Memorial Weekend check-in

It is a long weekend with most people being off Monday for Memorial Day. What are the plans?

We actually have a softball free weekend, so a little free time for a change. I plan to mow & change the oil in my truck tomorrow morning. I am putting a little batting cage in the unfinished part of the basement for the kids, so may get started with that project. My sister has her pool open and the water is warming up, so we are going over there for beer & barbecue on Sunday. Monday we might just chill at home and enjoy the day off.

Looks like we are gonna be dodging rain showers and t storms here over the weekend.  Hopefully it will all hold out or at least timing will be on our side.  

Our oldest(Christina) is getting married on Sunday, backyard wedding behind our house.  Guest list went from 40 something earlier this week to closer to 80.  I smoked 5 7-8 lb boston butts over hickory and have 2 whole 6 lb chickens going now.  Getting some help from some ladies from our church with catering not sure what all they are fixing but hopefully will be enough, thought 50 lbs of meat with the chickens should have yielded enough but might be cutting it close.  

Still need to mow the yard and put down some granular lawn poison sometime today before it rains.  Have a load of stuff I need to move around to hopefully give us enough parking space where it will be dry or at least no chances for guests getting stuck.  

Probably be in the pool quite a bit after all is done.   

Have 150 lbs of gly resistant soybeans I need to get in the ground.  Have some prep work done at one plot site and none done at the other, so may get on the tractor Monday if it is not too wet.

Family reunion tomorrow at Mill Creek Park on the lake.  Afterwards I have some friends coming up and we'll find a sandy spot somewhere, beach the boats, set up the BBQ pit, burn some meat and let the kids swim.  Nothing more planned as of now, just going to wing it.

Well.........all outta turkey tags, so it'll be a working weekend.  Million things to do and no time to do them. 

Have a bunch of mowing to do but have to figure out why one of my deck pulleys is chattering.  We're getting ready to think about moving and there's just SO much that has to be accomplished before then.  Have a pretty monumental amount of landscape repair to do at the new place.  Would like to get some new wire cages around various trees at the Strut10 Ranch.

That's just for starters.   Lol !!   And I'm hungry for a grilled steak, too......
