What is everyone doing this long weekend? Angie and I finally got a long weekend off at the same time.
The weather forecast is calling for sunny skies and warm temps so looks like three days of biking for us. 
Have a great LONG weekend all.

Chores around the homestead. Learn my parts for Thank You by Led Zeppelin and Into The Mystic by Van Morrisson for a wedding we're playing next weekend (the wedding couple requested these songs - how cool is that?). Band picnic on Monday followed by rehearsal.
Busy enough for Labor Day.

Finishing the interior painting. Carpet installers get here on Tuesday.
We usually never go fishing on the Labor Day or Memorial Day weekends, unless we're going to some place that's remote. Too many people.
The trout streams bloom with cigar-chomping, scotch-swilling yuppies who slog cluelessly through the riffles and runs, whipping the water to a froth, scaring fish in all directions--or with gap-toothed worm flingers who festoon the river with flourescent marshmallows.
At least that's how it seems to me--but I've been told that I'm a curmudgeonly old fart who thinks if he sees another fisherman, he's being crowded.
Be that as it may.
I'll go fishing next weekend.
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

I will sit in the corner and be three dimensional.
Might go to the Ren Fest if the weather is good.
May go to the lake if the weather is hot.
Might shit my pants if I pass another gall stone.
It's nice to have options.

Starting Saturday evening with a gathering of non-laboring holiday partying with the majority of co-workers, festooned with lots of drunken emotional hugging and non-letting-go into the night, as our 150-person office closed today. The joy of leaving and freedom to move on will overcome thoughts of new career searches for the night with prolonged severance pay provided. No interviews planned for Sunday, could be a stumper knowing what day it is. Lots of great comradrie.
I'll probably be a designated driver for those wanting to leave by seven o'clock.

Going to a Motorcycle rally/festival/ with the Patriot Guard Riders up in Mount Shasta where I hope it will be cooler than where I am at in the valley. (106)
It's only an hour drive but riding along with almost 100 other guard riders is an awesome thing and I guess I wouldn't care if it was just as hot there.
BBQ in the park afterwards.

Leaving town for a week. Heading due West - no particular destination in mind. Golf clubs in the trunk.
I love trips where you just fly by the a$$ of your pants - no reservations - no plans - no idea where we might end up by the end of a day.
The best part - somebody else cooks the meals and makes the beds! Now that's a holiday.
Be good y'all

Hey Brewcrew
Great version of "I am the Walrus" .....complete with correct horns & everything. I really liked it !!! Very hard tune to pull off convincingly, but y'all did a bang up job on it....kudos.

Well its a lovely day here so I think I might just take the kids to either Sherwood Forest or Stratford upon Avon for the afternoon, tomorrow we can take a picnic to Kenilworth Castle and Monday is last-minute school uniform shopping as the little buggers darlings are back at school on Tuesday - the holidays have gone far too quickly, can we rewind a couple of weeks please?!!
