Labor Day Weekend

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Anyone have any big plans for the long weekend?

Me, I'm doing a whole lot of nothing hopefully. Maybe take a trip down to the Taste of Colorado festival downtown one of the days, but other than that, can't really afford to do a whole lot right now.

looking at cars and driving 1 or 2

[DemonGeminiX]

Doing work for these online classes. I'll get outside a little bit just to get some fresh air like I try to every day.

[Muddy]

There is a Luau planned on Saturday and a big party with a band on Sunday. I will be at both.

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Yeah, its a resort hotel, have a time share there. Pretty sweet deal.

[Muddy]

[Noilly Pratt]

The local free pool...and also I live by the ocean so a walk on the pier is definitely in the offing.

:lol:

[Hal-9000]

hey wait a minute...I used to work in the mountains! They're less than an hour from us and a desirable vacation destination :lol:

[deebakes]

beers, brats, etc for me :tup:

[KevinD]

Plans are to grill up some steaks Sun or Mon night. Other than that, not much. Probably finish up some yard work though at some point.

[Richard Cranium]

I gotta pull a fucking 72 hour duty shift because every other asshole is on vacation this weekend, but I'm not bitter..

:cheerlead:

[Hal-9000]

*travels southeast with a book of matches and a few jerry cans..

[Richard Cranium]

Not that I could condone that but it would at least give me something productive to do..

Can we go get a beer first? ya know, before you go to jail.. Oh wait,,:hand:



:d

[DemonGeminiX]

Hey Richard, do you feel like joining a fantasy football league?

:-k

[Richard Cranium]

Thanks but I am not a football guy, not in the least little bit. I dont even watch the stooper bowl.

:d


it was a bad comment considering I kinda respect what you do for a living (not you personally tho...)

yeah it would gives us an excuse to sit down and shoot the shit....I don't drink but am told I can be just as obnoxious as the next guy :face:

[Richard Cranium]

I get it, it's funny to me, in context..

I don't really drink either, believe it or not.. :shock:

[KevinD]

A Firefighter that doesn't drink???!! No wonder you got stuck with the detail over the weekend. :lol:

[Richard Cranium]

That is very much a part of it Kev.

[KevinD]

Sad, but true. I spent a bit of time in Vol Fire Dept, and worked closely with the two neighboring City (paid) depts. Luckily for me, at the time I was still a bit of a party animal. :lol:

[KevinD]

Honest truth, had I known that I would enjoy firefighting so much, I would have got my degree in Fire science instead of electronics. I miss the hell out of it to this day, and it's been 7 years since I've been on a nozzle.

[Noilly Pratt]

Sooo...how was your weekend?

I did the pool thing....tried to get to my own beach, and the neighbouring town's beach, but for the first time ever, there were no parking lots and gridlock...Spent Sunday driving around my own freakin town and ended up on my own deck!

Ah well...If that's all I have to complain abour, life ain't bad. Kidlet goes back to school - Grade 5. Time flies.

Few pics that were taken around the island this past weekend. It was the reenactment of the battle of Lake Erie. 17? tall ships, thousand of boaters and 100,000 tourists.

Is that an annual thing?? I'd love to take my father to it. I learned to sail from him, and crewed (briefly) on the last privately owned brigantine in the world back in the late 80's

A few tall ships come in every year, including the brig Niagara. This year was a huge one time event celebrating the 200th anniversary of the battle that helped turn the war. It was a pretty big deal, I'm sure there will be documentaries featuring the reenactment.

Regardless, I'm sure your dad would love all the history of the islands, plenty to do for a few day trip.

[Pony]

BTW Kev, your dad would have loved it, you not only could tour the ships ($10), a few were doing 2 hour sails for $45 and you could be onboard representing an original crewmember during the battle! ($1500-$2500)
