What the heck???? Canada gets a Happy Canada Day from Parallax but no Happy 4th? I will fill that void and wish everyone on the Forums and everyone at Parallax a Happy and SAFE(@erco) 4th Of July.

    ...happy Independence Day!

    I've checked with our Benevolent Overlords (aka CARB) and found that I will be allowed to light my BBQ to grill the celebratory beast. Whoohooo!

    It is a bit early to be concerned, isn't it... the day is young. Maybe Hurricane Arthur is dampening spirits. May even hit NYC soon. And locally, we have a typhoon incoming toward Taiwan.

    My own excuse is that I forgot to reset the date on my calendar watch. It says Friday, July 3rd.

    I guess because Parallax was closed yesterday and today, and all the employees are out flying their Elev-8's. :)

    Yes, have a happy and safe Independence Day. Keep an eye out for malfunctioning drones too!

    Who, me? :) Yes, by all means a very happy Fourth to all. Either of these projects seems appropriate:

    Oh oh, 58 minutes too late. Sorry about that, long and busy day. Well then happy 5th, 6th.....31st of July to you all.

    Well, it was 58 minutes late when I started.

    Happy Independence Day everyone!!!

    Our little town does nothing to celebrate the 4th. They can't even bothered to raise the Stars and Stripes at city hall. The do, however, publish a bit in the local newspaper telling you which other towns in the area are celebrating!
    To be fair though, the lack of local fireworks isn't a huge loss. Folks in the area put on a rather impressive display with their "illegal fireworks". AH! 1:30 AM and another explosion rocks the night! :-)

    Unfortunately, not everyone can say that. Several people were maimed this holiday. What a loss.

    Hope everyone enjoyed a lot with family and BBQ. And it really hurts after such a long vacation.

    Sorry all!

    I would have posted you a Happy July 4th but everyone at Parallax was off enjoying their extra-long 4-day weekend!

    Happy belated 4th of July.
