What's everyone doing for the long weekend?

Wifey & I are taking the kids to Gettysburg for the weekend to do the ghostie & historical thingy. Leaving tomorrow & cutting out early today so this is probably my last post till next Tuesday. Hope everyone has a happy & safe weekend.

It all depends on the weather. I really want to camp this Sunday night out by the Petroglyphs east of Reno, but it might be rainy. :(

Friday - Meeting with wedding photographer
Saturday - Bacholer party (starting the day off at noon with paint-ball, then off to the rest!)
Sunday - My best man's college graduation party
Monday - Home shopping
TUESDAY - I have spinal cord leakage from my cervical injections that is leaking spinal cord fluid into my head and lower back. I have to get a blood patch and a load of other work done.

What a great way to end a busy weekend.

I will be working all weekend and Memorial Day. Weekends and holidays are my busy time.
I manage resorts on the beach.
So I guess I can say that I will be at the beach all weekend.

Greetings!
I am taking my extra day off next weekend. My daughter & I will be attending the Iron Maiden show in Irvine on Friday the 30th for her 20th birthday present.
I managed to score 1st row center section seats with backstage passes, so she is pretty stoked. She is by no means as much a fan as me, but has learned an appreciation thru osmosis.
Best,
James

I'm planning to stay home and work on my basement shop build. I'm almost finished - I'm thinking about epoxying the floor this weekend. I also bought an old 30's Boise Crane wood lathe that I'm picking up on Saturday. So the weekend is pretty much filled with projects.

30k maintenance on the Rex and taking the pooch to the vet for her 2 year exam. Other than that, probably just lots of yard work and sleep. It's really just another weekend for me I guess.

Man, I have never liked their music, but they had some of the coolest posters ever in the 80s.

Bart, you really crack me up. I literaly chuckled when I saw this ^ reply.

No Rush,
No Maiden,
No Star Wars,
No Michael Bay,
No Silent Running,

It seems the only thing we have in common is black & the VX;)

Best,

No Silent Running? That movie rocked! ;-)

I bet he doesn't like Dark Star either! Killer orange beach balls FTW!

Darkstar is good stuff. John Carpenter is THE MAN. And Dan O'bannon is responsible for some of my favorite sci-fi of all time! Silent Running, as I have said before, was a cool idea, but the execution was so drawn out and painful, and it pretty much takes the cake for the worst movie music in cinematic history. I think it is the only movie I have ever had to mute for extended periods of time.

PS - James, I'm sure we can talk movies for HOURS if we ever get that camping trip together.

Not to get TOO far back on topic...:rolleyesg

I started the weekend by going in to work late, but made up for it by leaving early.:cool:

Then came home, changed my oil, picked up a phat check from a client, & now I'm going out to give Suzy some suds lovin'. :smilewink (carwash you pervs)

No other "carved in stone" plans, except for cemetery maintence. (freshen up the flowers for the ancestors)

Everyone stay safe & have fun!:thumbup:

Well,
Irvine's a mere hour away. I recently tried to round up a Socal bunch and got a 'whopping' 0 replies ! :rolleyes:

PM me your trip itinerary and maybe we can make a small meet happen.

TUESDAY - I have spinal cord leakage from my cervical injections that is leaking spinal cord fluid into my head and lower back. I have to get a blood patch and a load of other work done.

I've got to do an change the oil and filter on both the 2.5RS and the VX. Somehow that kind of pales in comparison to your fluid changes... :(

Hope things turn out well!

I received some last minute tickets to the Indy 500 and went with my younger brother. The crowds and traffic were a freakin' nightmare, so I'm thinking once in a lifetime is the magic number for that experience...unless the next tickets are for something like a skybox. :smilewink

On a brighter note, I did catch a glimpse of a white VX taking a shortcut through the Lafayette Square Mall parking lot at about 5:45 PM in an attempt to get around one of the many post race traffic jams.

Whoever you were, I decided to follow your lead in an attempt to drive around some of the traffic, but wished I had been in my own VX when I saw some of the potholes in the road that was behind the mall. That was definitely 4WD country. :_steering
