What are your 4th of July plans?

Recommended Posts

I don't know what I'll actually do on the 4th. Maybe rest, eat leftovers and walk maybe a mile to the park and see the town's fireworks display. That's one benefit of living downtown in a small town, I can walk to EVERY event that the town offers. My wife and I love it. 

Now, tomorrow, my wife's family will be having a cookout, as her 81 year old mama's in town from half way across the country in Kansas.

Just hamburgers, hotdogs and smoked sausages this year. Didn't want to deal with boiling chicken or ribs. But between the chili, chili and slaw we should be alright. Gonna have baked beans, potato salad and corn on the cob as well, and I'm talking the good stuff, not that bland, near tasteless crap some people call baked beans or potato salad.

I am not too much of a drinker like I used to be many many years ago, but I may have a Steel Reserve Hard Pineapple (don't judge me), a glass of Black River Red (delicious if you like  muscadine or scuppernong wine), or maybe a few glasses of  Sweet Red by Carlo Rossi which is surprisingly good if you like sweet red wine ($15 bucks for a jug at Walmart).

It's going to be like a mini family reunion at my sister-in-law's 2 acre spread out in the country. We will have at least two corn hole games going on, maybe some horse shoes and bocce ball, as well as  at least a couple of games of spades. We will top it all off with fireworks in the evening.

    • Rags lost again. All is right in the hockey world. 
    • He’s responsible for two drafts classes. The first was one of the worst drafts I’ve ever seem. The second one is showing a ton of promise. I’m somewhere between skeptical and hopeful on Morgan. 
    • I'm a big fan of Dan. His ability to find productive players deep in the draft will pay off.  I'm going to give him 1.5 draft classes right now, because I do think it's a little unfair to evaluate his first year when he got the job in January, especially when we went into that draft not having a first round pick.  XL and Brooks are still big time TBD players. Both still have incredibly high ceilings, but both have also given us legitimate reasons to have a lot of pause. Trevin Wallace, Chau Smith Wade and Jatavion Sanders have IMO outplayed their draft position early in their careers. That's a great thing. He also got Coker and Demani Richardson as UDFAs that year. Given the situation we were in, I really don't mind the gamble on the high ceiling guys. Still may work out, still may not, but if you made a checklist of ideal situation for an NFL GM to walk into, ours was near the bottom of that list.  Every single 2025 pick is contributing in some way. That typically doesn't happen. I am absolutely blown away by this draft class 6 games in. Even the best GM's miss on occasion, and we can't expect Dan to be 100% on drafts moving forward. Ryan Fitzgerald was an excellent find as well.  Comparing our last two drafts to the previous few is pretty shocking. Can you imagine this season without our Rookies? It would not be good. Additionally, this roster only has 6 players with more than 6 years of experience, and two of those are specialist.  The next step is equally important, and still very much TBD. We have to avoid Cap Chaos.
