Popular Post goldendesign Posted September 23, 2018 Popular Post Share #1 Posted September 23, 2018 Grandparents had a much needed granddaughter time and allowed WoGolden, SisoGolden, and I to go-to the Tampa Bay Lightning fan fest. This year was better than previous years. Better food, usually they have simple faire, hotdogs and chicken tenders at all the food stations. This year they had all the restaurants open so fish dish for wife, BBQ for me, and a grilled chicken salad for the sister. Yum! Practice and scrimmage was good fun, the young players were hamming it up and even some of the super serious veterans were having fun with the fans. Got some great pictures with players and quite a few new autographs. 9800 people was the total fan count. Not bad for a glorified practice with cheerleaders. How was your Sunday? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted September 23, 2018 Share #3 Posted September 23, 2018 Looks fun, GD. I went mountainbiking. Then, I shopped for food, and a BD gift for my husband. Setup a scavenger hunt for his gifts (super easy...he won't have to hunt far), cleaned the house a bit, and now I am heading to a party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted September 24, 2018 Share #5 Posted September 24, 2018 Rainy day here. Wo7 and I went to First Watch for breakfast. Came home and signed up for Sling TV to watch sporting events on the telly. Watched Washington beat the Packers and cooked a pizza at the half. Drank a Ruination and a Duckpin (a pale ale from B-more). Nap listening to the rain. Watching Sunday Night baseball, Red Sox at Cleveland. Cooked some popcorn on the stove for dinner.

sheep_herder ★ Posted September 24, 2018 Share #8 Posted September 24, 2018 In between doing chores I listened to more bluegrass and ate lunch at the Harvest Dinner at the Catholic Church. Here are few more photos from today. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page Turner Posted September 24, 2018 Share #10 Posted September 24, 2018 ...I went to the Sunday farmers market, then put the color coat on an 80's Atala bike I'm painting. I'm going with a subtle fishnet design in silver and white, so it was a little tedious tying on the netting for a mask. This evening I watched something highly political on TV, that I had recorded earlier. I can only talk to @Wilbur about it, for obvious reasons. But it was very current and politically charged with tension. Chuck Todd was on the edge of his chair. That's all I can say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted September 24, 2018 Share #11 Posted September 24, 2018 Just built a fire at home after celebrating my wife's 50th birthday weekend out on San Juan Island. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted September 24, 2018 Share #12 Posted September 24, 2018 Took bus to Whistler from Vancouver with our bikes..which meant getting up early in morning. Good thing it rained on bus route up to there. Then it stopped raining. After eating strawberry-rhubarb turnovers from farmers' market, we went to a large art gallery of northwest coast Indian art and then biked around on the paths. Looks so different from...15 yrs. ago. Olympic Winter emblems, etc. Then supper where towards end, we wolfed down our dessert before leaving restaurant in hurry to catch bus back to Vancouver in evening. Beautiful red, gold fall colour up there now. Good time of yr. to go since crowds are less insane. Yes, have photos if I can get the card reader to behave.

donkpow Posted September 24, 2018 Share #15 Posted September 24, 2018 The usual plus a few odd jobs. Grocery, mow the yard, clean some carpet spots, prepared a small order of industrial supplies (didn't order because shipping costs more than products), made some minor repairs to a used wooden cane, ....

TrentonMakes Posted September 24, 2018 Share #18 Posted September 24, 2018 It was a chilly rainy day, good for puttering around the house. I spent some more time straightening up my workshop in the basement - emptied some boxes and made some more room (which surely will be filled back up). I replaced the power cord on my electric drill - the old one was deteriorated to the point where the last time I used it I got a little bit of a jolt. While I was at it I also repaired the power cord on my circular saw (don't ask). I went grocery shopping and for dinner I roasted a chicken, and a pan of potatoes, sweet potatoes, parsnips and mushrooms. No bike ride Sunday but I did do a couple sets of bench presses. My legs are still feeling Saturday's ride. For the first time this season I spent a little time Sunday afternoon watching football. I can never get into watching football until we get "football weather". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted September 24, 2018 Share #19 Posted September 24, 2018 The Eagles were playing, the return of Carson Wentz! Whoa - wait - Mom wants to go to the Matinee at the Theater. Evita is a crappy show, and the girl they cast as Eva was too brassy to really understand. But we had a nice dinner after. and my sister was in from Florida, so she came along.
