Happy Fourth, folks! Blow up part of your country with a celebratory explosive for me!

Blowing up things reminds me of the Polaris ballistic missile I painted with a patriotic design in 1976. I was assigned to a submarine base and they wanted their missile done up for the bicentennial. Unfortunately, I have no photo.

It would be classified information if you did.

Think of it as national " Hey y'all watch this" day.

BBQ at my uncle's place with like 30 other relatives, interspersed with time swimming and boating on the water, going to see fireworks by boat in a bit. Glad I'm home for the 4th this year!
Yes, I have a life. It's quite different from yours.

Was an absolutely wonderful 4th for us. Actually got to go on a DATE with TAFL. <sigh> It was great. We stopped by and got fast food and sat in a park watching people tee off with disc golf, went and got HUGE ice cream cones and headed home.
Just a couple hours, but since I haven't even had that since I started school, it was bliss.
Hope everyone had a safe holiday.

Had a great 4 day weekend with mowing, parade, breakfasts, car repair, dinner and fireworks with parents, friends in from out of town, and then an epic battle with a bunch of brush yesterday topped by a rare Sunday bonfire. And the poison ivy doesn't look too bad. That soap really works.

I think you defined the American experience in one day!
Except for beer. You didn't mention beer.

I thought that was just a given. Both beer fridges nearly empty by Sunday night!
