OT: Friday Open Thread - Whatcha working on today? Posbang anyone?
So it looks like this might be a regular off-season thread since each of the last three Fridays I've wanted to jump out of my window here at work to put myself out of misery.
Whatcha working on today? Any good or interesting plans for the weekend?
Me, I've got the monumental task of figuring out what to get profitgowife for Mother's Day and trying to negotiate a confidentiality agreement with an a--hole lawyer on the other side. This weekend is filled with kids stuff, including a toddler birthday party at a playground tomorrow. Actually, a pretty nice little Saturday. We might make a trip to Home Depot. Maybe Bed Bath & Beyond. I don't know. I don't know if we'll have enough time.
I'm building an outdoor, LP, fire place!
Les Paul fireplace?
Lonely Pirate fireplace?
Lotsa Posbang fireplace?
Leprechaun's Playhouse fireplace?
Lengthy Pickle fireplace.
Little People Fireplace?
(No offense to little people intended!!)
I'm looking for an LP fire pit for Mothers Day, too many other home improvement projects so hoping to find a prefab unit. For those of you who don't know what LP is you need to earn your Bob Villa badge...
What're ya driving? I've got a savings account started builing towards my eventual Porsche Purchase. A '75 turbo would be great, but the 551 they're talking about could steer me newer...
You should talk to that one guy, buyaporsche, or whatever his name is. He used to post a lot but I haven't seen him in a while, was quite proud of his collection.
He appeared to be a car salesman pushing his products here. I warned him to stop trying to sell cars and post like a normal person and then never saw him again.
Beautiful car. One of the last of the 964s before they switched to the 993s. I think that Guards Red is one of the best colors out there, of course if I find a 75 Turbo British Racing Green would look good too. How I reconsile wanting a green or red car I don't know... Coach Hoke would not approve. There is always speed yellow....
smack me in the face if he saw my closet. My fraternity colors are Scarlet and Emerald, and a lot of my other shirts are green. I do wear a lot of blue sweaters, though. Maybe that would get me off the hook with him, but I'm guessing no.
I was just thinking the same thing about all of my Ferraris! I'm going to have to run out and buy a yellow one to balance things out. I'll just charge it to one of my many, many AMEX Black cards. In fact, I think I'll just cash in my "free car" pass at the Ferrari dealership. Because I've purchased 10 in the last year I get the next one free. Geez, I've come a long way since the days of driving that Honda Accord . . .

I was rolling in a Porsche 914 (the Volkswagen of Porsches) when I was a student at Michigan. Even thought it was nothing special the Porsche badge helped my social life.
The Boxster before the Boxster. Also now there are loads of the Volkswagen of Porsches. In fact, the best selling Porsche is really a VW! Cayennes for all!
My 5 year old son is hell bent on going fishing this weekend. He has asked me every day this week "how many days until Saturday?" So tomorrow we are going fishing together, and I am not complaining about this.
I've been thinking about taking my 2 year old daughter fishing this summer. How old was your son on your first trip? Any heads up on taking a child, other than fishing hooks are sharp?
Even after 5 years they still like to cast the worm and bobber, wait 10 seconds, decide that's not the best spot for the bait, retrieve, cast again in same spot, repeat. It's great fun, actually.
I've got three, which makes things a little busy during stuff like this but one should be a piece of cake. I took my oldest fishing when he was 3 and it was fun, but short. You should just have fun and be prepared for her to lose interest in about 30 minutes or less.
That's how it goes, but it is still fun to get some one on one time.
I know the caretaker at a 23 acre private lake that's stocked every year but none of the owners fish it. She should be able to catch big bluegill all day, so hopefully that would keep her attention. It's on about 700 acres so there would be plenty to do if she tires of the fishing. Why haven't I done this yet? Hope your trip goes well.
I'm taking two of my kids too. Pike should be getting feisty this time of year. Never tried em down here in GR area this early before. I'm sure the kids will kill the panfish, though. I guess in the end that's all that counts.
If only there was a "I'm jealous" moderation, I would use it.
Taking the wife and kiddo up north for a few days. Then next week, I'll be at home relaxing. Can't wait.
We went to Disney this past winter. It was the most fun I have ever had in my life. Enjoy the park and the fishing.
Martin County has an ordinance where one cannot build a building taller than 4 stories so the high rise condos and hotels will never be there. I used to think it was stupid but seeing how quickly built up and touristy palm beach and st lucie counties are I don't mind at all.
must prepare something meaningful.
Just wing it. Its much more exciting that way . . .
There are worse ways to spend a Friday. Assuming you will find a way in to meet him too....
Oh wait, wrong thread. Guess I'm about ten hours early (/s if that's actually necessary).
In all seriousness, waiting around until 3:30, getting a new shirt and heading off to work at 4:30.
Don't be silly! It's never to early for beer!
definitely too early to be posting on MGo about drinking beer.
I hope that "a--hole lawyer on the other side" isn't an mgouser. It sorta blows the internet anonymity thing.
I hope not for your sake - I'd feel bad saying that if he was an MGoUser but I'd feel worse for everyone here that has to put up with him on the Board.
Dave from Wyoming, isn't it?
I keed, I keed!
So I have a 3rd follow-up call on a quasi-confidentiality agreement in a couple hours. If you're the attorney on the other side, I may be an A-hole, but you're a moron.
I'm guessing you're not the attorney, however, as she doesn't appear to have the necessary IQ points to have gotten anywhere near UM.
For the record, its not me. But if you're one of those users that negbang all of my posts on priniciple, go ahead and imagine its me so you can fire up to deal with that guy.
