Happy fourth to every one!

got up 7 am put on an old T shirt and shorts
went out fired up the smoker to 220 degrees
put on a couple briskets
sat down on the back deck and had coffie, while cooking ,reading the new Hot VWs mag man one day ill have one in there
once that was done went thru new Motorworks catalog
a little yard work (still cooking)
while srtiving my best to contain heat at 220 degrees BIG rain storm comes I throw a but load of wood on fire and head for house
rain leaves and fire dies down everything back to normal
finaly sat down for lunch at 3:00
my first brisket was good I am proud of my meat
visit with neieghbers over brisket and DR Peppers
they tell me brisket is good I am proud of my meat again
go out side shoot some small fire works waiting on dark for the big show
it strarts to rain again
kids complain about rain ruining 4th of july
we talk about it being OK and its not over yet
I go look at texas manx club web site write a post way too long

but in the end agree the United states of america is the only place
I can do all of the above with out a hassel from anyone
for those who fought and continue to fight for our freedoms
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Neat! I spent the day looking at the buggy in frustration, recovering..Friday I lifted the floorpan from passenger side to driver's side, like you would a book that's on the table..well, it slammed shut on my hand, as I was doing cleaning of the tube chassis.. I managed to pull it away, but my finger got smoooshed.. yesterday we did the xray, flouroscopy, etc.. lotsa lidocaine, lotsa steroids, but well on the way to recovery..my middle finger used to be a size 8/9 ring size, it was close to..ready for this? 20. Ouch!
