The Weekend

[Alex2507]

My sister, Denise is flying in from OK today and staying until Monday. I booked the tickets so that she would get here in the early afternoon and leave in the early afternoon to sort of maximize her time here. We've got tickets to see The Blue Man Group tomorrow evening.

On Sunday I wanted to run her through a foot tour of Boston that starts at Back Bay and goes through that high dollar Copley Place on the way to the observation floor in the Prudential building. Footing it down Newbury St. through the Public Gardens and the Boston Common on the way to South Station winds up the tour with a commuter rail ride back into God's Country: Pawtucket, RI.

That's my plan anyway. Of course while she's here she will get to listen to the most amazing sound system ever!
I'll keep her spellbound with tales of calibration and amplification.
That's probably why she wanted to visit anyway ... well, that and the coffee.

Anybody else doing anything good?

I'm probably going to knock down a shed. I might cut it up and use the pieces to make a BBQ shelter. I'll use the space to park the SHO, get it out of the garage so I can use the garage space to store construction material for the basement and bathroom projects.

Unless I work Saturday and Sunday, then I probably won't get much done.

I'm gonna fire up the smoker and make some ribs on Sunday. The remainder is the really fun stuff... like cleaning the bird cage around the pool, pulling on the dead landscaping out from our the extended freeze we had down here, mowing the yard, patching some stucco, fixing broken sprinkler head, and everything else Nancy tells me to do. Exciting stuff.

Dave - shelter for your BBQ? Now that's love.

They tend to rust when left out in the snow.

 

[Alex2507]

Is the shed made out of anything good? Before audio I was obsessed with wood species. (Try to be an adult, Doug.)

I can't smoke anything living in a condo but there's a nice ribeye being broiled as we speak. Yep ... for breakfast.

 

[Davemcc]

It's just an old tin shed, you know the kind, the ones you got at Sears back in the 70's. It was old when I got it. It came assembled so I just nailed it to the cement slab behind the house. Now I want to use that space for parking again. But I still want a home for the BBQ.

Sounds good. make sure you pop some filets in the fire box to have a nice steak.

What rub do you use?

Make sure you confiscate her belt and shoelaces first...

I'm going to try to make some more progress on my pair of subwoofers.
I might also set up the DCX2496 with the 2-channel rig and the old sub - just to see if I can figure it out.

Gotta do something while I'm waiting for my EP2000....grrrr....

Sure, you can't smoke anything....

5k run Saturday morning

UFC 111 party at our place that evening

Load up the rest of the dead cactus I took down last week and haul it to the dump.

Hopefully it's nice Sunday so I can take the bike out for a ride.

 

[pzaur]

I get to finish pulling weeds. I've done my neighbor's front yard and 75% of mine so far.

UFC 111 is soooo tempting...

The boy is going to a sleepover at his buddies house saturday night so the wife and I need to find something to do...her "friend" is in town so...

I have 3-4 projects started but I hate working on the house...

There is the F1 race though!

Maybe I'll go looking at cars. The Loser can't have all the fun.

I can't do much of anything. I have to save up money for the honeymoon so we are limiting what we do and how we spend money.

I had a really good week though. Landed 2 new accounts and got a promotion.

Congrats!

I'm in pretty much same boat - but instead of honeymoon (already done) I have to save for down payment for some real estate i'll be getting later this year...
Wife is working both sat/sun so it's my w'end !!

My plans include assembly of another Ikea cabinet , lots of beer and movies I'm hoping to catch up to. Including, but not limited to Bronson, Red Cliff I and II and others..

Our little girl turns 7 tomorrow so she is having a party. They are going to build Teddy Bears and beat a piñata. Trying to get everything set up today to make it easier for tomorrow.

Sunday I hope to get a few runs in at the mountain. Not many days of skiing left. Season has not been that great.

We finally have Versus back on directv so hopefully there will be some cycling on as well. It's spring classic time.

Its when real men ride:

Boston is about an hour from me. I am going to go see what Alex's sister looks like

 

[ParadigmDawg]

She looks just like Alex but more hair on her chest.

I'll be up there today. We could meet for coffee at Emerson's Cafe on Boylston St. right off The Common. Actually we were there last night before going to see The Blue Man Group in The Charles Play House. Sorry to say that the show wasn't nearly as impressive as their The Complex Rock Tour Live DVD. We all expected more music and less marsh mallow throwing. We enjoyed parts of it but just didn't feel that it lived up to the expectations of an $80 show. First of all the theater was tiny and the seats are ridiculously small and I am freakishly tall and gathering some fame as a man of rotundness.

Still the day was good overall. We watched The Brothers Bloom, Catch Me If You Can, took a walk around the neighborhood just looking at New England and ate some really interesting food ... at least by Oklahoma standards.

Today is the Boston tour that I like to take people on for my just my sister. The g/f stays home and the weather is holding out. As far as my sister's looks are concerned ... let me just say that we are both incredibly attractive but getting long in the tooth. Are you looking to upgrade?

No time today, but I will have to take you up on that over the summer. We go at least once a month to get some food in the North End or to Legal Seafood, or Cheers. There a are a bunch more places we want to try as well.

No not looking to upgrade sorry. I won't have a third wife. If something were to happen this time I am just going to do a lot of fishing. We just had our 10th anniversary in Feb
