I loaded up 3/4 of the family and headed out to lake somerville. We had a good time, but the wind was so bad, we couldnt really enjoy the lake that much as it was VERY choppy. We loaded up tons of stuff in the boat and met a few friends of mine out on the island for a cookout and just to chill n grill. :D

Nice boat.
Saturday planted the garden with the family.
Sunday worked from 730-630

Nothing spectacular. Wife worked Sat. and Mon. so those are just like any other day for me and the kids. We tried to take the kids to see the hot air balloons land on Sun. but it was cancelled due to expected weather... tried to go to the park until... the expected weather came. All in all it was another poopy holiday weekend in which we get very little family time.
 
did you lower the back yet Blake or is it from the weight of the boat? Looks great like that.

It rained and was really cold most of the weekend. I played lots of Black ops, did a little 1:1 crawling and worked on my rc crawler a bit.
Also watched Iron man 1 and 2 and Shooter.
 
We did have a picnic on Sunday before the storm hit but really that's about all we did. The wife was kinda down about all the bad luck. That's two years in a row we've missed the hot air balloons. grrrr.
 
To ride in them or watch them Josh?

I can't remember ever having a memorial day weekend that was good weather. Always really windy and rainy especially on memorial day, which puts a damper on putting flowers at the cemetery.
 
a little of both Lloyd. I installed the rear shackles, which got it pretty close to level. Plus they are stronger then stock, which is more reassuring when dragging the boat around.

In this pic the bed is completely full of everything from an easy up, and folding chairs, to a portable pit, food, 2 tubes, a knee board, clothes, and everything else you need to bbq on an island. plus the boat has a couple hundred pound tongue weight.

Saturday: Worked

Monday: Worked. Then took Grandparents out to eat (it was my grandfather's birthday 2 days before, but I had to work). Then I spent the rest of the day being pissed off because I didn't have a working clutch, and my hobby shop wasn't open again until Wed. Compensated by watching LOTS of Stargate SG-1.

All in all, not too bad. Could have used more of that sleeping though.
