay to compete. 

Sunday afternoon I can finally kick back with several.  

I'm doing this, then drinking beer and eating many calories...probably a nap as well.

Actually I don't heckle....yurts are cool ,and it's a fun word to say

Yurt, yurt, hurt, squirt, yurt, dirt, dessert, yurt........... 

He said "squirt". heh heh

I'll be solving the worlds problems on an early am century ride.

Need to get my IM training back on track.

I have a sneaking suspicion I'll be spending most of the long weekend on the bathroom renovation with a couple of firework shows in between.  It shall be so much fun, I want to hurt literally hurt myself!

Working....in the Middle East.

And  no, we won't get any comp time later.....

Run and strength training at the fitness center in the morning.

Was going to go watch fireworks over Lake Aberdeen in the evening with a friend but I found out this afternoon that they will be having Christian and country music bands. YAK! No thank you. Need to find other plans.

My nephews are going to camp for a week on Saturday, so maybe I'll stay home and do stuff with them instead. I know they've been building their 4th of July things-that-go-boom stash to celebrate. Maybe we'll grill and have beer.
