    Weekends..... What do you get up to?

    We are all busy people during the week and its good to have a rest over the weekend.
    I love my weekend spare time to do the things that I enjoy, like going out to the movies, restaurants or burning around the bay on the jetski. Sunday night is usually car cleaning time & maybe a car stocktake if needed.
    Just wondering what you guys all get up to.
    How do you spend your weekends??

    As you can clearly see, I spend some of that so-much-prized time over here, trying to help some and giving useless replies to others - just as any other day of the week, I might add.

    My hobbies include fiddling up with Linux (I'm no expert, but I try to learn by doing practical things and following howtos - this weekend was an ftp server) and spending some time with the family. I also try to do some chores that are waiting for months (this time was installing a light above the kitchen sink) and I usually get to the end of Sunday with that "shit, I didn't do anything!" feeling.

      Weather permitting, I may do some outdoors things, but these past few weeks...if the weather wasn't crap, my head was filled with cold germs....this particular weekend it was -20C outside....I thought about shoveling the walk...and thought better of it...snow tonight, tomorrow....I hate doing the same thing over and over again...especially in the cold....

      So I hole up, break out the videos, do laundry in between them and maybe put a few hours in on the video game box...and of course, like mrwho, foolishly deal with the weekend problem posts here. A little later, I may do some exercising routines just to oil the joints...

              Well... it just ocurred to me it would be a cool reply to your comment. Since I'm european, NFL means nothing to me, and I don't give a crap about soccer, Ronaldo and all those bastard billionaire players can come and suck my manhood... so no special meaning on that reply above.

                Totally agree about the soccer, anyone who is paid the obscene amounts they are to kick a ball around for 90 mins twice a week and still act the way they do I think is a total disgrace.

                  Like every other day, I work on getting new files up on my sites. Although we did take some time out last night to go see the Rod Stewart concert at Caesar's Palace. He was great. He's a big English football (soccer) fan. He kicks soccer balls out into the audience at every show. It's pretty funny actually.

                    Priority #1: catch up on the sleep I missed during the week.
                    Priority #2: finish up the latest home improvement projects. I had two interior doors to install. Neither done. The first was supposed to be 30". I bought a 32" door. By the time I packed it onto the roof rack, returned the 32", brought home the 30", the time was gone. Maybe Thursday.
                    Priority #3: laundry, bills. Then back to the grind. =^..^=
                    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                      that was the ONLY thing that drew me to that show...I wanted to ball her something fierce...NFL and FIFA had absolutely nothing to do with it either.

                          In the summer i try to start my weekends on friday afternoons if at all possible. Rip out to the lake and either crack a beer or pour a rum. Sailing all weekend and trying to convice Wazza to get a real boat

                          Weekends in the spring/fall usually mean helping the old man out cleaning up the camp ground a little bit.

                          Winter is cross country skiing trying to get rid of the excess beer and rum on my belly
                          Sliding down big hills on GT's is fun to!
