I know we've had the post of what everyone's plans for the holiday was, but even the best laid plans can go to waste.


What actually did you do for Memorial Day this weekend?

Got up and scratched myself some.
Went to the bathroom, scratched some more.
finally got dressed about 9.
Took my wife to Bucks for breakfast, then to Wally world for potting soil.
Came home, unloaded the potting soil, then kicked back in my lazyboy, scratched even more.
Went and got my oil changed, took a nap on the couch at the Ford house. Resisted the urge to scratch in public.
Went home, got sweaty helping the wife, took a shower. Ahh that felt good!
Drove to Ft. Worth.
And here I am. Scratching of course. :D

Ms Villa unpluged my fridge in the garage and the deer I had went bad, boy did it stink. I then had to take my fridge out to the driveway and wash it, and let it air out all weekend. I might leave it in the driveway.

We took the kids to visit Granny in Victoria. Watched the Pistons vs Celtics in the NBA game.

Most important as I do on these type of holidays is go visit the two War Memorials we have at the Courthouse in Sinton in honor of our veterans who have served, risked and given their lives (both now and in the past and the future) to protect us in order that we can enjoy our freedom as we do now.

Careful saying that on this board, you may be branded a wus:eek:

Seriously though, filling those feeders feels like filling the ol' gas tank nowadays!!!! Our feed bill will be off the charts this year:(

the best was one that was pregnant with six little destroyers of fences and deer feeders. so that counted as 7 points instead of just the one kill. ;)

Friday - 14 hours on the highway, went to a trailer
Saturday - Killed some pigs, went to a barn, then got my truck stuck in a torrential downpour
Sunday - Went to a bar near that barn, saw my buddy's little brother's band play, got birthday beers from my friends' parents, that was neat
Monday - Cleaned gutters, napped, cleaned more gutters, and watched That '70's show while napping again.
