Sounds like you're in for a fun weekend. You'll have to let us all know how it went.

*edit to add my plans*
If the weather behaves, my wife & I will be going biking at Sandy Hook.

 

i'm working this weekend. actually i'm probably working every day for the rest of the month starting tomorrow. aside from the current circumstances, i am also waiting for my most important reagent to arrive to finally run my samples and wrap up the current line of investigation by the end of the month.

also, we may finally be adopting a senegal parrot this weekend! we're still negotiating price.

squid.... i have to say i'm pretty surprised considering what i've seen you post previously. i think you'll have a good time though

 

Welp, we're taking our Prius on it's first road trip! We leave for the Outer Banks of NC for a nice quiet week. Well, as quiet as two parents can have with a 20 month old boy. :lol:

We're taking two cars with us (My mother is coming along - hey, it's a big house) and unfortunately, I won't get to drive the Prius for the trip down. I lost the coin toss <_<

Egad man! Stand up and fight! Declare the coin toss to be unfair! Call in the negotiators! This could be spousal abuse in the worse way! Hire a lawyer! Fight man, fight! Lie. Feign illness or injury! Do whatever it takes- but don't give up the Prius!!!!!

 

This weekend we are guests at a wedding. Next weekend is a trip to the Peterson Automotive Museum to see their exhibit on alternative power for vehicles.

 

Going up to the Sierras (in the Prius) with my father to do some hiking.

 

Saturday morning: re-program CAN-View with codes that support the OBD-II upgrade I did. B)

Afternoon: upscale sex shop in Manhattan with two of my friends (a couple)

Night: hopefully, dinner with a girl that I want to date.

Yep, busy busy weekend.

I feel your pain, Gal. I had to work last weekend because one of my reagents was backordered and finially came in late Friday afternoon. Results were needed by the end of the day on Friday, of course. They had to settle for first thing Monday morning.

This weekend isn't looking any better. I will be cutting the grass, cleaning the gutters, cleaning the garage, and unfortunately about 20 other things on my honey-do list. Maybe I can squeeze in a movie or something fun.

 

getting a quote from and arborist on the removal of a nasty invasive tree to plant an oak, heading to mchenry county for a party, visiting the land we are buying to check it out, going to a cubs game and hopefully heading to the lake to witness the magnificent monarch migration (it's at peak).

oh, and i just got my shipment of zaino and would like to protect my prius but judging by the zaino thread, i'll need a whole weekend to do this! ugh, on the multiple coats thingy.

thanks skwyre

they had to ship the thing in from sweden. sweden! because there weren't any in the US. at all. and it's radioactive, and a scheduled drug, which slows things down. has to run through rad-safety, etc. argh! :angry:

i'm fortunate that my end-of-september deadline is an internal deadline, not an external one.

DH has a honey-do list too... but "doesn't feel like doing anything" about it right now.

 

Saturday~ Baby shower (yes, for me)
Sunday~ Sleep in, relax, spend some quality time with the DH (go to a movie, on a hike, etc), family dinner

I'm jealous geologyrox. Where are you going on your cruise?

I'll be wearing my "I'm With the Band" t-shirt tomorrow night. My boyfriend's band is opening for Coco Montoya. First thing I'm doing though is taking Trixie for her weekly hand wash. She needs to look purty for the weekend.

Gosh, I just had to get concentrated acid, which is only hazardous (by hazardous, I mean it tends to explode because it's a strong oxidizer and reacts violently). I can't imagine having to wait on radioactive, scheduled drugs. That might be as bad as waiting for a new Prius to make its way from Japan, but not nearly as fun! :lol:

I think I faintly remember something like this going around at a concert back in the early 70's..... not sure if it was Swedish though....maybe Columbian....I don't know....it's all so fuzzy now......

 

heh.

and it was radioactive?!

... what i'm working with is er, i guess you can call it the opposite of pot.
