REALITY: laundry, mowing the lawn and landscaping, painting repaired garage exterior section, painting dining room and staircase, moving furniture, demolition of back room and front door entry way, install new front door, sheetrock and paint around said door, insulate back room, sheetrock backroom, paint backroom, go back to work on Tuesday:)
I fondly remember my Labor Day vacations and fun. There were the 15 years I was mowing prairie hay on an H with a 7 foot head along with baling on a 450 with a Vermeer bailer.
If that was not the fun then it was cutting silage or some other vital concern that one day off of work would cause the world to stop.
Childhood labor, teenage labor and adult labor were my wonderful mentors. Since I didn't have Franco drafting me to take the vinegar out of me by sending me to Africa to waste away, the American people needing to be fed and dear old dad set me upon the path that Teddy Roosevelt's Strenuous Life is a wonderful life.
Although, the idea of steak and brats on a grill with real wood smoke and tall beers does sound like a tempting way to work away the day......how novel that must be.
This year, I will celebrate as I haven't been able to in 6 years: by going to the Nebraska State Fair. I remember fondly the few days before the Fair, working 14 hour days in the pasture, chopping muskthistle, all for the privilege of being able to go to the Fair and work in the beef pit. Oh, memories...
But he died in April 24,2007 he would have been 58 on Sunday,my older sister and husband would come over with the two kids or we would go their house and she would fix him dinner.we go Myrtle Beach the last couple of years on his Birthday, plan on going next Saturday he would like for us to go and try to have fun.
As much as I love burning meat in the yard I really can't get into hanging around a hot grill in 90° + weather so I guess I'll have to stay inside and guzzle beer. I can deal with that. Just wait until Thanksgiving.
In New England, we usually get the BBQ to serve double duty -- cook the food, and warm up. Brrrr. 90 degree weather is something you read about happening in far away, exotic places. Here, it's a touch of fall, warming all the way up to 69 degrees midday Sat; maybe touching 80 big ones on Labor day.

While y'all are relaxing by the pool, I'll be slaving away, attempting to bring justice to deadbeats :-P Granted, they'll be partying by the pool until I show up, but that just makes my job easier.

First a 240 mi drive with kids and dog. Approx. 20 lbs CO2
Production continues shortly after arrival:
Small John Deer yard tractor to cut driveway and part of yard. Approx. 3 lbs CO2
15 minutes with push mower for hilly area. Approx. 1 lb CO2
Fire up string trimmer. Nasty little 2 stroker, smokes like a bugger until it warms up. (hold throttle wide-open for 15 secs!) 15 min runtime, minimum ½ lb CO2.
If the weather holds, put speedboat in. Three-cylinder version of string trimmer. Smoke? Oh yeah! Run it wide-open! Approx 15 lbs CO2. (into lake tho, does that count?)
Kingsford charcoal. Depending on guest load, 4-40 lbs. Approx CO2, who cares, it smells terrific.
Eat meat and drink beer. Possible methane issues here; quantification uncertain.
Pontoon ride. This has one of these new fangled 4 stroke outboards, don’t think it produces much CO2 but if you are not real careful when you check the oil…slick-city!
If cool at night, stoke that old Earth Stove. Surprisingly similar to string trimmer and out board, but ya gotta have a fire!
Scramble to put everything away Monday midday and head home. Approx 20 lbs CO2.
I feel just terrible about the footprint. Hope there aren’t too many other people abusing the planet this way.
Good point on the sundry items. If I had a dime for every pound of styro and alum generated by myself and my brothers…. Well, we could pay for the new roof.
There is a deep part of the lake for Al, if he’d just reply to my invite.
For me its just hiding in the woods and doing my Ernest T Bass impression. You know, throwing rocks at cars and generally trying to ruin everyone elses day.
Hey Andy! You ain't seen the last of Ernest T Bass!
Bet you guys love vacations. I haven't had a "vacation" in something like five years. Whenever there's a holiday, that means the place I work (I do security) has to man double shifts to watch all the stuff in the empty building.
Getting in the last bit of summer sports, golfing and baseball/softball, some frisbee and lawn jarts. The beach is usually beside a small man made lake, on occasion just a nearby river.
I wonder how much CO2 was spent making that lake? I'll bet everybody feels real guilty, now, enjoying the lake, no? Or at least the carbon police would want you to.

