Friday POSBANG "What the hell do I do with my weekend?" Edition
So, honey do lists shall commence, or take a weekend trip, or go to the wedding for that fan smart enough to consult the schedule before booking a reception hall.... What are you doing to pass the time?
I plan to smoke a nice brisket and watch my alma mater Air Force play Boise Saturday night and catch up on some house projects. Oh, and bang a little...
October 15th, 2021 at 7:24 AM ^
Bangs are a perfect way to win the Improvement Week!
October 15th, 2021 at 7:28 AM ^
Heading to St. Pete for the weekend to push aside some bad news if only for a bit. Lots of drinking, eating and pampering with some occasional tears, I imagine. But fuck it, life is what it is. Onward.
October 15th, 2021 at 7:31 AM ^
Soccer for the kids Saturday morning, soccer doubleheader for me in my rec league Sunday. Go Blue beat Bye!!
October 15th, 2021 at 7:43 AM ^
I’m going to hide my phone tonight, eat some edibles and watch Strange Brew. Tomorrow I’m going to laugh and watch teams lose
October 15th, 2021 at 7:45 AM ^
Girlfriend and I will go to the apple orchard this weekend. Not the same as going to one in Michigan, but shall be a good time!
Also need to find a halloween costume...
October 15th, 2021 at 8:01 AM ^
I was going to do my nod to Mystery Science Theater 3000 and go as this guy, but you can abscond with the idea, if you wish.
October 15th, 2021 at 7:49 AM ^
I'm quarantining at home, positive for covid. So I guess that means I get the weekend off to watch football.
October 15th, 2021 at 7:58 AM ^
Get well soon.
October 15th, 2021 at 8:33 AM ^
Wishing you well, and soon.
October 15th, 2021 at 7:55 AM ^
Starting on the nursery for the baby on the way. I may in fact drink more tomorrow than I do on a gameday.
October 15th, 2021 at 8:08 AM ^
I will be holding down the fort (taking care of kids and wife) while she recovers from surgery. She didn't even know she scheduled it during bye week!
October 15th, 2021 at 8:11 AM ^
Bang?
Finally finishing my basement. Flooring, Drywall (fuck drywall), trim, paint. I hate to waste my weekend on it, but I have been pretty useless for the past 6 weeks.
October 15th, 2021 at 8:58 AM ^
i hate drywall..... We closed on a 140 year old building last year, I did all the demo, hired a contractor to come in and hang the drywall and finish it, then we painted and I did all the trim work.
i'd rather drag my balls across broken glass and hot coals than drywall.
October 15th, 2021 at 9:16 AM ^
I agree. I haven't done a huge amount of drywall work, but I've disliked every minute of it that I have, especially hanging it. But mudding, taping, and sanding also suck.
If weather permits, I'll be up on a ladder painting the south side of my old house.
October 15th, 2021 at 9:42 AM ^
i secretly accessed don's FB account. here he is working on the north side of the house....
October 15th, 2021 at 9:50 AM ^
I'd rather be a painting skeleton than a drywalling meatsack.
October 15th, 2021 at 9:44 AM ^
Last time I was drywalling it was a basement listening to the game when Amani Toomer scored to go up 13-7 on Ohio State in 96 I think. Shawn Springs got burned on a hitch? So my drywalling memories are good.
October 15th, 2021 at 8:13 AM ^
A tradition unlike any other. Happy Bye Weekend MgoBloggers. Visting youngest daughter. Here for the bang ! Stay thirsty and undefeated my friends.
October 15th, 2021 at 8:20 AM ^
I haven’t seen my girlfriend in a week so lots of banging this weekend…I hope
October 15th, 2021 at 8:55 AM ^
I hope your disposition improves!
October 15th, 2021 at 9:07 AM ^
Thanks, every once in a while I’m happy
October 15th, 2021 at 9:22 AM ^
If you're only occasionally enjoying your girlfriend's warm, naked body BEFORE you're married, rest assured, your life AFTER you're married with be a steady diet of abstinence.
October 15th, 2021 at 9:46 AM ^
Until your testosterone drops at 50 and you no longer care about sex, then she wants it. YMMV.
October 15th, 2021 at 10:02 AM ^
Sildenafil is a wonderful thing........
October 15th, 2021 at 1:25 PM ^
That's not his disposition, that just describes what he's been doing with the girlfriend away.
October 15th, 2021 at 8:23 AM ^
The bye week always blows but still plenty of good games on. Becoming an Indiana fan for the weekend definitely. Smoking the brisket is cool but I have 7g of a strain called Mac Daddy OG for weekend indulgence.
October 15th, 2021 at 8:25 AM ^
This is the weekend to take the wife and kids to the cider mill and do whatever else they want so I can watch college football non stop the next 6 weekends.
