What do you have planned for the holiday weekend?

[surgtech1956]

What's everyone have planned for this Memorial Weekend? Here in Michigan its suppose to be nice - mid-70's, slight chance(30%) of rain on Saturday. We're planting flowers and vegetables - bought 2 1/2 flats of annuals, a few perennials, a flat of veggies(tomatoes x2, zuchinni, cucumbersx2, melonsx2, brussel sprouts, green peppers, lettuce). Plus we're going tomorrow night and getting some flower seeds. And of course, some bike(bicycle and motorcycle) riding. I have to work tomorrow + on call tomorrow night. Everyone have a happy and safe weekend.

2 rides and a BBQ are on tap. Can't wait for some downtime!

[Crankin]

Dinner in Boston and the last play in our theatre series tomorrow night. The city will be dead. :)
Gardening and a short ride on Saturday?
Probably a long ride on Sunday, with friends.
Son #1, his gf and our friends coming over for a BBQ on Monday (after a ride).

Dinner with cycling friends on Saturday; tennis sometime on Saturday; a bike ride perhaps on Sunday and a motorcycle ride on one day this weekend as well.

I will plant my pots with some veges; already planted my vege garden on Wednesday. And Yeah, it is raining here! Very unusual for us this time of year.

I'm baking a strawberry rhubarb pie to take to the dinner party on Saturday. yum yum!

Kent County Spring Fling - 4 days bike riding around Chestertown, MD. :)

[solobiker]

I hope to go mtn biking and maybe do some fly fishing. We are supposed to get some rain so plans may have to change. I do have to work a few hours on Monday.:(

[indysteel]

My BF and I are doing day one of the Horsey Hundred, near Lexington, KY, on Saturday. We're camping with his family Saturday and Sunday nights (they're from KY) at a nearby park. I'm hoping to do day two of the Horsey, too, but without him. He's not the glutton for punishment that I am. We'll head back home on Monday.

Do you have a pet you could bring or borrow? That's the trend in my neighborhood. I saw a guy with two cats and a dog today, and he was doing very well indeed.

A long weekend in San Francisco, pretending to be a tourist.

[Tuckervill]

Dodging the rain while out in the garden. I hope I'll get to hear my son play his guitar and sing on stage tomorrow.

Sleeeeppping!!!!

[ASammy1]

50 miles or so around Yorktown/Williamsburg/Jamestown on Saturday.

Laying by the pool the rest of the time

:o this is probably what I will end up looking like by Monday even wearing sunblock!

[kermit]

We have friends in town from Chicago, just in time for the rain. It is pouring, thundering and lightening right now and they just landed. We also have a fishing boat reserved for tomorrow. I hear the theme from Gilligan's island in the background.

[AnnieBikes]

I am picking up my DH after his 900 mile ride on the GAP, C&O, WOD, Skyline Dr. and BRP all the way to NC. If you got all that you are doing well!!! Son, DIL and granddaughter will meet us at home tomorrow afternoon and spend the weekend here. Maybe a ride on Monday afternoon after the dust settles and everyone is home! It may rain (afternoon thunderstorms) but I don't care. I am just happy to have DH home, and have a bit of my family here!

[Pedal Wench]

Ride to Nowhere tomorrow, maybe ride or recover Sunday, and then a long mountain-y road ride Monday.

[Norse]

50-55 mile training ride tomorrow with a couple of buddies, shorter ride probably Sunday; finish planting my tomato plants and get the impatiens planted; grill & chill.

[sfa]

100 Miles of Nowhere tomorrow (may end up being the 50 Miles of Nowhere though). Cardboard boat building on Sunday. Monday morning going to a local cemetary to put flags on the graves of veterans, and Monday afternoon probably finishing up the boat. I hope.

[ny biker]

55-mile bike ride on Saturday, BBQ on Sunday, going to see Star Trek on Monday.

[Pax]

BBQ at my moms sometime this weekend, and lots of working on/in/around the house. We'll probably take a nice motorcycle ride at some point as well.

[bmccasland]

5 K race walk at Greek Fest this evening. To justify eating the baklava ice cream sundae they serve there. :D:cool:

The rest depends on thunderstorms... whether me and my bike head out for a levee ride. I do have 3 pounds of blue berries, and two big bag full of black berries (in the freezer) that I need to make jam out of. I'd hate to loose all the blackberries to a power failure during hurricane season and the hot steamy weather is holding off for a wee bit.

Baklava ice cream sundae? I have a new goal in life.

Tomorrow, a visit with a friend and her new baby, and a quiet evening home with the kiddo. Hoping rain holds off long enough that we can go ride bikes for a while. Sunday is my first day off with my partner in a month- she's been traveling and I've been working, so my daughter goes to visit her father at 9am, I'm biking out to the farmers market, then home for a date day. She's going to let me teach her how to change a bike tire, because I have to teach a class next weekend on that- and she's going to let me teach her some riding skills which rocks because she hates riding bikes. Monday I'm hiking a section of the northville placid trail. Between things I have a new book that is supposed to be published in July and my arse needs to be working hard on it!

Piece of baklava in a picnic soup bowl, soft serve vanilla ice cream, 2 generous spoonfuls of the cinnamon sugar nut mixture that was used to make the baklava, wiith a cherry on top.

5 K walk time: 43:40 :)

It is our 6th wedding anniversary but with a new job and the high price of COBRA we cancelled any travel/camping plans. So today we are mountain biking then going to my inlaws to get some free beef (they raise cattle and just took 2 to the market), going out to where we went to college to mounatin bike and have an anniversary dinner at a deli we love Sunday (mmmm Blue Baker (http://bluebaker.com)) and Monday sleep in then do a road ride. It is supposed to be blazing so I better go get some new sunscreen. :D

[shootingstar]

Today cycle with 5 other people. It is rare that I cycle with this many people. Usually if it's with anyone, it's only 1 other person.

1 of them is a 70 yr. grandmother who's been cycling over 40 past yrs. ?She did cycle across Canada over 2/3 of trip solo after she retired from nursing at 65. She's actually featured on the front cover of latest issue of Momentum magazine.

Others are "teenagers" like me. :D but there will be 2 in whole gang whom I've never met before.

[roadie gal]

I'm going to be working and hiding from the tourists.

[MomOnBike]

DH & I are riding just under 50 miles to a small community near our home, then spending the night there at an historic hotel. A few koloches (local pastry- think a Czech Danish) and ride back home Monday.

Yep, it's going to be fun.

[jessica47201]

Well, unfortunatly, I worked Friday and Saturday, and I'm currently at work right now. At least I did get in 15 miles on Friday and Saturday and today before I went to work I did 19 miles. But at least I have Monday off, my DH and I will probably ride at Clifty Falls!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!!!!:)

[tulip]

I took out all of my winter clothes from my dressers and closet, and took down all of my summer clothes from the attic. I then did the Big Switch. I have some winter things that need to be cleaned before going back to the attic. I have alot of winter clothes that I just did not wear this year because I no longer work in an office. But I"ll keep them for next year. Maybe I'll dress nicer for work next year ;).

I have some darn nice summer clothes that I had forgotten about, too.

Here is what we did this weekend:

I ended up doing a lot of digging and weeding at my sisters house. Digging up a big flowerbed to eventually replace with grass as it's too much trouble to mow around.

She pays me ;) as well she should. That's hard work!
Big spiky plants with leaves like this (http://www.biol.andrews.edu/everglades/everglades_oldsite/plant/plant.htm) and big fat tuber roots.
