Gulf of Mexico for 10 days with family. Cold beer and oddly right winged extended family with crazy illegal fireworks over the water. Four days of straight bbq View attachment 3182 View attachment 3182

You think I'm posting what I'm doing on this board? That's how you end up with Dan on your doorstep (probably with a pitchfork).

Drove to Virginia this morning Family reunion. Hot as he'll down here, missing New England coast.

"Well, um, actually a pretty nice little [holiday], we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time."

4th National title next April? Hmmmm Probably drink some beers and meet some female friends at Storrs downtown.

Picnic tomorrow, rehearsal lunch Friday followed by a groom vs. bride kickball game, then my good buddy's wedding Saturday. And of course I'm starting to get sick.

I used to love kickball. Cool idea.

Captain and coke plus boating. And yes, in that order.

Gotta respect Captain's Call. I try to avoid the brown liquor during the summer so I can better (cough, cough) pace myself.



Weather is going to suck so boating is secured.

But, going to a friend's house. He smoking brisket and ribs and wings, and cooking up some beer can chicken. Everyone else is bringing sides and desserts. I'm bringing a garden salad with greens, pecans, feta, cranberries and vinaigrette and a pistachio pie for dessert.

Beverages will be Abita Strawberry, Shiner Ruby Redbird and Goose Island Summer Ale. And we are killing a fifth of Wild Turkey 101 to commemorate a special work event from two weeks ago.

Weather permitting it's corn hole and horse shoes outside or yahtzee, scrabble and ships, captain crew inside.

If weather is good enough, we can catch the fire works over the bay from his back yard.

Regardless, Happy 4th of July to all the Boneyarders.

Dogs & Beans - you know what that means.

Hope there is no run on AW at Stop & Shop this week.

 

[Uconnrick]

Camping the whole w/e near both the kids homes so they will come and visit.
Weather forecast calls for 4 straight days of rain..........yeah:

If you've procrastinated buying beer until today, here's a few good choices.

I'm definitely a fan of the hefe's and wheat beers during the summer.

Gonna grind some meat for burgers (Beef and Bacon burgers and Pork and Lamb burgers) this afternoon and then watch the local show from my backyard this evening. It's pretty cool, the town show is at the high school which is about 150 feet below my backyard - seeing fireworks at eye level is interesting.

The beach parking lots are filled and closed, both the townies and the out of town beach. Humid along the shore. We go during the week when its not so crowded, only live .7 miles from beach. Sandy did a job on beach erosion, which made the beach smaller during high tide.

30mph winds all day. Horse shoes easier than corn hole. Holding out hope for fireworks tonight.

 

[EricLA]

So I originally said I was going to be a walrus lounging in the pool, but someone snapped a picture of me, and apparently I'm actually Shamu...

Alright I am OLD.......and I don't listen to my wife apparently so she may be right........at the wedding last night I somehow found out that in my mind I had the wrong week for vacation.....I was saying I had to play golf Sunday morning and then stay somewhat sober because I had to pack for Newport and my wife said "what the hell are you talking about, we're not going until July 15th?" I really thought it was this week thank God I finally communicated with my wife at the wedding huh?..............funny thing is I have a full week set up with my sales guys the week after and now I have to admit my aging mind to more then the BY!!
