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.

    • I really think Bryce has been given so much time due to what they've put around him. In a vacuum, he hasn't been good enough. But I think we tend to be overly judgemental with him because he's our QB. Every fan base does it. You see every mistake, not just the highlights/lowlights. I've listened to Cowboys fans crap on Dak and Ravens fans crap on Lamar.  How many WRs from Bryce's rookie season are still making plays today? Probably a few starting olinemen from that year are out of the league too. Hell even his HC is out of the NFL and his OC is a TE coach right now. How many WRs from last season, Bryce's second year (other than the rookies) are making plays in the NFL today? And now in his third year, he's been passing to rookies and second year players. And the only one that was highly touted was TMac. Heck Coker wasn't even drafted, and he's easily been the second best receiver on the team. And let's not even get started on how bad the defense has been. When a team is constantly playing from behind, and/or being ran off the field (time of possession), it greatly impacts the offense's chemistry and playcalling. Look at the young QBs that are playing well right now. All of those teams have great defenses. Houston, Denver, Patriots, Cleveland, even the Saints defense has been on a bit of a tear recently.  I agree he needs to be more consistent. But to be fair, so does his supporting cast. He had some horrible fumbles early in the season. I beat him up over that just like everyone else. But we wouldn't have said that if it was Stafford. We would have rightly blamed it on the oline for allowing jail breaks when they weren't even outnumbered on blitzes, and to top it off he was throwing to a bunch of young receivers. He killed teams for blitzing him the end of last season. I don't think he forgot what to do. I think his receivers didn't know what to do. They were all young and new, other than XL, and DCs exploited that. The team is developing right now. And amazingly Bryce is playing better. Funny how that works. Let's just enjoy the ride and see where it takes us. Getting there is half the fun, and the team is actually ahead of schedule.
