What are your summer weekends like?

BobNYC · 05-31-2007, 05:37 AM

While I'd rather be at the beach or fishing (and I do get to do those sometimes), most weekends are spent working around my mother-in-law's house. (That's her driveway in my avatar). She's elderly (95!) and my wife and I have taken it upon ourselves to keep up the house and yard. Gawd, how I hate cutting grass!

What do you guys do?

Lets see.... I camp and stay in the AC while camping until about 6 pm because FL is so freaking hot it makes ya want to vomit. And while at home I stay inside in the AC until around 6 PM because FL to to freaking hot to go outside in the day. And while I am working in the yard I stay in the house because FL is so freaking hot to do anything but stay in the freaking HOUSE!!!!!!!!! Thats my summers!! To bad you didnt ask about winters here. Thats an entirely different story!

1- Housework on my own little place, there are always things to be done...
2- Track time, the more I get, the better life is

Weekends? What're they? Oh you mean those days that most people are off from work? Well, they are usually gorgeous, weatherwise......unless, of course, I DO take a weekend off. Then it rains.

Oh, and for fun, I sleep.

Actually, I usually wash my cars/truck. Sometimes we walk on the trail or ride bikes, once I actually buy one. Puttering around the house is prerequisite right now. Lots of projects started and others that need to be. I need a clone, but one with more energy.....

Renovating the house, mountain biking/hiking, beach camping...

Typically do housework on Sundays and invite neighbors over for dinner to try out a new recipe...

I am hopefully going to have money to spend time working on my 1978 Trans Am. (engine upgrades, new disc brakes, etc) Sorry no Stillen supercharger for me just yet!

Summer weekends you can find me at a campground in the Mountains or one of our numerous T.V.A. lakes. Or I might just stay at home catching up on some of those "honey do" jobs, or working in the garden.

Fall and winter I will be in the woods deer hunting. Our seasons are long, bow season opens in Sept. followed by muzzleloader and modern rifle with the season finally ending in Jan.

Living on a farm there is always somthing to do.

On a bicycle, road or Mt. Some motorcycle time. And if you hate cutting grass, get a tractor with a cup holder, mp3 player, and a 12 pack of your fav.

On sunny weekends I go up to my vacation place at Lake Cushman in Washington. Pull the ski boat up there with the mighty Titan. After waterskiing for a while we then relax in a cove while drinking beer and listening to music. There is a rope swing there that the boys love. I try it too once I've drank a few beers. In the evening we start the BBQ and get a campfire going. It is so clear up there that you can watch the satellites go by in the night sky.

Weekends...not enough of them. Fishing takes top priority. After that- washing the truck, woodworking projects, working on ideas, camping, kites, tennis, and flying airhogs. The heck with the lawn

Unfortunately the yard isn't big enough to warrant a riding lawnmower.

Add to it my extreme allergies to grass pollen and it makes for a miserable chore.

Weekends? Weekdays, they are all the same. Chasing kids, doing housework, and trying to sneak away to do some fishing.

SpiritOne · 06-01-2007, 04:40 PM

Weekends are what the Boat is for. And the Titan takes me there.

I have mild allergies, but I have an acre to cut.

Oh, and add to my weekends, most of the time sex on Sat and or Sun mornings, depending on when and were we are riding bikes. And add golf to Sunday, warming up for a tournament Friday.

I usually work weekends.... But, my perfect weekend would be going out on a Friday night waking up Saturday going to the pool to lay out and swim, cook on the grill and just hang out, then Sunday get up early, and fish all day.
