1. 2,500 mile round trip
We have to go to Kansas to sort out My Mother in Laws Estate who died last month. Not looking forward to it, but hopefully traffic will be sparse and we are getting about 32 mpg. Wife is penciled in for a 2009 Civic (40 MPG.) How bout you??

5. Various things...
A trip to New Orleans to start shopping for Mardi Gras related items for our 2009 ball... Costume and backpiece work for aforementioned ball... Sleep... Perhaps some grilling of tasty things.... More sleep.... And probably will drain the hot tub- nobody wants to get in the thing in the summer.

9. Stanley Cup finals, baby!
I will be rooting for the the Pens and spewing venemous hate toward the Dead Things (particularly the Satanic Traitor Chris Chelios) as they are demolished by Superior Pittsburgh Hockey in Joe Stalin Arena.

And maybe a little bouldering at the local crag, if the forecast holds up.

13. I'm spending a weekend fishing and hanging out on my friend's cattle farm in rural Georgia.
She inherited the family farm and is continuing the tradition of raising beef cattle! (I asked her if she names the cows. She said "Yeah, Sunday Supper and Paycheck."

My boyfriend and I will be staying in her grandfather's 19th century cabin which is now the guest house! We're going to fish and party and enjoy being WAY out the country in a beautiful and historic area of northeast Georgia!

I hope that you have a great holiday weekend! :hi:

60. Oh yeah
And in my experience, no one seems to fly directly to or from Rochester from ANYWHERE convenient for me. What's up with that? I hate changing planes.

18. My dear Parche!
Yup, I have plans...

This is the weekend for the Hermosa Fiesta!

Food, crafts, kiddie stuff, and lots and lots of artsy-craftsy stuff to buy!

Our Dem club will have a table in the Free Speech area, and we will be registering folks to vote, handing out election materials and like that!

I'll be there from 1 to 4 PM Sat, Sun, and Mon!

It's always fun to see whoever comes by...

26. Iron Maiden...
Excellent!

My brother and I are flying to Albuquerque to see Iron Maiden on Sunday night. He's always wanted to see them, and they're not coming anywhere near us.

So, I checked airfare, and for $240 total we're flying to/from ABQ. Time to lose my hearing!

I've only seen them once before, a few years ago. It was with Dio and Motorhead. What a show.

54. That tour was a blast.
I've heard good things about this tour, but try not to read anything so it's a surprise when I get there.

The only disappointment from that tour was that they didn't play Wasted Years. But from what I've heard about the timeframe of the music they're playing, there's a better chance of it being there. I think Wasted Years was the first song of theirs I heard. It was another one of those moments.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? And why don't I own that album yet?" That's how I found Megadeth, Headbanger's Ball played Peace Sells and I was hooked.

27. We are expecting gale force winds and 12 foot seas over the next 48 hours
or so. That means lots of anxiety and not much sleep. So, for the weekend, lots of sleep and doing nothing.

The last 2 times I've brought him home he's been glad to be back. He must be mellowing out at 12 years old. :)
