Got to see fireworks with the family and the "wow" and wonder in my son's face.

Great to be an American!

God Bless America!
 
I echo the sentiments of the other Hogs. I am proud to be an American.
Nice pictures, Skunk.

I was on the bay watching fireworks from San Francisco, Oakland and Sausalito :thumbup:

I think someone once said," You can judge a country by how many people want in, and how many people want out". Proud to be American!:thumbup:
 
4th was great as always....didn't go to sleep so much as passed out. Diddn't know my ass from my oboe at that point. There's no country I'd rather be.....except one: Surrounded by the Swedish bikini team about to attempt to get naughty with all of them, in a sauna at a resort in the alps (with a great snowboarding sesh to follow).....like that's ever gonna happen :p so there's no greater place I'll ever be then the good ol US of A!!! No greater place to be....except in my impressive imagination :D

It is, but that is a sore spot for Tony. You see the all fellas choir of SF kicked Tony out last year. Something about having too deep a voice or something. I hear they replaced him with Hogwash, which just sharpened the sting of the rejection. :D

Skunk, speaking of surviving and missing fingers, that reminds me of a story of one ill fated 4th of July. My dad, God rest his soul, was a nut about fireworks and explosives. He'd drive down to Tennessee with a buddy and buy thousands in fireworks. He had tubes buried out in our three acre field for launching aerial bombs and stuff. Well not too many years before he passed, no explosions were involved, he had long since dug up the tubes and stopped the neighborhood wide shows. He got one of his old tubes out and had it "secured" in a 5 gallon bucket of sand to launch from. Well old dad had this thing at the end of the drive way shooting stuff off and one of his aerial bombs didn't go. Instead it cooked off in the tube. Now dad was a rather portly fellow, somewhere around 300 pounds and all of 5'8", a man with a hearty appetite and a smoker. He knows the gravity of the situation so off he "runs". Well the thing explodes, craters the driveway and disintegrates the tube and bucket, there is sand everywhere. It blew the windows out of the garage door and knocked the cigarette out of his mouth. I think that was the last time dad messed with anything more than some firecrackers and bottle rockets. Dang I miss that old man. :D

Well Queen Gunner it did hurt.

But they got theirs. :grumpy: :grumpy: :grumpy:

I heard that Hogwash was shortly kicked out of the choir for the clandestine recording of all the “Hot” guy’s cell phone numbers.

Awesome pics, Skunk! And I have to agree; I'm proud to be an American. Even if--(sniff) I had to miss the fireworks!!

What?

I've never been in a choir by choice, I had to sing for music class in the third or fourth grade but that was it.

Yesterday I got to do some shooting, I broke in my new CA legal AR-15, a no feature removable magazine build, it was neat to fill up a 30 round magazine and keep shooting for what seemed like forever (compared to a 10 round fixed mag), I felt like I was in a movie where the guns never run out of ammo. Then I got to drink a few beers and shoot .22's at my friends place. There was a little comic relief when one of his ~neighbors came over and tried to tell us that shooting on a home range in an unincorporated area was illegal even though we had the section of the county code that proves her wrong.

Later that night I was in San Francisco doing the Santa Rampage, a pub crawl for people dressed as Santa Claus. It's real easy to get girls to sit on you lap and tell you what they want for Christmas when you're dressed as Santa. The tourists are completely amazed by the group and several lovely (and tall) Dutch girls told me what they want. It's much better than being Santa at Christmas time.

As for the Fireworks, they made some impressive glowing clouds, you couldn't really see anything going off except the type that make a stream of fire from ground level. The best part was that while most people went home after the fireworks, Santa Rampage continued by visiting a few more bars.

Naughty girls love Santa...

Man I love that city... If I could only convince the wifey to move out to that area...

And afford a house there...
And find a job there...
