The smoked sausage and beans are in the pot.

This time, I used navy beans in cajun seasoning to give the BBQ sauce just a little kick, plus just a hint of mesquite smoked seasoning from Weber. I have the potatoes cooling in the fridge for potato salad with everything cut up and ready to go, with cracked pepper kettle chips, sweet corn, watermelon and strawberries standing by and a big jug of iced tea at the ready.

Flag is out, flapping in the breeze.

Good day sunshine.

Planned on Brats, beer steamed with peppers and onions, and then grilled. Ma Nature laughed. On to plan B. So its oven baked bacon, skillet fried O’Brian potatoes, eggs to order, and buttered, toasted muffins. Chilled white vino ’cause it seems just a bit bad to have wine with a breakfast meal.
And I’m OK with that.
Brats tomorrow,perhaps.

A gentleman named Jack Taylor passed recently at age 94. He was the multi-billionaire founder of Enterprise Rent-A-Car. He was also a naval aviator in WW2 flying F6F Hellcats off an aircraft carrier named – The Enterprise. RIP Mr. Taylor.

Happy 4th of July, everyone. This morning’s news is that a refrigerator truck packed with explosives blew a shopping mall building to pieces in Baghdad.

Oh, and the Iraqi government paid $40 million to a British man who sold them fake bomb detectors that were actually designed to find golf balls. That’s where our aid money goes.

Anyone who thinks that crap won’t show up here at some point is just plain nuts, completely out of touch with reality. It already showed up some time back with the Oklahoma City truck bomb. Remember that one?

Taking guns away from US citizens is not the answer to solving the problem.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this,… Read more »
