I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July. For once I had the day off. I even had the 3rd off. I went by my Uncle's house on the 3rd and drank some of his beer. It was Bud Lite (I can't stand Lite beer), but I'm not the kind of guy that will turn down free beer. My Uncle showed off some of his guns he'd gotten recently, too.
We've been getting threatened lately by an estranged family member (I use the term "family member" loosely since he married into the family and isn't blood related) that is ticked because he didn't get any of my late grandad's dogs after he passed. Stupid reason, but the guy is a nutjob anyway. We've put a restraining order on him, but we've also heightened security measures such as adding more locks to our gates and so on. But I can tell my Uncle definitely isn't taking any chances. He gave us one of his older handguns. Just in case. I've never been the biggest gun person, but having one in the house is somewhat calming. We don't have any kids over or anything like that so there's nobody that's just going to grab it and do something stupid.
Then yesterday my brother came by and we had steak and corn on the cob and more beer. We might've done a couple shots of whiskey, too. Well, maybe more than a couple.
We played some video games together for the first time in about a decade. It was a really good two days. We didn't go anywhere. Didn't shoot any fireworks. I had to be early this morning for work. but it was still a really good time.
