Sorry for the sequential posts.
Tomorrow night: Ron White, The Behavioral Problems Tour. Then I'm cutting off my skin tag.
Saturday: Golf.
Sunday: Pressure wash the pool deck (maybe). Then cocktails by the pool and BBQ.
Way below normal temperatures here in NW Ohio. No grilling this weekend. I remain, as you all know, a wimp of a Bear.
Friday PM - Relaxation, USA.
Saturday - Work on taxes. Yuck.
Saturday PM - Whether or not Katie and I hit a bar/restaurant....Rolling Rock is in the plan.
Sunday - Work on De Noc, watch old movies.
The weekend will be filled with periodic "look-see" moments at NCAA roundball.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.

Mrs. P made a killer sausage and bean soup and we ate in all weekend. Very good for a cold wet weekend.

Got a call yesterday morning from a realtor saying he had a group that wanted a private showing of my house that's for sale. Spent 2 hours cleaning it all up and getting it "show" ready, left the house, and about 15 minutes before it was supposed to be shown he calls and says they cancelled. FML
At least my house is spotless, now.

Thursday, ZG's son in going out of town for a few days.
Friday, I'm taking the day off using incentive leave for all the blood I've donated. Pool time.
Saturday, no plans. Pool time!
Sunday, morning golf. Afternoon by the pool!
With the kid gone through the weekend, there could be some hanky-panky by and in the pool. Weather forecast looks good.
If I donate enough blood, I may never have to go to work again! Wait, that didn't come out right.![]()
A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.
Friday: 7am - sailing to Molokini Crater to go snorkeling and diving, afternoon will be spent driving to Waianapanapa and setting up camp with the possibility of a quick hike, evening will be spent drinking and relaxing on the beach
Saturday: Hiking up to the 7 pools of Hana and exploring Waianapanapa, evening will be spent drinking and relaxing on the beach
Sunday: Morning swim followed by driving back to Kahului. Lunch in town. Fly back to Honolulu.

I am so excited about swimming with some sharks! Last time I was at Molokini I had the great pleasure of meeting a few juvenile white tip reef sharks. I am hoping to get to see a few more this trip.
Really? You swam in your birthday suit at 7 pools? Aren't there a ton of people there? Did you get arrested? I haven't been to 7 pools since 1996, and I didn't get naked then, but I did jump off some cliffs![]()
Getting the hell out of dodge for the next 10 days. Florida, here I come. May you greet me with hot temps.

Figure out how to get rid of the ~1 cubic yard of broken concrete currently piled in my side yard.
Dumper truck rental and hardfill dump here I come.
I'm sorry. Is my bias showing?
Going to see family and celebrate my Dad's birthday.
Off to our land! Trying to get out Friday night so we can have two nights. Got my work cut out for me - drywall taping a small cabin, trim work, painting, some repairs and framing work. And then, bike riding!
Oh, and beer![]()
The purpose of life is a life of purpose
Ah. I have been going through this exact same situation. The worst is when they just don't show and never call to cancel. Spend an hour and a half or more hanging out in a library or bar or something waiting for when they should be done and then come to find out they never even showed up. This happened to me on monday afternoon. Jerkoff realtors.
Children in the back seat can cause accidents - and vice versa.
Yup!
Actually, the very next day ANOTHER realtor called and wanted to show the house the next morning, so all my cleaning didn't go for naught (and they did show up)!
This weekend, I'll probably be watching some more NCAA basketball, plus I'll go out for drinks Friday night with some friends. Saturday, some friends of mine wanted to go push some cars around a parking lot (training for strongman competition) so I'll probably join them. Sunday, who knows? Probably getting rid of more stuff I don't need.

Just got back from a four day weekend at Frankenmuth. It was a gastronome's holiday and we enjoyed their famous chicken dinners, Rhine wines and German beers every day for lunch and dinner. Made the obligatory stop of Bronner's. Spent most of the remaining time watching Junior go nuts at the multiple swimming pools, and miniature golf. All in all a nice little off-season trek.
