I got many things done this weekend, how about you all?
@Dianora What kind of gardening do you do?
@Gogogadgetpants Just a small vegetable garden. But this year we bought a bag of garden soil and that's taking a fair bit of work to work into the garden.
@Dianora Ah, I dug out my raised beds and replaced the soil this year. So many new muscles got discovered.
@Gogogadgetpants I'm discovering muscles I had forgotten about using the wheelbarrow to move soil from front yard to back!
@Gogogadgetpants just a few important things.
@Gogogadgetpants it was a downtime (and laundry) weekend. Relaxed, recharged and recovered. Mission accomplished. :wink:
@viciousviscosity Laundry! That one is always hard for me. Good job!
@Gogogadgetpants 💪 Laundry conquered… for now…😉
@Gogogadgetpants I got all my horn parts written down and ready for recording next month and I'm getting ready for my "business trip" to Indianapolis Tuesday. Not as much as I'd like but Ill take what I can. =)
@Alanis_Blackcat That sounds like a pretty cool weekend to me! What are the horn parts going to be for in the end?
@Gogogadgetpants It's for a punk band that I play lead trumpet in. I also double on French Horn and the rhythm guitarist also plays trombone so I wrote some harmonic parts to make the brass section sound a bit more "fuller". I don't know how this will translate live but for the demo it should sound pretty nifty.
@Alanis_Blackcat It sounds like it'll be a really cool challenge at the very least! I love when punk bands add a little something. <3
@Gogogadgetpants got all the dog bedding switched out and washed. got the yard mowed and weedeated. trimmed a few bushes. and today was 💯 % lazy. all in all the weekend wasn't lost.
what all did you do?
@churley79 Nice! I deep cleaned the kitchen, made a meal plan for the week, did all the grocery shopping and then invented a weird balsamic cherry marinade because the grocery store had no fresh cranberries. I was pretty proud of how it came out!
@Gogogadgetpants this time last year I was doing a ton of cooking with cherries. even bought a cherry pitter. maybe I should get some cherries the next time I go to the store.
@churley79 I could not stop eating them yesterday.
@Gogogadgetpants I did about 15 miles of #beerhiking and drank many #beer in the forest and then had delicious tacos with good friends. Also painted signs, mowed some more of the roadside, played with the dogs, cleaned the yurt deck, and helped a friend move his generator. And got in plenty of Lazy Ass Porch Sitting, despite the mosquitoes.
@MightyBigCar That is so much stuff! But please, tell me more about beerhiking. I need to subscribe to THAT newsletter!
@Gogogadgetpants #beerhiking is pretty basic. You put a whole bunch of #beer in your backpack, along with a couple of frozen water bottles, all wrapped in a big towel. Add some more water for you & the dogs plus a dog water dish, some snacks and/or sandwiches. Round up your dog and the neighbors dogs. Optionally add friends + their dogs. Go somewhere to hike. Unload. Hike about a mile till you find a good spot to enjoy a beer & drink the beer. Repeat. Get back just after finishing the last beer.
@MightyBigCar That sounds amazing! I would probably fall off a cliff though. I should probably work my way up!
@Gogogadgetpants we've found the optimal #beerhiking to be about a beer per mile with an overall average speed for the entire hike of about a mile per hour.
@Gogogadgetpants some gardening!
