El Presidente Posted June 20 Posted June 20 What's up for the Weekend? Gardening Saturday as I tidy up before heading away in a few weeks. Trying to work out an irrigation system that won't fail after 12 months. Once I get this garden crap sorted out today, it will be a late afternoon cigar, two newspapers, Rugby on the outdoor TV, Picahna Roast on the BBQ. Sunday is morning workout followed by lunch with Steve (MoeFOH) and Di before all heading to the big Rugby League game at 2PM where Di will be on trial to see if she is ever permitted to again go to a live sporting event. What's up for the weekend? 3

What's up for the weekend? Great win by Brisbane last night Di. No game of rugby will top that. Non stop rain in Perth so I am heading down south, a 90 minute drive from here to do some black bream fishing in the river and its run off creeks. It will be perfect with my ritered abolone diving mate. I will be yelled at, a hip flask of rum, some Demi Tasse, no lures only mullet for bait. No landing nets in an old banged up dinghy and it will be game on. We will have the entire system to ourselves, that much I am sure off. It won't be great, it will be grand! 6
riderpride Posted June 20 Posted June 20 It's cold this weekend in Cowtown (13c) with 40-80 mm of rain expected in the next 36 hours or so. My son's sports have been canceled, so we'll look to do something indoors. The rain isn't unexpected this time of year, but the cold is definitely out of place and ticking off a lot of campers. Sounds like a good weekend ahead for you irrigation aside. Di's tryout - is that because she points and says 'hey look at that' while you miss a brilliant play? Cheers, and hope you all have a good one!
Chibearsv Posted June 20 Posted June 20 The heat will be fierce in our area for the next 4 days. Maybe go out for quality Tex Mex tomorrow. Seems appropriate for the weather. Of course a mitt full of cigars throughout. 2

Hopefully the rain will help out in a few days. Cheers! 1
Popular Post JohnS Posted June 21 Popular Post Posted June 21 Unfortunately, I misjudged a big step yesterday at work while navigating a new building we've all moved into a week ago. I took a fall, grazed myself and went off to hospital for scans. No broken bones, but I insisted on a referral upon leaving for a Ultrasound/MRI to ascertain any muscular sprain or minor tear in my right leg (Which I've booked for Monday). So, I'm convalescing this weekend and nursing my sore right hip with painkillers. Such is life. The photo below was taken by my wife, Eleni when we left hospital after 4 or 5 hours and had a late lunch as a popular, local cafe near our house. Yeah, how funny...I should sign up for that class. It would be useful! 😂 My wife and I reached out to our neighbours in our small cul-de-sac this week to see if they wanted our lounge furniture. My direct neighbour next to our house (also named John) took the furniture with the help of three of four other guys in the street this morning. Yes, it's an amazing neighbourhood. Everyone gets on well and we enjoy street parties from time-to-time. Obviously, we await out new furniture to be delivered early next week. 7 1

At our age, not that we are old by any stretch, it does become a little easier to fall and a little longer to recover. Rest up mate. I fell flat on my back a few weeks ago on my bathroom floor. Didn't even know what happened until my shoulder started screaming with pain and my partner and her daughter screaming with laughter. Blue eyed demons, the both of them. 1 2

It would be useful! 😂 Sad to hear that John. Hope no major damage or tears. Here’s a picture of my broken foot when I was run over by a car last September. Was in the pedestrian cross walk, had the right-of-way, and had looked both directions before entering the walk way. Lady came around the corner without looking. I was fortunate it was only broken. I’m still not fully recovered, but back to work after 8 months. 3
MTimbo Posted June 21 Posted June 21 Working overtime all weekend. I need to find the time to mow the lawn this weekend too. It's been a work in progress this spring, but it's looking good and I'm trying to not let it get out of control. Hopefully we get some rain here in the next few days, the water bill can get a bit extreme in the Colorado heat. Maybe I'll even make time for a cigar if I'm lucky. Let the lovely dog distract you from the weeds. 4

Popular Post Dlowil Posted June 22 Popular Post Posted June 22 A couple of workouts. Lots of nesting projects and lawn work. Baby three on the way any day now. Solo with the kids for half a day also. Will find some sinister way to tire them out while having fun. Trying to cram as many cigars in as possible prior to the baby coming. 5
Popular Post BigGuns Posted June 22 Popular Post Posted June 22 Zoë wrapped up her dance year with her recital earlier today, culminating in her earning a highly coveted scholarship for next year. Gen and I are very proud. Followed that with a late seafood lunch at a local spot and now enjoying a quick Monte 5 on the deck. Life is good. Perastika, John!! 10 1

It's been a fairly wet spring for Colorado, with some mild weather in between, but summer is here and the heat and dryness has kicked in. It's been 90°f and dry for the last week or so but some rain and cooler days are coming this week. It's a constant battle to keep cool season grass active here during the summer. 2
Dlowil Posted June 22 Posted June 22 We had a good patch of rain a couple of weeks ago! Where are you based in Colorado? I’m in the Thornton/Brighton area. 1

I'm in Golden myself. I think I was hoping the mild weather would stick around, but I guess that was a little optimistic, but I'll take I'll the rain I can get.
