Gugny Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Frankly, it's none of your business what I'm doing. But what are you doing?
Guffalo Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I will be here Both days, Watch the show from the boat, grill up some Sahlens during the show, then back to our place for ribs/chicken and sides.
Gugny Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 We're still up in the air for Sunday. Supposed to go to my sister-in-law's for a cookout, but we really want to plant flowers and vegetables (not kidding). Monday, wifey is working, so I'll take our son to the parade.
KD in CA Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Opening the place on Cape Cod. Then cocktails with Muffy.
BUFFALOKIE Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Front end work on Dad's car. The forecast shows rain for the next three days straight.
stevestojan Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 The wife and I are in the airport heading to Newport, RI for the weekend. Should be nice, so long as there are booze.
Beerball Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 The wife and I are in the airport heading to Newport, RI for the weekend. Should be nice, so long as there are booze. Wifey & I met there many, many moons ago. You'll have a blast.
Gugny Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 I will be alone. Would you like to help me plant flowers?
Johnny Hammersticks Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Taking the Hammersticks tribe on a hike at a nearby gorge, followed by BBQ ribs, grilled corn on the cob, and cole slaw. Down a few beers and watch DVR'd lacrosse nat'l championship game with my son.
IDBillzFan Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 We take our son to our town's Memorial Day service every year. We have a great veteran's display, and each year we honor the families of anyone from our town who died in battle -- ringing a bell while calling out the vets' names one at a time. If the family is present, they're presented with a rose from the local girls scouts troop. Then they lay new bricks for those who died in the past year. It's a lot of names, and a lot of roses, and somewhere near the end you can't help but get emotional over all the loss and all the families there to remember and grieve together, but it's a tremendous tribute for such a small town, and it really brings everyone together to remember the purpose of the day. Then we eat ribs.
LeviF Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Hiking with the lady friend tomorrow. Sunday I'll pull out the grave maps and miniature American flags and track down KIAs. Then a cookout. Monday another cookout. Not a big parade guy so I'll be skipping that. All in all a good weekend with too much food and not enough beer.
Chef Jim Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Cooking, cooking, cooking. Making cheese Making fresh fennel sausage Limoncello Duck pate BBQing something. Probably ribs And whatever I find at the farmers market

Chef Jim Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 You know, being a big fan of the music of the 60's there is something magical about SF and the music from then. When we moved here and drove in for the first time I had to pop some Dead into car CD player. I had never been a big Dead fan but for some reason once I moved here their music took on a whole different meaning and now I'm a huge Dead fan.

I don't want to hijack Gugny's thread on this issue, but this would have been a great time to be alive as an 18-25 year old. I guess with Gugny's offer to Beerball to come visit and plant flowers, this song spoke to me.

KD in CA Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Will Faith and Beatrice be there as well? Maybe, depending what time the regatta ends.
