This thread exists to discuss any and all weekends, past, present, and future.

This weekend, I got fun stuff. Massage on Saturday and planning for my big vacations coming up.

First will be a big road trip 24 June-6 July. Two weeks' vacation used for that one. We'll drive from Dallas to Jackson, MS to Birmingham, AL to Atlanta to Greensboro, NC to Cincinnati to Nashville to Memphis. The theme is the history of the US Civil Rights movement, so we'll take in the sights related to that time period. Thanks to my Hilton points, we can line up a Hampton Inn in every town. Free breakfast erry day, yeah...

Next vacation is for my anniversary, around 1 August. Wife wants Las Vegas and who am I to say no? Boss approved both leaves, so I'm ready for some fun in the sun!

Sounds fun Dean. I'd love to see more of the US. I'm on a mission to test out all the breweries I can and my girlfriend wants to attend a baseball game in every MLB park. When we hit up Phoenix/Las Vegas in May we are going to see the Giants vs Diamondbacks. Which scores me a ton of points since she's a California girl and lifelong Giants fan.

Tonight e have a night out with some neighbors we do things with. Going to one of those places where you have to figure out all the clues to get out of the room, aptly named Escape Room. Then on to a Japanese restaurant to watch them cook our food. Love those places, actually I just love rice and meat. Of course we'll be enjoying some Saki and Japanese beers.

Tomorrow I'm re-building a retaining wall in the back yard and moving a bunch of rock around so I can lay some new sod. Sunday is my girlfriends birthday and we have tickets to the baseball game for the local University. And at some point I need to finish the crown molding I started.

Which reminds me... my wife wants me to install a bidet. Whatever happens, I'm in line for a new experience.

I never did get watching golf.

I *do*, however, get watching fishing competitions and shows.

@deanwebb when you are in the Cincinnati area you will be in my neck of the woods.

I was planning on taking my son to his first MLB game (Cincinnati Reds) Sunday, but just found out we have to go to my sister-in-law's for a birthday party. :(

Cincinnati will be arriving 30 June, seeing sights 1 July, departing 2 July. Plan to eat at least once at Tom+Chee. We'll be visiting the Underground Railroad Museum there. I also just like Cincinnati a lot. I went there to grade AP Economics papers for a week, three years in a row. I'll also have to get some Skyline Chili in there, as well. I'm up for a meet-n-greet with the families, for sure!

I live about 60 miles southwest of Cincy (pretty much halfway between Cincy and Louisville). When it gets a little closer to those dates you should hit me up and maybe we could plan to meet for lunch or something while you are in the area.

I gotta disagree on the Skyline Chili. I have lived in the area for almost 20 years and I still hate the Cincy style chili. IMO chili is supposed to be hot not sweet. :)

Spring sprung, time to get the power tools out of the shed, change the oils, and get them up and running for summer, got's to mow, trim, and edge the lawn this weekend.  should be very nice here in DC this weekend,  much better than Denver.

Beautiful weather this weekend... just before we potentially get another round of hail. Doing my radio show Saturday AM, then enjoying nice weather on my patio as long as possible.

Should get a ton or rain starting tonight.

This weekend is prepping for me being gone next week for my quarterly visit to Corporate in Pittsburgh and taking the blunt of kid duty so my wife can get some relaxation.

Work has been crazy busy and Im really hoping to not get called. Maybe I can just turn my phone off. Would any of you guys watch my CoC  base while Im off the grid?
