Happy 4ty of july from your friendly local engkishman!

Hope you all have some good safe fun.

Whatcha all planning?
 
Just another day here. Got up at 2:30 this morning, Connie left for work at 3:30, then I went to the shop. Trying to keep my one older dog calm while assholes shoot off fireworks. Going to be a fun night, got to be up at 2:30 again tomorrow. This is probably my least favorite holiday.
 
I like the weather at this time of the year, but loathe the drunk jerks blowing off the illegal fireworks at 11:30 pm. My dog doesn't mind the noise (thankfully), but like John, I get up at dawn and need sleep! Ha!

I can relate, my dog does not like the noise either (14yrs old). Thunderstorms are even worse. Gave her a Benadryl yesterday to calm her down a little.
Also why is it that they wait until midnight to start lighting fireworks. {Rant over}
 
We always take th ekids tosee whatever fireworks are close, normaky at a fair distance becuse they dont kike the bang either ;)
 
Happy late 4th guys!

Its been an eventful weekend. We went and seen the fireworks show Sunday night over the Mississippi River. They always seem to try and out do themselves every year and this year was no exception. The final 'hoo-ra' of fireworks was almost a constant explosion there were so many going off at once.

Yesterday, we just hung out by the pool and cooked burgers and hot dogs. We tried to light our own fireworks at night, but the mosquitos are so bad in our woods they drove us back inside within 30 minutes. Its hard to enjoy time outside when your dancing around slapping yourself the whole time!

Saw that on FB! Sad thing is that I like my dogs more than I like most people.

Ain't that the truth! Here's a dog that doesn't like most people...our LPD K9 Santos or, as I call him...Mr. Lawpaws. I recently had the chance to do four hours of building search and bite training with him. His skills are incredible. I brought him a pig ear which he enjoyed at home later.

My wife and I worked outside all day Sunday n Monday. Neighbor above me kept shooting off "air bombs" all day. Scares the hell outta when your not expecting it. Might have to get some payback next year.😉
