    Today is the kind of day (and it's only been an hour and a half since I got to work) that you clock watch...

    OTOH, got plenty to look forward to this weekend...

    Going to the movies tonight (Lets see if Arnies' still got it in Terminator:Genysis)

    Tomorrow, doing some painting around the house (gotta love a new house with matte white walls...)

    Saturday, heading out to the park for the day, just gonna relax and chill

    Sunday, going out to the rifle range to punch holes in paper (maybe I'll scribble "TPS Report" on them first)

    So, if you're in the US, got anything interesting planned this weekend? If you're not in the US, anything fun going on?

    Saturday we are having about 20 people over for a big celebration. We live in a city outside of Kansas City and they allow fireworks. Our neighborhood is always full of people on the fourth. Nearly everybody has a party on our cul-de-sac. I am tossing a couple pork shoulders and 15 - 20 slabs of ribs on the smoker. In previous years when there is little wind in the evening you barely across the street there is so much fireworks smoke and stuff is going off everywhere.

    How much of a difference will it make having the 4th on a Saturday? Would you go to this much trouble if it was a weekday?
