...you buy an extra bottle of Jack, just in case the Nova game gets ugly.

 

[RedSoloCup]

You start checking the propane tanks and where to get the cheapest fills...

You test the generator, clean your grill (hopefully not from last fall!), and your local package store owner greets you with a hug.

You pull the schedule and sit down to plan your menu themes (this should have happened at least two weeks ago if you are really committed).
