Holiday weekend plans?????

Anybody have anything good planned (besides tiling your house) for the holiday weekend?

Gas news: (excerpted from AP story today) . . . Retail gasoline prices fell again Monday as this month's big drop in oil prices continues to work its way to the pump.

The national average pump price fell 0.8 cents to $2.793 per gallon, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. That's down nearly 14 cents from the May 6 price of $2.93. Prices have dropped below $2.50 per gallon in some areas.

Gas prices are 37.5 cents higher than a year ago, but the gap is narrowing quickly.

Im heading to my ranch in Westcliffe, CO. Do some horse back riding. Staying as far away from the lake as I can. Seems like memorial day bring out all the idiot boaters.. Be safe out there.

I will be going to the Master's of Waterskiing at Pine Mountain, GA.

Let me know if you are going, I will be there Friday until....

Deadwood, SD for a weekend of Golf. Friend getting married this summer and having a quasi-bachelor party :)

Headed to Lake Nottely on Thursday Afternoon with friends and family. I hope the liquor cabinet is full.

Too cool here to boat so I'm heading to Bend Oregon with the Jeep and dirt bike. I will be gone most of June so I might get my boat out after July 4th.

Going to Lake Hartwell for the weekend. Maybe I can learn to freeride my kids are making me look bad!

Staying as far away from any water as possible to avoid the morons. UNLESS of course i charge the video cam and head to the ramp with a coooler again! :p

Doing a little river Catfishing...hopefully get the big one Ive been after for three years now. I cought his little brother two years ago 32 Lbs.

I agree, our boat will have to sit in the lift unless we go out real early one day. Nope we are loading up the kayaks and are going to find a nice, narrow, cypress and alligator creek to explore.

Planning on running through at least 2 tanks of gas on two different lakes in Arkansas...... Moomba here we come!!!

Going to Phoenix, AZ to visit an old flame for 3 nights/4 days at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort.

Spending this week in Destin, FL, so hope to be back home and on the lake for the holiday.

I pulled our boat off our lake and dragged it home this morning. We'll be heading to my folks house on Chapman Lake in Warsaw, IN this weekend. Ski early and late and I'll be dragging those darn inflatables around during the craziness of the day. Might head over to Bart's to see if they've got a sale going and pick up a surf board.

Whitefish Chain in MN. Hoping for smooth water more than anything!

Going to take my chances with the amateurs :) Heading to Lake Billy Chinook, have a couple of cabins rented, sis-in-law and her kids coming up from TX to join us. Calling for wet weather, high in the 60's, low in the upper 30's. Yippee. Might be a good weekend to take up fishing. From the shore of course :)

IF we get on the water, it'll be early or late with probably just the tube and food. Might let the kids throw a fishing pole in. Otherwise alot of BBQ outside. 80's and sunny in Ohio (warmer than usual)

it's the annual guys trip that I take with a few of my highschool buds. houseboating and moombaing on patoka lake IN

Ooooohhhh.....that's north of Brainerd isn't it? Spent my summers up on Pelican Lake (think it's south of Whitefish). I'm jealous!

Yep, that's the one! It get's busier each year as people from the cities travel farther and farther north to "escape." But it's a big enough chain and far enough north that it's still a quiet getaway.

How far a drive is that for you?

About 7 when pulling the boat. Minneapolis trafic is always the wildcard though.

Be prepared - everything is under construction. Long haul for a weekend ...

Have some friends with property on Yale (sw Wa), so were camping!! Weekend is looking better and better. It cant get any worse its been raining for 2 weeks straight!

What's the wager?

Getting ready to head out to Lake Billy Chinook for the long weekend, have a couple of cabins with our names on it :) My new Grind Water Shaka wakesurf board is on the UPS truck and will be delivered today. We are going to give him until 4 to show up with the new board, otherwise, we are leaving without it.

Cover is from a 2008 LSV - thanks Stacy! Fits great. Still need to go get some pipe insulation to put around the straps before we head out.

bummer! just send the family. and the new boat!

FYI - had the lake to ourselves this morning. shared it this afternoon w/ the green & black LSV, the Supra GG, neighbor's Malibu & 4 jetskis. it was NICE!

Rain and more rain for the Northwest. I feel sorry for those who had big plans for the weekend but then it has been many years since we seen a decent Memorial Day weekend. I plan my trips to the midwest in June just because we have better days in April. Starting around the 4th of July we won't see rain for almost three months. Excellent dirt biking though if that is any consolation.
