What's up for the weekend?

[El Presidente]

Heading out to to do finish the Orbit irrigation system. So far so good, bluetooth hookup working and talking to the central control hub. This is my third orbit bhyve system connected to this hub. If they were lasers Di's backyard would be the Deathstar.  Gorgeous early morning. Perfect blue sky day. Heleconia in full bloom. 

Last weekend was a bust due to the robbery so today is replaying what we would have done then. Taking mum and dad out to lunch at Happy Boy. Great restaurant....funky asian and damn tasty. Gym seeion sometime before we leave, back home to read papers and prep for the Rugby feast (league and Union) accompanied by cigars, rum and wine. Light dinner of home made hamburgers with beef/pork patties, egg, cheese, grilled pineapple etc. 

Tomorrow is not so much fun. Furniture removal, dump runs and work. 

Have a great weekend!

Weather is everything this time of year.  If it's nice Saturday I hope to practice one of the forum's forbidden subjects on my wife's farm before coming back home to watch Ryder cup with a cigar or 3.  Sunday, I want to head to Wisconsin early to visit a friend's home on Lake Geneva.  Hoping to catch an early morning large mouth or muskie snoozing under one of the piers.  Maybe take a morning boat ride around the lake.  Then back home Sunday afternoon for the end of Ryder cup and cigars with the neighbors.

Fall bite should be on Horizon. Friends from Chicago spent last weekend in Eagle River on Chain of Lakes and did well. Nothing like a muskie blowing up on top water! My place is in Hayward and plan on mid October trip.

Headed to Athens Greece for a wedding. At the airport with my wife and son. Trying to tire out the 2 year old before the 9 hour flight.

If you can pick up a couple of weird regional (extra) I'd be willing to trade for them. 😀

I'll check. But I think they only had two regionals for Greece one a 2009 and the other a 2011. I'll see if there's anything else that's interesting.

Smoking some tri tips on the KJ tonight with some friends while our kids are at their first middle school dance of the year…soccer and a birthday party tomorrow, then celebrating my abuelita’s 92nd on Sunday.  Watching the Raiders continue their DOMINANCE as I can…cigars sprinkled throughout, starting with this Medio Siglo poolside while the KJ warms up.

Cheers to the weekend, FOH!!!

Probably jinxing it. But he fell asleep shortly after takeoff.

Good luck!

 

My 9 year old (the one from the rum punch thread) broke both of her arms on in a playground accident on Tues and cannot ride for two months (english style) so nothing there. The 5 year old has his final soccer match of the season tomorrow,  so we now have a whole hour planned for the weekend. 

Time to get creative. The weather will be beautiful, so anything outdoors that doesn't require hands!

I don’t know your language skills or background, but phonetically “ef haristo” means thank you and “Kala emerma, Kala nikta” mean good morning, good night in Greece. Other than that, I got nothing...

Safe travels my friend!

 

Almost forgot: Thenk tzero = I don’t know...

 

Seek out the museum of Pythagoras, 5 mathematically perfect solids.

The Octrahedron

The Cube

The 3 sided triangle (tetrahedron)

The Iicosahedron

The Dodecahedrin

 

He missed the sphere...

I got 3 cubic feet of concrete to mix tomorrow then I’m done. A CORO might be in order?

Those cigars are going to be ready to smoke for sure when you get around to retiring...

I'm figuring 20-24 hours at work plus 4 hours driving there and back. Might get in a HUHC. Lol

I got a date with my couch and the Ryder Cup. It’s been a long couple weeks at work so a down weekend is needed. Smoked some chicken legs tonight, beef ribs tomorrow and pork shoulder for Sunday. Smoked a CoLa this evening. Gonna dig into the ‘special drawer’ for the rest of the weekend. Sunday would have been my best friends 40th birthday so I’m gonna smoke something nice in his honor.

That muskie hit is one of the great rushes.  Just reading "muskie blowing up on top water!" got my heart racing.  Our family sold our cottages in Manitowish long ago.  Just too far for a weekend but it sure is beautiful up there.

Let me add my few Greek sentences : Barakalo is the reply to Efharisto and most important : Yammas means Cheers when drinking... 🙂

 

Not much planned except going to vote at the general election here tomorrow.

After 16 years "Mommy" Angela is leaving the helm. Will be an interesting outcome as both mayor parties head-to-head in the race and coalition discussions coming weeks will decide the next govt ....

I am mastering home conservation. Unripe tomatoes in a marinade are a great snack for vodka

Green tomatoes and vodka? Now that's a new one on me. I've seen a few people eat dill pickles with moonshine  though. Lol. Anyway home preservation of any food is a wise idea nowadays.
