Independence Day

MrGrumpy got up early and went out for a walk / jog, he did not manage to jog very far before his leg knotted up and he generally reverted to walking.

It was already looking like a nice hot day was to follow. Back in the street, people were busy setting up chairs and BBQs ready for the days events. The local community have a little parade with kids, dogs, cars, bikes and a couple of floats, obviously with quite a few stars and stripes.

MrGrumpy got to meet a few more of the locals, he met MrEngineCollector who had a workshop full of stationary engines / pumps and yard full of old carts. There was also Mr55Chevy who had a 55 Chevy and several motocycles in various states. MrAirCon was relaxing with a beer after working the BBQ and avoiding the water bomb fights that were going on.

DJ MrBoyBand wanted to buy an iDevice for a friend so MrGrumpy met up with him and gave him a lift to one of the local malls. While they were having a pint, emails were being exchanged between MrBombsAway and MrFullFatCoke trying to arrange a time we would meet up for a BBQ this evening.

After some confusion over what time they were all going to meet up, MrGrumpy collected DJ MrBoyBand and MrFullFatCoke the drove them over the the BBQ.

MrBombsAway and Mr7LtrVette were great hosts, after a beer they all went to look at the Corvette and various other vehicles in the garage. Mr7LtrVette took them all out for a "quick" little jaunt in the Corvette.
"Quick" was an understatement, with 0-60 in the 3.x seconds and a top speed of lots, all three of them came back grinning.

The steak that Mr7LtrVette expertly cooked in the BBQ was excellent, one of the best streaks MrGrumpy had eaten, most defiantly the best cooked on a BBQ (it was also about the size of a roast that he and LittleMissNaughty would normally have).
