OT: Slightly Early Holiday Weekend Whatcha Doing/Posbang Thread

Submitted by MaizeMN on
I'll be getting off work at noon today and starting the holiday weekend early. So, I thought we should get the festivities started with a bang. Also, curious what my fellow MGoBloggers have on tap (and grill) for the weekend. We're not traveling, but I do plan to put the grill through a serious workout. Margarita chicken breasts, peppercorn ribeyes and venison kabobs are on the menu, along with the traditional burgers, brats and dogs. What is everyone else up to? Feel free to share your plans, menus, libations and holiday traditions with the rest of us. And don't forget to bang! Most importantly, thanks and prayers for the brave men and women that gave their lives in service to our country. God bless and Go Blue.

Chicago weather is going to be perfect... time for some grilling, bar patio time, and general relaxation.

Plus a couple of small things around the house, but my office is closed tomorrow so hoping to take care of them quickly and move on to freedom...

Been working on an SAP implementation project for nearly 3 years.  The second wave of plants goes live on...  Yep.  This weekend..  See the bosses that make the timeline don't have to work this weekend. They just dictate it...  Yay I.T. !!!

 

Still, can't complain too much.  It's my first SAP project and it has been a blast to learn the Hana database and Data Services.  It's probably the funnest job I've had in a couple decades.

Gonna dust off the smoker after a long winter and do a whole beef brisket and pork butt. Maybe go through some Dragon’s Milk while tending the fire. Then definitely finish off the weekend with some holiday golfing. Heaven.

Family time.  I'll mostly enjoy the Memorial Day weekend with my soon-to-be graduating daughter.  I'm fairly good at mentally blocking out the fact that she'll be leaving the house for college next fall (dwelling on it makes me infinitely sad, so I opt not to dwell on it), but I realize how incredibly precious the few weekends we have with her under our roof will be during the next few months.

So...I'll be drinking a few beers and sharing a lot of laughs with my family.   And thinking about how cool it will be to watch football games with her at Michigan Stadium next fall.

HEading up to Long Island. Rght nyeah da beach. BOOOOOOOOYY.  Water might be cold and flat but I'll try to jump in, get my ocean fix before the rain starts.

Will also be watching the NCAA lacrosse Final 4 with my dad, a Memorial Day tradition.  Rooting for Albany and all its badass Native American players. One day Michigan will be in it.

3 1/2 yards of top soil and a shovel. That is my plan the next couple of days. Then it’s grass seed and straw. Then probably 4 yards of mulch for the flower beds. Wahoo!

Weekend? It is Thursday morning! Tomorrow will be rough because 4 of the other teachers in my hall took the day off so I will have to be helping 4 other subs and finishing up testing a group of crazy high schoolers. I guess I should of taken the day off also but I have never put in for a day in my three years of teaching.

Grilling burgers tomorrow, smoking a pork butt on Sunday, getting my cholesterol/triglycerides checked on Tuesday.  Toss in some beer, bourbon, and garden planting for good measure.

Coca-Cola 600 bitches! Praying for a break in the crap weather here in NC. Have been going since 1995. This year is the last for me. The racing is nearly unwatchable now. Playoffs? Stage racing? High school kids racing? When Dale Sr. passed, I think it started the slippery slope NASCAR is on now. Unfortunately... Have a nice weekend y’all. Go Blue.

Avoiding the family cottage since it will be full of well, family. Firing up my smoker and grill, getting the kayaks out, and seeing how many beers I can drink between Friday and Sunday night

After being on the road four of the last six weeks for work, I'm happy to be staying home.

Firing up the smoker, going to have one or 15 G&T's, maybe a few beers, maybe some Han Solo tomorrow afternoon. My last conference call is over at 12pm tomorrow...not that I'm counting or anything

And try to sucker two women to marry me. Might need to drink a little to get up the courage to propose to both at the same time.

Painting.  A broken pipe flooded the family room.  Tore out and threw away thewet carpet and pad and figured I might as well paint before I install the new flooring. Trying to decide between vinyl and carpeting.

Spending the weekend at the house doing yard work, grilling steaks, and raising a glass to our fallen hero’s. They will never be forgotten. LLTB.
