Mine are pretty uneventful (We always do something the week-end before or after to avoid the crowds, thus camping last week-end)

Saturday is yard work, Sunday is Flight musuem with the kids (monthly thing, they have a neat kids program down there where they get to build something different) and Monday is BBQ with in-laws, with discussions trying to solve the worlds problems...pretty uneventful.

Just got a $350 order from Randalls. I figure to put some of that to good use this weekend.

Too damn busy. We may be working Saturday. (where the heck is that recession when you need it?)

I also bought some meat to burn on the grill (including some Brats...gotta try that boil in beer thing)

MT, Creamo gave me the idea of marinating Brats in beer before the b-b-q'ing and man are they good. I've revised the marinade to include a bit of crushed garlic and red pepperb (just a bit) and I always use a GOOD amber or darker beer for the marinade. Come to think of it, this is the only good idea Creamo has ever had.

Saturday - 5k training run, light breakfast, some yard work, cold lunch, then Battle of Britain scenario for Aces High, then check the weather reports to see if surf will be up for Sunday.

Sunday - 5k training run, light breakfast, then either surf or wash the 4Runner and watch the tropical depression to see if the surf conditions improve for Monday.

Monday - Labor Day Prediction Run at local sporting goods chain store - whomever guesses their 5k time closest wins a watch. Could be the only thing I win this year. Followed by a surf trip if surf is up.

(No, this isn't me, but I wish the surf got this big in Florida).

that ain't surfin'. You don't lay down to surf!

damn gulf of mexico. Get rideable waves maybe 4 times a year.

(not that infrequent, but I like hyperbole.) Haven't surfed since high school tho.

anyways, tomorrow is Virginia at FSU so that'll be an all day thing for me. Sunday is recover time and watch the replay on Sunshine Network. Monday is relaxation day. I'll probably log onto AH at some point. Might head over to a friend's house if he plans on grilling and I'll bring some of my homebrews over. Might do some AI scripting for Neverwinter Nights. Dunno really.

Everyone gets to leave 30 minutes early today! But someone has to stay to cover the phones. Guess who that someone is. Yay.

mmmmmmmmm Bratwurst!

Grilled Bratwurst

6 Bratwursts
1 12 ounce can of beer
1 medium onion, chopped
6 peppercorns
6 hard rolls

In a large pot combine all ingredients except the rolls. Simmer for 20 minutes. Preheat grill. Remove bratwursts from pot and place on grill for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Grill until brown. If you sprinkle with water they will form a crispy skin. Serve on rolls with your favorite mustard.

OR (even easier):

12 bratwurst sausages
24 ounces beer (darker is better)
a disposable aluminum pan

Preheat grill and prepare for indirect grilling. Place aluminum pan over unheated part of grill. Pour beer into pan. Place sausages over the direct heat. The fire should be a medium heat. Close the lid and cook for about 10 minutes.

Turn bratwursts frequently.

When the bratwursts start to brown move them into the pan with the beer. When all the bratwursts are in the pan close the lid and cook for about 20 more minutes. Serve right out of the pan so that the sausages are hot and juicy.

Unfortunately, I'm painting the house and doing some roof work

Tonight, Euchre with the Usual Suspects. Tomorrow, picnic at the in-laws. Sunday, picnic at my son's house. Monday, work on my photo project.

Might be able to squeeze in some AH between picnics.
