Thread: What are you doing for the Fourth?

Tweet

I will probably go watch the local big fireworks dissplay, then come home and hang in the garage. My 2 week long vacation starts today and ive got no commitment for the whole 2 weeks. Never had nothing to do for the whole 2 weeks, I will think of something.

I'm going to work, I'll be the only one there....so I should be able to get something done.

We are having a BBQ, I only invited car people, so when they show up I'm going to be putting my motor back in my red roadster, so if they ask if I need a hand, HELL YES, little do they know they are going to work for that rib dinner

I’ll be there but it’s going to take a few days, I have to hitch hike from Indiana. Do you have any vegetarian ribs?

Richard- I will work on that for next year!!

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.

That's one of the best stories I've heard in a while. I'm so happy for her! I had been searching for a college buddy for 20 years, when we finaly connected this spring. All this time that she has been searching for her brother, I bet he was searching for her!
My neighbor found one of his brothers a few years ago. His Mom kept all of his sibblings, except for him. They are so alike, though raised by completely different families. They even have the same mannerisms and food likes and dislikes. Give him a big hug from all of us, and find out if he's into hot rods!

I like your version of the fourth, food, drink and cool cars! I miss not having any male friends that are into cars, locally. Most of our local friends and neighbors are buisness professionals that couldn't concieve why anyone would want to get greasy!

What are you doing for the Fourth?

reading this thread.........

Actually his parents died by the time he was 20, and never told him he was adopted. He found out about 6 months ago, when he applied for a passport.

The 82 year old uncle, who was with him at the passport agency, had been sworn to secrecy by the parents, but when he found out anyway, his uncle filled in the blanks! :-)

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.
We're planning a BBQ and fireworks with the daughters families if the rain holds off.

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!

How fortunate for your wife, my wife just came home from work, and I was telling her of your post. My wife said that is strange that you mentioned that because, where she works she is involved with the Poor Handmaids, an order of the Catholic sister’s. A man about 80 years old was inquiring of his wanting to find his Sister, that until recently didn’t have any knowledge of. Someone told him he had a Sister that was a Poor Handmaid. This man knows that time is very important if he will be able to find her. At this time all he knows is the fact that she is his Sister by birth and she is a Nun, she may not be alive but he is holding onto hope. Could you imagine that?
