July 4th plans?

Just BBQing. I also have to work from 7am to 3pm but hey, its time and a half, so I'm not complaining.

Btw, the awesome fireworks (i.e. the ones that explode in the air) aren't sold in DC or MD, yet people in my block always manage to wrangle some every year.

If anyone knows in DC, MD, NoVA where I can get some last minute illegals, I'd love to know!

(Yes, I'm a bad girl. :))


closest place for you is PA. You take 95N to 70W about 40 mins past hagerstown and you'll see the signs for phantom fireworks.

I actually picked up some awesome fireworks at some close-to-wholesale prices in MO on my way back from Iowa. There are huge fireworks warehouse stores at almost every exit on whatever interstate we were on (not sure if we had hit 64 yet...) and competition brings some great prices. Also, most of the guys are complete rednecks and will sell you a smal amount of class b stuff without a license if you slip them a twinkie! Got some 3" mortars this year...

I'll be at my mom and stepfather's place on the lake. Just grillin and chillin.

I will also spend a good part of the day making excuses to my mom why I don't want to go out on their pontoon boat with them. She gets irritated when I don't join in with what everyone else is doing. On the 4th, the lake is crowded, the water's rougher and my stepfather can't drive that boat worth a crap. He scares the snot out of me trying to park that thing. I'd much rather spend my time on the shore.

You should just have a couple of shots of Tequila and go with... I'd kill to go out on a boat and watch some fireworks.

We're having a fish fry cooking up some of the fish we brought back from Minnesota a few weeks ago. Crappie, Walleye and lots of Bass. Also setting of lots of fireworks, chilling in the pool, drinking Patron, red beers, and black and tans, and smoking some good cigars. Gonna be a good day.
