grasshopper Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 sure glad a have a LOW weather forecast system. Looking out the window to the east, a black wall. In about 15min, an inch of rain and some pea size hail came down. Good thing I didn't seek shelter on top of the flagpole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't wait or ask for govt help fixing things like trash accumulation at the lake ... left by out of towners... We just arrange a day and we all go pickin'. If a neighbors needs a hand, someone will be there. I paid for a commercial water hook up because the gal that needed it only had enough for a residential... I used to cut the grass at the park... simply because it needed done. Nobody asked or paid for it... I'm not blowing my own horn... this is what folk do around here. Govt doesn't mind us doing that. They insist we involve them in matters of law enforcement. Bad people used to just disappear. ............. Abandoned mines might have a "resident" or two... Frontier justice? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 It's gonna be very quiet around here ... unless I make noise. Boy is in MT, wife in IL. I'm all by my lonesome might get to watch some fireworks. One of the ranches has been doing a display for the last 5 or 8 years. Don't know about this year. We/I can see it from here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Town's Bi-Centennial this year so supposedly have 6k tubes ready to launch. No ground display. Funny thing is I think the Mayor is losing it. Usually held at the fairgrounds but since it's 200 years today he's moved them to a park fairly close to downtown. Ummm, like a block away from the main drag? Hope the fire department is at the ready. Thinking about a guest appearance. 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 4, 2021 Moderators Share Posted July 4, 2021 I don't do fireworks. I burn enough money up already, but I do like them. But we live in the country and it seems most of the locals have more money to burn than me so they go crazy, all I have to do is go outside to see them. The dogs panic when they hear fireworks. So if the dog's wanders to long somewhere in the yard and we need to get them back in I just shoot a bottle rocket in the air and they come running full speed and jump at the door to get in. . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 There's a biker bar a couple houses down from me right now. Their colors? Red White Blue & ... saw their works on the way back to the new camp-site of mine. Snagged a pic for ya Willie when I got out of my brothers car, missed the good ones. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
