So, today, I walked my lawnmower around my yard for 2 hours, and mowed part of a friend's lawn (she is away), sanded and repainted my interior stairs, vacuumed, finished repairing the cracks in my kitchen, dining, living room ceilings (that fiberglass mesh stuff is awesome), finished staining my deck (it was threatening rain when I stained earlier in the summer, so I left the boards under the eaves undone), put away my summer clothes, did a load of wash and ran the dishwasher. I am now going to sit and eat leftover chinese, have some Long Trail, and work on some needlework. I quit.

That's more work then I've done all summer!

I am trying to get a jump on some larger projects before ski season starts up and takes away my free time. This weekend I have to rip apart the garage make room for the outdoor summer stuff and put it all back.

VT, party, bonfire with ski sacrifices for Ullr, hiking, partying.

Was gonna take my oldest cooler camping but plans got scrapped. I'm in the middle of painting my kitchen so I'll try to finish that up and maybe tackle the dining room too.

I would say thats a good thing. Sat night looks to be a bit cold in a tent with a young one.

Big recycle day Saturday. Can bring tires (with rims) and discard for $2, Hazardous waste/paint etc drop for free. Going to try and finish mudding those cussed ceilings so I can paint next week, and am participating in a musical show Saturday night. Really need to clean out the window boxes. Sunday to the RV and start getting that closed up for winter. and a nap.

Saturday:
We are still settling into our new home (unpack boxes, setting up my garage/workshop, painting, arranging furniture in rooms, maybe some painting)

Celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary (yesterday was our actual anniversary but we are doing dinner etc etc on Saturday)

Sunday:
Trying to hike at Sundown or Catamount with wife and dogs (it depends on weather and if I can get my picture taken for my pass/savings card)
Watching lots and lots of football

everytime i read this thread i immediately think of will ferrell.

Got a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring. maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know if we'll have enough time.


no projects for me at all this weekend, i'm flying solo with both kids. Elbow deep in poop.
But i think i'll take them up to springfield to Forrest Park. they have a zoo there and my older daughter has been asking to go to the zoo again lately.

Bump

 

[Grassi21]

On Saturday I will be cheering for my wife as she runs the Hartofrd 1/2 marathon and then heading out to Foxwoods Casino for a bachelor party. Sunday will be spent recovering and watching football.

I can't wait until my Sunday activity will be skiing instead of being a football loving couch potato.

 

[andyzee]

Waiting for snow. Other than that not much, maybe a bit of hiking or biking.

 

[dmc]

Working on customizing my splitboard tonight then playing music with my funk band...
Otherwise just scrambling to get stuff done before ski season starts..

Another typical summer/fall weekend. Last week it was removing the first big batch of leaves from my lawn. This weekend is relatively easy, I have to re-stain my shed.

And of course there is the usual time spent at my kids' soccer games. My middle son Peter has a state cup game on Sat and a league game on Sunday.

Another part of last weekend was a trip to Bucks County, PA for a 2 day elite premier soccer tournament with my oldest son David. His team did very well...they won their bracket with a 3-0 record and they outscored their opponents 12-2. That put them in the semis with the 3 other bracket winners where they unfortunately lost an amazing back and forth battle 3-2. They hit the opponents' goal post 2 times in the last minute and just couldn't get that tying goal home. I didn't care at all, it was a great game!

David is the newest and youngest player on his team and he is already a team leader. He plays in goal and is an attacker on offense. In 6 games so far this season he has scored 6 goals including 4 in the tournament. He almost singlehandedly beat the Manhattan Kickers, the number 1 team in their age group in the state, by scoring 2 goals including the game winner in a 3-2 victory. He was the MVP of his team's bracket in the tournament and he was named 1 of the 4 most outstanding players in his age group.

As you can tell, I am exploding with pride.

The hardest part is not trying to find out the scores until u get home and watch the game on Tivo.

 

[Grassi21]

Isn't Tivo the greatest? Tivo and XM are two things my wife bitched at me for buying and now she can't live without them.

I played as well...but I wasn't as good as David. And Peter is just as good as David in his age group.

These are the things that truly matter in life that money just can't buy.

We've got a DirecTivo. It's awesome. It sucks though that TiVo and DirecTV no longer have an alliance. The next DVR we get (HD) will be some sort of proprietary DirecTV software. I hope it's as good as TiVo. Sirius for satellite radio here...

I'm currently in the midst of painting my dining room. I'll be finishing that this weekend, plus we have a party to attend, and one to host.

I did not know this.... I should have bought 2 of those things. My brother has one through his cable company in the city and its not half as good at the direcTivo.