October 15th, 2021 at 8:31 AM ^
Nothing planned. Going to be a great weekend to be outside!
October 15th, 2021 at 8:44 AM ^
Thanks for your service and enjoy that brisket...... Wild Turkey Rare Breed pairs excellently with a smoked Brisket, FYI.
October 15th, 2021 at 8:47 AM ^
Smoking 6 racks of ribs for HS Homecoming tailgate for today.
Then heading up north tomorrow to sneak in one more day on the pontoon before pulling it out for the year.
October 15th, 2021 at 4:59 PM ^
Now this was awesome. Thanks for sharing!
October 15th, 2021 at 9:03 AM ^
Bye Week Biking (and Beers) with the local alumni club since we still like to get together and hang out even when there's no football. Basically we meet at a brewery, go for an easy ~1 hr bike ride then come back and have drinks and food together. Bonus this time is that the brewery is having their Oktoberfest celebration going on.
October 15th, 2021 at 9:11 AM ^
Probably not much banging but will get in some golf and watch whatever football is on afterward.
October 15th, 2021 at 9:12 AM ^
I finished Squid Games so now it's time to finish out Alice in Borderland. (for those of you who like Squid Games I will recommend Alice in Borderland to you).
October 15th, 2021 at 5:16 PM ^
Squid Game*
Squid Game*
October 15th, 2021 at 9:13 AM ^
Good weekend to close up the cottage without missing a football game. Originally scheduled for last weekend. Funny how things work out sometimes.
October 15th, 2021 at 9:20 AM ^
I'm sure my wife will be consumed with getting our daughter ready to move into her new apartment. I don't see any games on the TV schedule that I find particularly interesting, though I'll probably spend more time than I should watching them. I also have a craving for a great brunch at an Irish pub, so I'll probably head out to a local watering hole if the weather is nice, and maybe even if it isn't.
October 15th, 2021 at 9:25 AM ^
Relax. Enjoy the outdoors. Rejoin society.
...the goal is to store enough calm, patience and goodwill to get me through the second half of the season.
October 15th, 2021 at 9:28 AM ^
go to the wedding for that fan smart enough to consult the schedule before booking a reception hall
Speaking of wedding scheduling, can someone explain the recent phenomenon of people scheduling weddings on holidays? Seems like every wedding I've heard of from people close have been scheduled on holidays. Labor Day, Halloween, etc. Are venues cheaper on those days? Just seems so selfish to take away people's holidays to have them come to your wedding and assuming that people will be willing to give up their holiday weekend for you
October 15th, 2021 at 10:41 AM ^
I don't know about "those crazy kids today". But i do a lot of genealogy research (many thousands of people) and i've noticed that people used to get married on holidays all the time. At least in the 1800s.
it was incredibly popular; particularly new years, but also christmas.
Im not sure if it had anything to do with family and friends already being in town together (though most people didn't travel much back then) or whether it was just because it was a festive, celebratory time in general?
now you know something new
October 15th, 2021 at 1:26 PM ^
Sister got married on July 4th, free fireworks
October 15th, 2021 at 9:28 AM ^
Hoping for some Salmon still on the Pere Marquette and maybe some early steelhead.
October 15th, 2021 at 9:33 AM ^
not sure about the PM, but if you are not finding them, try the crystal. they are still kind of fresh (green/silver) but they are spooking easily per an mgoblog-lurker who was fishing last night.
tight lines
October 15th, 2021 at 6:50 PM ^
We landed two steelhead and eight salmon last weekend. Today we landed two Salmon and zero steelhead.
Are you our friend from the UP?
October 15th, 2021 at 10:57 PM ^
I am, and two salmon is more than anybody else caught today. Good job. What were you swinging?
October 16th, 2021 at 2:31 AM ^
Flys only stretch in Baldwin. Imitation eggs and egg sucking leaches.
Glad to have you posting again.
October 15th, 2021 at 9:29 AM ^
Taking my daughter to a pumpkin patch. Hoping to maybe get a round of golf in. Have a friends birthday to attend but they are big football fans so the birthday will have plenty of TVs. Here's to all of us getting a good bang or two this weekend!
October 15th, 2021 at 9:46 AM ^
Camping and making a pot of chili over the fire.
Speaking of weddings on open dates, when my daughter announced she was engaged and wanted an outside fall wedding I looked a the schedule and told her the only acceptable date was 30 Sep. That was the bye week the year of her wedding. It was a perfect fall day with a beautiful outdoor wedding.
October 15th, 2021 at 9:57 AM ^
Watch football, plus:
1. Repair our washing machine.
2. Do the laundry that has been piling up.
The washing machine always "Bangs" against the wall, does that count?
