Volunteering at the VA over Saturday and Sunday, then Monday going to my grandfathers grave at the National Cemetery in Holly.

You know, doing things to memorialize our veterans.

 

Golfing with my Greek friend George tomorrow morning, then having a pool party/BBQ is my backyard on Sunday with my wifes family (because mine is in Michigan).  I'm cooking this:

I've done it once before and everyone loved it some I'm doing it again.  I don't do the slaw part (just because it's more work) but the pulled pork comes out amazing.  I buy slider buns and throw out a few different sauces (BBQ, 1000 Island, buffalo, anything else in the fridge) and it goes over really well.  If you're eating around lunch time, you need to start smoking pretty early, but it's totally worth it.

EDIT:  Does anyone know how to post pictures on a Mac?  I knew how to do it on my PC, but without my right click button I don't know how to get the picture thing I need to C&P.  Thanks.

My son plays his last double header of freshman year tomorrow and my daughter has a softball tournament all weekend. For those of you in the Chicago area who are interested in girls' softball, the Evanston Express is hosting their annual Memorial Day Tournament in James Park this weekend. 30 teams from all over Illinois participate. You can expect some decent softball from the older girls. My daughter is 12U, but the 14U's and up are pretty good. 

Tradition with a few of our friends, going on three years now. Lots of sun, country music, southern food, and most importantly beers in my future.

Going to do some mountain bike trail riding with a buddy tomorrow. The rest of the weekend depends on what the weather is going to do

Normal weekend of golf and drinking. I'll just have an extra day to recover.

I'd like to thank all those in the armed forces for their service. 

There will be some drinking

My fiancees has an aunt/uncle that live on Cape Cod, so we are leaving today around 2 pm, and driving from DC to Cape Cod.  

Yaaaa Traffic in DC, Baltimore, Philly, NYC, Boston, and Cape Cod!!!!

 

No idea what the plans are, but we'll be there all weekend.

We place American flags at every veterans' grave at Botsford Cemetery in Ann Arbor.  It is a small cemetery that requires its inhabitants to have resided within one mile of the site.

It makes one feel proud of those gents and ladies; grateful that they served to guarantee our freedom.  There are about 57 veterans buried there.

Also, Nectar Meadery in Ferndale is having their Spring Party tomorrow.  Should be a hoot.

My first vacation of  2015 was in Ann Arbor/Detroit because Detroit was my home for first 11 years of my life and also I want to go to the spring game. But when I do travel its for work and I will be in St Louis next weekend for my job. I do write for a drag racing website.

Taking a small boat to an ininhabited island with a tent, a sleeping bag, and a stove for three days outside without the sounds of the city. Cannot wait.

Now an M4, I'll be headed to Mexico in the morning!

so I'll be on Erie tomorrow hunting for Walleyes. Hopefully we will be able to keep all the white bass off the line. Have heard they are coming in pretty thick right now.

Heading up to Michigan with Coach Richt. Gonna go ice fishing and then hunt wolves from our snowmobiles in Dexter.

Heading out to the Trinity Alps in NW CA.  This will be my home for the next few days.  cantwait.gif

Bike race in Frankenmuth tomorrow followed by a nice chicken dinner. A quick stop by the parents' house then a weekend of relaxing and keeping an eye on the dog's ear infection.

Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.

Finally getting a break from work, so I'm going to catch up and go on a movie-watching marathon.

First up, Mad Max, then Avengers, and then Pitch Perfect 2 with the lady friend.  Okay, I admit, part of me wants to see it too.

Then probably a bbq with some friends on Monday. 

Yoga, Crew game, gym, helping a friend build a swingset, friend's birthday party, gym, cookout, yoga or gym, homework.  Sprinkle in a few beers and a run or two, and that's about it.

Then begins my final week of teaching of the school-year.  Huzzah.

It's Movement weekend! I'm starting off tonight with a preparty at the Tangent tonight from 6pm-4am, then the fest from noon-midnight, then TV lounge from midnight-11am, then the fest from noon-midnight, then Drive from midnight-4am, then the fest from noon-midnight, then Drive from midnight-4am. Wooooo run on sentence! If you never hear from me again, I died a happy man lol. Techno and House music forever.

Good old Higgins.

In the office all weekend racking up billable hours.

Not a humblebrag--just sad.

Hamptons-bound...which means sitting in traffic for hours in the world's longest parking lot...the Long Island Expressway (j/k I avoid the LIE entirely).

I will be hitting unsuspecting people with ankle picks all weekend.

Spending time in Ohio so that you don't have to.

Running the Bayshore Marathon in Traverse City. No kids!

in the rain

My parents coming up to stay with us all weekend.  My dad, my son, my brother and myself will enjoy a few rounds of golf, complete with multiple beers and some kush.  Probably opening the pool this weekend too but it won't be ready for a week or so.

Memorial day, the rest of the family is coming up for some good times and good BBQ.

 

Watching a couple of my son's lax games, then driving up to Wisconsin northwoods to open up the cabin.   Will probably crack a few icy beers while lounging on the dock.  Maybe a little fishing.

Since it's Memorial Day weekend, I also look forward to devouring a Shaara historical novel (thanks to MGoBlog for getting me hooked on the Shaara books from a thread awhile back).   I will also pay respect to those who sacrificed everything for our country.
