Happy 4th of July!

After receiving two full inches of rain last night, things are pretty wet this morning. Despite this, our plans to go out in the boat to enjoy the fireworks tonight have not changed. According to the weather radar things should be clear, if humid, for the rest of the day...knock on wood. I plan to make the traditional beer brats steeped in onions on the grill, cold beer, baked beans, and salad. There only will be four of us this year but we'll be thinking of all you as we sit out in the boat swatting mosquitoes tonight. OOOOOHHHHHH, AAAAAAHHHHHH (slap, slap, dang it).
