Default What are your plans for the long weekend??

Just finishing work and am pretty excited about the long weekend ahead (though gas prices ensure that we stay locked at home!! )

Just wanted to have people share what do they plan on doing this long weekend? sitting at home like me??(P.S. becuz of gas prices seriously)or going to see some friends or acquiantances?

People, share your plans here....

Tomorrow we shall be going out to Cochrane for breakfast with friends.

Sometime on the weekend we'll perhaps go over and visit my son and his family, visit with our three month old grand-daughter.

I can also supervise the construction of his new deck.

Cheers
Steve

Cochrane is only a 20 minute drive from our house. But we'll take the Corolla rather than the Camry.

And my sons, both of them live only ten minutes away in the same neighborhood.

20 mins means 10 dollars worth of gas

This weekend I'll mostly be practising driving my new car, in anticipation of my driving test in a couple of weeks time. No worries about the gas prices this week, as the dealership gave me a full tank of gas!

Well, sitting here on a rainy saturday, contemplating the improving forecast I think we are going to go sailing for the weekend with Mrs AX's father. Given that its the last long weekend of the year and the forecast is for +22C and sunny it seems like the only right and proper thing to do!

(Oh yes and it doesnt cost anything in gas!)

Whatever you are doing. Have a good one.

AX

- go to Niagara, import partner legally
- put up fence down side of backyard so dog can go out unattended.
- write hate letter to neighbour who took old fence away
- fix raccoon damage to house roof, shoot some more raccoons
- chainsaw fallen tree into managable chunks, haul chunks to exe's house for firewood
- catch part of the last weekend of the Ex. It's tacky but who can resist butter carving ?
