so what are you guys doing?

I am blowing stuff up the RIGHT way (eg, a few pounds of smokeless powder, among other things)

Also, if you live somewhere where you do nothing on the fourth, you dont count.

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna head over to Nae and UBT's place if they're still considering doing stuff on Friday. Otherwise, I dunno, I'll probably just stick around the house.

I'll work until four or five then sit around doing nothing the rest of the night.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

I'm going to go over to my friends places near the local community college that does a big fire works show every year. We'll play Munchkin alot among a few other things while anyone over or near the drinking age gets plastered.
What's this thing do?
That would be sooo cool if it wasn't going to hurt us.

Have a cook-out with the family. Maybe go to a pool party. Then go see the local fireworks. Followed by coming home and making the previously seen fireworks look like they were done by n00bs.

I normally have Fridays off from work anyway, and my friends around here don't do anything special. Most likely it'll just be the usual routine for me.

On the other hand, if I get Sunday off, I might grab some friends and take a long drive to the tail end of this blasted island, just to say we've been there.

We are doing a cookout. I have also rugged up my larger R/C helicopter with cheap launch tubes for those really small bottle rockets. I have 5 on each side that are tied to seperate remote glow ignitors. People have been wanting to see my new Caliber in the air so I figure this is a good chance to really get flashy. =)

I'd be grilling, but I lack the grill.

I think we'll just be setting off explosives because it's fun.

Which reminds me, I need to get some of the little green army men.

Gonna walk down to the river and watch the fireworks from there. Maybe try to get pictures; I'm actually curious about how well fireworks would show up in a shot. It'd be interesting to experiment with, anyway.

The best part would probably just be the walk down. I love walking at night.

But anyway.

Most likely doing some stuff with friends in the afternoon, grilling out with folks, setting off one of those huge multi-packs of fireworks, then going to one of the neighborhoods on the hill overlooking the lake, and watching fireworks go off in about three towns at once and at people's houses along the waterfront. Just hope it doesn't rain, given its Seattle.

Partying with my 40+ family members like there's no tomorrow!

First I'll be out on one of four boats all day and burning my ass off, then followed by the traditional family barbecue, then the big ass fireworks show that's showing over at the beach, then the little fireworks show we put off for the little ones, and if the teenagers will get bored we'll just drive off and do our own damn thing together. Fun stuff.

How close to do you live to there? As for what I'm doing, since I live out in the country (though I don't particularly like it out here) I'm shooting stuff off today since I'm going to Chicago for the 4th. After that to my dad's in Wisconsin.
