The Fourth of July - History, Celebrations & Traditions

Learn about the traditions of Independence Day celebrations.

Our local parks and recreation use to have big events at all their locations. Greased pole climbing, greasy pig chase (don't know what the thing was about the grease) pie and watermelon eating contest, cookout, swim meet, softball games, just all sorts of activities. Today they barely have a fireworks show.

I got a brisket on, cooking it in the style we use to do in the restaurant days.

Whatch'all doin'?

Cleaned up the house a bit yesterday (Boss gave us some free vacation 1st thru the 5th) Going to be working in the hobby room today. Made a new engine plug master that just slides into place in the nose of the closed 109 E's Need to make the first casting today.

Enjoy your brisket Bob! I am sure it's going to be scrumptious!
 
Well I'm at the bench today, no surprise there, while the wife gets caught t up on some grading. We'll be grilling up some stakes later and setting out on the back deck watching the local fireworks. :Drinks:
 
Watching paint dry on a new landing and steps on the back porch.

I know the Southeners' have some strange habits, but watereating? Must be a very difficult and messy contest.

Celebrating 22 years of wedded bliss with the wife and making a Southwestern Quinoa salad to go with burgers and homemade fries. Might go up to the hill to see the fireworks over the lake since I'm not going near the crowds.
 
Happy Fourth everyone! I'll be heading to a friend's house who's having a BBQ. I'm bringing pork ribs and two pies I baked for the occasion. This is gonna be a blast!
