What's up DU on this fine Saturday night?

[Reverend_Smitty]

I just got home from the beach. I had no plans to go to the beach today or yesterday but I got a phone call yesterday from a friend saying if I wanted to go hang out at a beach house for a bit this weekend I should pack an over night bag and she'd be by in 10 minutes to pick me up. I did and I went...I love impromptu trips!

How's everyone else's weekend going so far? :hi:

1. Got to barbecue today!

Good thing - I was going through withdrawal.

[Reverend_Smitty]

2. I love barbecuing

IMHO there are few better ways to spend a summer afternoon than at a BBQ...what did you guys make?

[EstimatedProphet]

5. Burgers and brats

I've got 4 racks of babybacks waiting to be Webered this summer sometime, but they are frozen solid right now.

[Reverend_Smitty]

7. nice...

I've always wanted to cook ribs on the grill but just don't have the patience to cook them properly

3. Weather was hot

....pool was cool. It was a perfect day. Tomorrow should be the same..

Cheers :toast:

[Reverend_Smitty]

9. the weather was perfect here today...

plus a nice breeze was kicking up off the ocean, I have to enjoy it while I can because it is supposed to get into the 90s for the next couple of days around here

4. Margaritas

:toast:

[Reverend_Smitty]

8. any day that features margaritas is a good day indeed!

:thumbsup:

6. Just relaxin' at home this weekend...

about to watch a movie on On Demand and drink the rest of this bottle of wine. Then later tonight a nice dip in the hot tub under the stars to seal a great day of peace and quiet.

:hi:

[Reverend_Smitty]

10. Sounds like you got yourself a nice little evening planned

enjoy!

[idgiehkt]

11. very nicely, thanks

I've had a week of really good days, the weather has been perfect, and since I eventually remember to put my food in the oven (instead of just turning it on and expecting the food to jump in there all by itself) I am having a good dinner. A day at the beach sounds wonderful. :)
:hi:

[Reverend_Smitty]

15. Glad you are having a good week and a good dinner!

enjoy the rest of the weekend

12. I'm sitting on my brother's bed...

We're visiting for overnight to be with my parents while he's on vacation...I'm playing on his sweet new computer and watching South Park :)

[Reverend_Smitty]

14. whenever I play with new electronic "toys"...

they make me feel inadequate about my own stuff and then I get the itch to buy new things...which has the potential to be very dangerous to my wallet!

[bicentennial_baby]

26. It's his wireless keyboard and mouse, and a huge flat screen

monitor...Even if it is a PC running Vista :P

13. I have a loaf of cinnamon bread rising in the pan.

I'm baking bread to use as French toast for Mr. LIW's Father's Day breakfast in bed.

Today, we did yard work and had a big hearty skillet brunch (spicy sausage, potatoes, peppers, eggs, and cheese) with biscuits. Afterward, we did some shopping for the dog, stopped for coffee, and took the kids to the carnival celebrating a local city tradition. After the carnival, we went to Baskin Robbins.

This evening, I started the bread dough and finished some laundry while we watched TV together. Just got the kids to bed, so I'm having a snack right now, and after that Mr. LIW and I are going to play a rock and roll trivia game and have a couple of beers.

:)

[Reverend_Smitty]

16. I bet your house smells amazing right now

and breakfast in bed...your husband is a lucky guy! :D

[Left Is Write]

19. It's just rising now, but when I bake it in another half-hour or so, yes....

there will be a tantalizing aroma in the house!

Mr. LIW serves me breakfast in bed a lot, so I figure he deserves a total red carpet treatment on Dad's day. :)

[Reverend_Smitty]

22. that seems only fair

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. No baseball :(

Dodgers and Giants both had day games.

Dodgers lost. x(

[Reverend_Smitty]

18. I got to see/hear on the radio the Mets win last night...

but I was busy at the beach and the tiki bar this afternoon so it's just as well that I missed the game. I'm gearing up for the game of the week tomorrow night...I expect big things from El Duque

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. I'm so bored, I turned on the A's-Cardinals game

Started a couple ticks short of three hours ago, and they're just starting the bottom of the seventh. :shrug:

'course, it is 15-6, Cardinals. :D

[Reverend_Smitty]

21. ugh! one of those marathon games

nothing is worse when it comes to long games than Yankees-Red Sox...I could read War and Peace faster than it takes for those teams to play a game

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. I heard just a couple weeks ago

that they have the longest average time of game in baseball — something like 3:40. Apparently they take a lotta pitches and make a lotta moves.

[Reverend_Smitty]

24. I believe it

those games are usually very entertaining but they are looooong!

btw
I got a little sunburn on the top of my foot today...just one foot, it figures the 2 square inches of skin that I missed with the suntan lotion and it gets burned. I should just buy a burqa and save myself a lot of trouble

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. Nah

You'd get too many weird looks while singin' "God Bless America." :D

[Reverend_Smitty]

27. lol...

no doubt the government is just looking for a reason to send me to Gitmo...I'm sure being a member of this site and the Democratic party in general, my name is on a list somewhere :P

I'm actually surprised the Irish never invented a burqa-like garment because we burn like mad!

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. Irish stew?

See, you need to wear fewer clothes. Toughens up the skin. :)

[Reverend_Smitty]

29. but...but...I don't want to end up looking like him...

his skin is like rich Corinthian leather :P

30. My dear Reverend_Smitty!

It's been a quiet Saturday...

And I suspect my Sunday will be also...

Just finished watching "Iwo Jima."

It's outstanding, and sobering.

Your weekend sounds much more exciting than mine!

:hi:

[Reverend_Smitty]

32. that was a good film...

very powerful and a bit overlooked when it first came out

[AlCzervik]

31. oh it's been a real barn burner here at casa de chimps, my daughter was going to just

die, flat line i tell ya if she couldn't have "Lean like a Cholo" as her ring tone so i spent the night converting a shitload of her purchased itunes songs into mp3's and then transferring them on to her fancy ass god damn phone.

[Reverend_Smitty]

33. "lean like a cholo"? Can't say I'm familiar with that one

kids these days and their music and fancy music playing devices...back in *my* day we had Walkmans and cellphones were the size and weight of bricks :P

[AlCzervik]

34. oh yeah i still have the original walkman, here is the song

enjoy homey!
