I think I'm sitting this one out. I had plans to go to the coast, but I think everyone else is too! <br />I'm going next weekend. I think the crowds will be better. I'm not one for large gatherings of people. I hear all our campgrounds are now full.<br /><br />How many of you wait to go on vacations on the 'off times' ? (After the major holiday etc...)<br /><br />I'm seriously considering grabbing a lawn chair and going to my local lake's boat ramp this weekend. I'm sure I can find some great entertainment there!<br /><br />H.

Staying home.<br /><br />Except, I have a potential buyer for the project boat. He wants a demo and the only day we can do it is Saturday. I told him, be at the ramp at 05:00, or we won't even get close. He said-OK.

Re: So, what are you doing Memorial Day?

I don't enjoy our local waters much on weekends, particularly Holiday weekends.<br /><br />Gonna kick back and watch an auto race and the final round of The Colonial. Probably spend a few hours moderating, too.<br /><br />Maybe Tuesday I'll go collect a few Crappies and Bluegills. Depends on the weather.

I think after all the annual grave decorating, will go do some fishing to relax and stay out of all the traffic.

Buy new monkey suit, pick up supplies for the animals, mow lawn/weeds, clean up and pack the boat, start driving to Upsala Ontario on Monday.<br /><br />Homerr-- don't forget the camera so you can post the funnies you get to witness.

Re: So, what are you doing Memorial Day?

I've been mowing my back-side off the past 3 weeks. The grass around here is super-grass. Grows overnight I think!<br /><br />All the rain we've had made everything green and jungle-like. I've already tore up 2 lawnmower blades hitting stuff I couldn't see in the tall grass! :eek: <br /><br />-----------------------------------------<br />Pictures... yea, I will.<br />Heck ya never know...I might capture one of those 'funniest home videos' ?<br /><br />Or maybe sell it to the news media, or even a lawyer so he can settle his case?<br /><br />LOL!<br /><br />H.

Re: So, what are you doing Memorial Day?

Ther are two events that can ruin a otherwise great Saturday. Yep, I have to go to a friends wedding. It is a late afternoon afair which means I have time for the honeydo list. It's his second time around. Isn't funny how we can block out the memories of why it's the second time and do it again. BUT - Sunday I'm headed to Charlotte for the Coke-a-Cola 600. Now thats an all day afair I can live with. You folks have a safe weekend.

I will be Fishing the Laguna Mother with son(9 yrs) who caught his first spotted weakfish last weekend. Might get to spend the night at a friends boat access only, in the Bay, 30 miles from the nearest boat launch, cabin! If so will be all alone at the prime spots at first light monday morning stalking the flats for redfish. After that will come home,hoist the flag, fry fish, and appreciate just what is is that we have over here that is so fine and why we have it.

No such thing as a weekend off when your in the retail void. My weekends are during the week. Makes for great days of fishn and less ramp congestion......Vacations now, thats a different area. My second gets all the fun and aggrevation. Only problem with that is the catchem up period I get to deal with when I get back....

Greetings,<br /><br />Well, we would love to go the beach this weekend, but we won't. You see, Pensacola Beach has become the Gay and Lesbian playground for Memorial Day weekend, and at the risk of sounding anti-PC, I ain't down with that :(

Tonight I've got a high school graduation to go to, Saturday will try and get out on the boat some. Sunday I will be going to the NASCAR Coca Cola 600 here in Charlotte and camping out that night at the track. Monday I will most probably be cutting grass and resting up from the race.

Re: So, what are you doing Memorial Day?

I gotta go out midnight shift on Monday which starts at 8pm so I'll spend some time with fanily until it's time to go. Don't know if she herself has a BBQ planned or what's going on. Just got back from Charlston, WVa. So...it's back to the grind again.
