Happy Treason Day from Festung Ben, Idaho territory. My flagpole just arrived yesterday and dang it, I coulda had a Betsy Ross Flag arrive in time as well. Oh well, I'm lucky I just got the stupid pole up. Poured quickcrete yesterday, and mounted it this morning. It's one of those telescopic ones with a dual locking system for each section, and I was having a hell of a time this morning with "righty tighty, lefty loosey" (because with this system, lefty is tighty and righty is loosey).

I wanted to have a cannon here as well, but with all my other expenses, I couldn't swing it this year. By next 4th that brown grass will be all decorative rock and the cannon will be next to the flagpole.
Anyway, hanging around the house today with my "We the People" 1911 strapped OWB, and bought some good old American red, white and blue Budweiser to drink.
