As most of you know (or should know) tomorrow is the 4th of July. Big holiday in the U.S., so we are celebrating big.

Tomorrow night I'm going over to a friends house where they are have a huge party. Lots of fireworks, food and alcohol. It's going to be relatively warm so there's going to be lots of outdoor water games. This can be extremely fun when your half drunk and feeling very little pain. Plus as a bonus, almost everything is funnier, even when it's not.

On Saturday, time to spend the day out on the lake fishing, swimming, drinking beer and eating BBQ. After that, we're all heading over to T's house to play cards.

Sunday, is time to clean up the house and get my to-do list done. I did manage to fix the attic window already, so that's scratched. I've still got a long list of things that need to be done.
