Three Day Weekend Friday ThreadFollow

This is the last weekend we cling to the house to avoid crazed tourists. Next weekend we're going touristing.

We have 2 big hardwoods and another 4 or 5 smaller ones that went down in last weeks storm. So, our plans for the weekend are to dig them out of the forest, get um cut up and stacked into the firewood pile.

Also, I sold my old car last night so I may have to go shopping. My wardrobe is getting kind of sparse.

Besides clothes though I'm looking for seat covers and an MP3 Player. The fabric on the seats of my Soul is scratchy. I'm thinking about getting a couple of these. Anyone ever used sheepskin car seat covers before? I'm a bit worried about cleaning and upkeep.

Sunday is supposed to be rainy so it may be pickling day.

Well, I've got lots of cucumbers. I made a batch of bread and butter pickles already. So, I might try relish. Or maybe just more pickles.

I've always wanted to try and make a this jelly from Staghorn sumac flowers. They call it Champagne Jelly out here. It's pretty tasty. A couple nights ago when we were out looking at storm damage I collected a bunch of the flowers (they're not really what I'd call flowers but the fuzzy red stuff at the ends of the branches). So, I might try and make a batch. The other thing the staghorn flowers are used for is making sun tea. If I don't feel like canning I might just make some tea. I've already put up 8 jars of chokecherry jam, and I'll make quince jam next month.

Are parkour and free-running the same thing? Are you growing a handlebar Rosco-esque mustachio?

Haha, no, I'm not going with the handlebars. (and it's Orosco, or NoSole if you're in the practice)

Simply put, the "difference" between parkour and freerunning is that the former focuses on speed and efficiency, whereas the latter is more involved in flips, tricks and flair. I can't do flips (yet; that's what the gym sessions would be for) so what I do is pretty much just parkour. Or, "climbing and jumping around on things" as my wife calls it.

A related story: my wife informed me that our son has taken to jumping off the third step of the staircase in our house; my response was "how is his landing?"

I knew you'd never make it here!

Four day weekend says "Hi." Making fajita's for dinner now. Going to see .357 String Band tomorrow night for a free show sponsored by some UW related group. Good friends wedding Sunday. Nothing on Monday. Probably going to snag Dead Island on Tuesday.



Things are going well so far this weekend.



FYI, it's called Charles E. Cheeses Fine Italian Eatery and Dinner Theater.

Normally, I would say that wrestling is much more gay than parkour, but then Frosti and Levi put out that video, with the suntan lotion, and well...

I meant for my full-time job; I'm happy as a clam with ZAM!

This weekend we are spending time with the grand kids. Today we will meet them at the Renn Faire and Sunday it's off to the state Fair with young ones in tole.

I need to look at the wood in the back yard and see if we are keeping it for for various projects. I need to get photos of more jewelry taken and up on Etsy. My rotary tool lost a *****, so it's at the shop to be repaired, So I will be using hand tools or just beading for few weeks.I did pick up supplies for wire wrapping, a rubber block and some punches on sale.
