Was perfect.Filled the moat,raised the drawbridge,hoisted the FTW flag next to Old Glory and ignored the rest of whatever was going on.Didnt bother nobody and nobody bothered me.
drove up to MD to visit family for my wifes 21st birthday on the 3rd. Then drove home on the 4th back down to NC and hit that bad rain in VA beach area, it was bad driving the F100.
We spent a pretty traditional fourth. We went to the Lions club pancake breakfast in the park and ate and visited with a few friends and then went to the local Wild West parade that my aunt happened to be one of grand marshals for this year. She got to ride in a pretty spiffy 61 Chevy Ragtop Then my son called and said he was doing ribs and come on down and we did. he had his hands full with a bum right arm though After we ate and picked some cherries in their orchard we headed home and watched the fireworks from the Casino out in the side yard with the dog and cat.
Mrs Jalopy and I stayed at Paperdogs cabin, took in the stockcar races at Oglivie Mn, Saturday evening - which ended with some great fireworks, took in a car show in Fynlandson Mn, Seen a Rod Stewart tribure concert at Hinkley Mn which ended in a Hidge Fireworks display, and on the fourth toured the lake on Paperdog, and Naadines pontoon boat. Talked a lot of old cars and had a great fourth.
