You better watch out Ken, Brad C has been known to fly to some faraway State for a cup of coffee, or to fly to Florida to attend Turkey Run for 1 hour. You wave some ribs in front of his nose and he'll be camping out with you for a while.
Wow Jay, your GF must be really excited. Great story.

I bolted the Flex-A-Lite fan to my Zip mount and messed with shim washers to to keep the fan blades away from the alternator by about 1/16" but then went with the grandkids to the big celebration at Yorktown. They got their feet into the York River on the sandy beach long enough to see some jellyfish up close and we had a pretty good time with free music and a crowd estimated at 20,000. The Internet advertised "classic cars" but we saw nary a one. Then it started to rain! The kids wanted to see the fireworks and they fired them in the rain and it was the best fireworks I have ever seen! The kids enjoyed the great fireworks even in the rain and I will have to wait until they go home to get back in the garage and finish installing the Zip fan and the Walker shroud.

If I was in the area I'd be over in a flash, well a subdued flash as these old legs don't go as fast as they used to, and my only worry would be that I'd scratch something on that beautiful ride helping out.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!
This is an exceptional 4th for us. Today we are barbequeing, then jumping in the pool and watching the fireworks from the back yard.
More importantly...tomorrow my signifigant other has a guest arriving that she's never met.....her older brother!
They were both adopted and haven't ever met. It's been 55 years since then, and though we had not been able to find him.....he found us!
He and his wife will arrive Saturday, then on sunday we will host a pool party/BBQ, so he can meet the kids and grand kids.
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend too!

Parade, carnival, rodeo, fireworks. Add a beer or two and some dead animals cooked on a fire and we are all set.

We are going to a free car show at a local bowling alley. Live music and BBQ Might have a cold beer. Then come home and get the hose out and stand watch in case our idiot neighbors illegal fireworks end up in the dry grass in the vacant lot next to our house.
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

Don't you love it when the neighbor shoots the rockets at your place, they can't figure that out. Our old neighbor would shoot from the end of his driveway, and they would land in our pool or on our roof. I had to ask if it would be ok for me to shoot towards his house before he understood!!!!
