  • Labor Day Weekend...whatcha doin?

    Wife and kids just left for family reunions in SE KY....when she starts going to my family functions, I'll start going to hers again.

    All alone til at least Sunday Night....heheheheheh..... ;D

    Fixing to go up to SJ's shop and pick up my (new to me) Butler seat for the Z--mobile........not certain what I'm doing after that.

    There's a group of hooligans in town holding some kind of speed contest, I may have to go by and check it out...supposed to be a big deal....LMAO(US Nats).

    How about the rest of ya?

    Tonight: Putting a tune up on the go kart my father in law bought for my my wife's youngest sister.

    Tomorrow: Cookout with college friends

    Sunday: Covering a car show and then thrashing the go kart!

    Sprinkle beer liberally over all of that stuff.

      Neighbors having a Happy Hour / Pool Party tonight -probably 40-50 people most on scooters.
      Mow and some touch up painting on windows and trim (every damn year it seems) tomorrow then off to the pub for pay per view of opening Husker game tomorrow evening - games are big events around here for football season.
      Wash cars and trucks Sunday and kids (they're in their late 30's) coming up for Crablegs and steak in the p.m. - usually involves 3-4 bottles of cheap champagne and they stay the night and we all go to breakfast in the morning.
      Monday - cruising in the 70 to Labor Day Festival and car show (walk thru) down by the river and then cruising some more - destination unknown. Eveyone have a safe and happy holiday !!

        Hopefully getting the newish motor ready for installation and installation of the new cam (which won't be here 'till Wednesday or so). The main thing is to fit the new manifold and headers with the engine out and make sure I can get everything to tighten up and not leak.

        Maybe take ME and Beaux the Wonder Dog for a stroll on the beach - they both LOVE that. Had company for dinner last night, but no other socializing planned.

        I second that everyone has a safe and happy celebration.

                  Tonight -Mow the last acre of grass I didn't get done yesterday due to wrenching in someone elses garage . Then haul a hood over to Vortec RS so he doesn't have to drive around with the hings sticking up connected to nothing.
                  Sat- wrench on the GTA
                  Sunday- Church followed by the US Nationals with VortecRS and his brother( just don't tell him there aren't any skate boarding going on till he gets there !) Should be there by 1:15 may get there in time for the free food the campany is handing out ! If not well the free tickets and the parking pass will do !

                        Saturday: Garage Cleanout II, to include my storage shed. House cleaning afterwards.

                        Sunday: Unknown as of yet, maybe to Maple Valley to prep for engine rebuild

                        Monday: Completely unknown.

                            tonight, still undecided, have envite to go to a drinking fest, but depends on the wife getting home in time from work.

                            tomorrow, party with lots of food and beer, with professionals handling the fireworks. Will not have any accidents involving alcohol and fireworks.

                            sunday, hopefully fishing if the weather holds out.

                            monday, probably some sort of manual labor.
