Once again, Friday has rolled around. Holiday weekend for some of us.

So what's going on in your neighborhood?

Myself, shop time I think. Need another load of gravel for a wife project. We have a heat wave going on, talking about maybe triple digits next few days. Sunday is 1100 miles of left turns, should be a good time. Cook outs and lots of food this weekend.
 
Friday: Doing a little work on our lawn equipment building to prepare it for painting. Mow the lawn.

Saturday: A little shop time working on items for our bathroom remodel.

Sunday: Like Steve said, 1100 miles of left turns - hope we don't get dizzy!

Monday: Hopefully, a do-nothing day!!!
 
Semi-annual flea market at Brownville, NE this weekend. Last time I went I scored a No. 8 Bailey for 20 bucks! Hoping for a good find again. Supposed to be mid to upper 90's so I'll be staying in the shade.
 
Good friend in town tonight for a few cold ones. Tomorrow the wife leaves for a girls weekend so I will play single dad. Sunday having my parents and sister's family over for BBQ and birthday party for my dad before they leave for a long planned trip to AK. Monday rest and relaxation.
 
We have a heat wave going on, talking about maybe triple digits next few days.

It was 62 and sunny yesterday, with a cool breeze. Definitively shorts and tee shirt weather. But the next couple of days, it is climbing to 72. When it gets hot like that, I just don't have much desire to do much. Probably just plan out my next couple of honey-do projects, with some shop remodel planning thrown in for my sake. If the heat wave does not do me in, I might sneak out with the clubs. I keep them hidden in the truck and just claim I am running to Lowes for supplies. Although it is hard to explain why it took 4 hours, since Lowes is only 5 minutes away.
 
suffering with a bad back, but Im going to try to get some kitchen work in my sons home with his help.

Im basically trapped where I live, with the big weekend, and all the beaches near me, traffic becomes a nightmare.
I cant go in any direction this weekend, from yesterday to monday evening.
I have to drop my daughter at the airport late this afternoon, and Im already disgusted knowing the traffic we are going to have.
 
Probably mow tonight, however it's been raining here and suppose to hit the 90's, so I may swim tonight and mow when it's cooler tomorrow morning.

Have a friend coming over tomorrow that is moving to LA in a few weeks, so going to hang with him by the pool and do some bbq'ing. May do some outdoor movies too to watch from the pool.

Sunday I need to pickup some plywood and start building road cases for the new photo booth.

Monday I plan to make a trip down to the cemeteries with some fresh flowers from the garden.
 
Shelly and I will be heading to western Md to a Victorian Mennonite restraint and hotel , Sunday I get to hear Keith Castell preach in a appellation back woods church he was asked to preach at. Keith is a Gideon and travels to the out back churches. Keith is the gun builder who tough me 30 years ago to build Flint locks.
I am looking forward to spending Sunday with a old friend and his wife.
 
I'm going out this evening to a casino about 20 miles away to see a buddy's band play (and to play a few slots). It's a fun band called the Calcul8ors...excellent players, and they all dress up as nerds and geeks. Their tag line is "80s rock with pocket protectors".

Saturday I'll be doing work-work, then I'll go see some other buddies playing acoustic stuff at a local bistro. I'll probably bring some gear with me and sit in on a few songs.

Sunday I'm tentatively heading out to some BLM land with my nephew to go try out some new firearms and blow some stuff up. :D

Monday will be a combination of work-work, house work, and being a slug.
 
Well, right now I'm waiting for a very important phone call or text from my eldest son... he's busy at the moment waiting for/assisting his bride in the delivery room. Yep, Mary Ann Donner is on her way today (hopefully anyway)... Other than that, heading to VA beach tomorrow for a short vacation, then coming home and packing for the big move in 2 weeks.
 
Road trip! Dinner and Il Divo concert in Saint John NB with friends!

Then, more beating back the jungle with the new grass trimmer:thumb: Fun! Actually makes the place look like someone's living here!

Some lambs coming too, hopefully not in conflict with the concert.

One of the things I remember most about driving in NY city and the closer suburbs is that when at the split second the traffic light changes to green there are 5 cars behind you blowing their horn at you to get moving:rofl:

For the weekend, pretty much relaxing. Probably a cookout or 2. Nothing exciting at all.:D
 
Going to do as little as possible.

A little work work, a little gardening, a little bobcat repair work, some general cleanup and organizing of the property as a whole.

Nothing to big, or too interesting.
 
Oh, and I just go the chipper shredder repaired, so I think Sharons going to go hog wild with the pruning shears. Probably have to run that beast and generate a bunch of compost.
 
What? You broke Bob again??? :D

Nah, He's old and just needs a little help now and then. I knew it going in that I'd need to do some repairs. Got a little leak into the chaincase, so need to replace some seals. Seems like a pretty common repair and I've got the manuals. I actually like doing this kind of mechanical work, so it should be a good time.
 
Opps, my plans could be changin. Woke up to a warm house this morning. A/C bit the dust last night, I think. Going to try and get a repair guy out today. Yea right, long weekend, probably won't happen.
