So, DU what are your Memorial Day plans?
I'm planning to go lawn bowling at http://britspub.com/index.php">Brit's Pub if the weather is good on Saturday with friends. Then Sunday off to my girlfriend's dad's house in SW MN.

1. Hurricane prep weekend.
Season starts in June.

Lots of yardwork to do, as well. Going to pick up a birdbath and a couple bird feeders for the yard. They'll make GREAT projectiles for the aforementioned hurricane season.

2. Taking my daughter and her friend to Pirates 3, thats gonna be a long day.
a long movie plus we'll have to get there 2 hours before the movie starts. Cleaning the pool and pulling weeds and on May 29th we have the annual throw out all the big trash pick up day so i'll be dragging lots of stuff too big to fit in to the regular trash out to the curb, it's like free cycle on steroids and i have lots of good stuff thats going.

12. I've got one Saturday
My nice cousin is marrying a RW freeper type. :( I've got to go to the rehearsal Friday night that will involve really horrible traffic even if it was just a regular day and not the Friday before a holiday weekend.

7. Attending my father's 60th high school reunion.
My wife and I will scoot over to South Carolina to meet my parents, and take a look over the ancestral homestead, where Dad was carried off by a tornado in '33.

24. My drink for yours.. hmm
All depends on your fancy. I learned a long time ago to stick to beer. So, if you drink wine or the spirits, I have a chance.

About the drinking under the table.. Hmm ...Everybody wins no matter who loses. I aint skeered either way.

:hi:

Oh dear, am I going to push "post message"

yup! -flees-

13. My whole family will be down the Jersey shore (LBI)
and hang out poolside and watch our friends who are in a cover band play (it's their first summer gig with their new line-up) and generally drink too much. I might go back out Sunday night and see them again if this person allows us to crash at her beach house. Monday will be a day of nursing hangovers and having a cookout

43. Cool. Is that for PC or some game system?
My only real complaint with I-mac is that there are few games for it. My old PC had Aces of the Deep on it, which was pretty neat.

35. Ours just inherited the curly pug tail and a sturdy body (I don't want to call it chubby)
Pughuahua sounds cute but is quite a mouthful...although "chug" sounds more like something happening at a beer party :evilgrin:

I didn't know there is a American Canine Hybrid Club:

41. Ours looks mostly like a chihuahua but with a little underbite.
What's your dog's name?

Ours is Audrey.

46. My dog's name is Leo
He doesn't have an underbite but no front teeth. The vet had to pull seven teeth a few month back.

His mom is half pug and half chi and she has the pug nose and an underbite. His dad was a pure-bred chi.

36. Brit's is cool, and it'll be packed
maybe not Saturday, but Sunday for sure.

I'm heading down to Red Wing for the weekend with my SO. Hopefully we'll bike the Cannon Valley trail if the weather cooperates. Otherwise we'll probably just sit in the jacuzzi.

(I kind of hope the weather doesn't cooperate)