i'll be working, and will probably put in overtime. why? because i'm a evil greedy conservative? well despite what liberals can't understand with a capitolist economy, instead of their utopian dream of a diluted, equal misery, equal outcome economy, my skills and knowledge are sought after and if i could work 24/7 people would pay me to do it. but instead i'll just work a typical day, not because i'm greedy, because people want my abilities. that's why liberals hate conservatives, because their abilities make them capable to live life without being dependant on big government.
or maybe liberals are jealous because their skills and abilities aren't as sought after. for some reason that liberal arts degree in basket weaving with organicly grown goat hair and hemp isn't making them the millions they had planned when they were having fun portraying themselves and being "in touch" to their college classmates.
I will be barbequing in the backyard. Too much traffic out on the roads for me during holidays like Labor Day. We plan on going camping next week after everyone goes back to work. That's the luxury of being retired, we can plan our trips around holidays and kids going back to school. I hope everyone has a happy and safe Labor Day weekend!
Barbecue is phase 2 of Labor Day. In Texas, we start the holiday weekend off by dusting off the shotguns and securing our own meat on September 1st. There's nothing better than bacon-wrapped dove with a little jalapeno on the grill. Have a great, long weekend everyone.

My Mom used to quick-fry our doves, in grease so-hot you could crunch all the bones but the legs and the breastbone. Yum...Fried doves & quail...And I loved the REAL stuffed jalapenos of Texas when I was out there -- not like the mass-produced Mcjalapenos chain-places like Chili's put in front of me (which I'll also devour, unfortunately!). Those & a bucket of longneck beer mean a nice time watching football.
JMR
Man, I love fried stuffed jalepenos. The hotter, the better. And I don't care if Chili's or whoever makes them, as long as they aren't soggy. They have to be fried in really hot oil, just long enough to make the cheese all nice and gooey and the outside nice and crisp.
Youch. Just the homemade chili's coming up soon for jalapenos, gotta water 'em down some. McIlhenney Co. tobasco, and some ortega taco sauce, and original ortega corn hardshells (best best best).
Here for the hunt it's venison (some quail) or fish, but I've gone for the blue cheese and bacon burgers, (local deli/market makes em - man are they the best ever ) and of course the best baked beans in the world - Bush's baked beans, in a variety of flavors.
I am taking down notes from all the posts and I'll be sure to keep them handy when the grill gets going tomorrow. We just got back from the lease and it was a reenactment of "Apocalypse Now" with all the birds we brought home. Sarc, I'll be sure and send you a couple fresh off the grill.
Maybe we need to create a NB cookbook. We could even allow the trolls to have a section for their harvest burgers and tofu finger-foods. Just a thought.

NB Cookbook? How about, instead, an NB Cookout? That way, we could all try out our favorite recipies and dinnette settings. Some of my favorites:
Anti-liberal spread
Roasted pork "ala Muslim-blessed" slow-cooked over a roaring fire fed by MSM-newspaper logs
Nice BBQ pit on the beach, kept alive by bellows made from Kerry and Clinton flip-flops
John Kerry tossed-medalian salads
Might be too late now for Labor day, but Veteran's day is just around the corner. Wonder what kind of flag Murtha, Reid, and Pelosi are going to fly then? White, perhaps?

Just thought I'd take a moment and say hi to everybody.
Doing eight thick chuck-burgers tonight, with white American cheese, along with my trademark (severely) oven-roasted potatoes (I'm talking until they wrinkle and have a nice little crust) and some chili beans just to round it out, as I am a little tired of the regular variety.
A beer or five makes it darn-near perfect, I'd say.
Hope all my friends are having a great Labor Day.
EDIT: Added two burgers. Getting a little crowded here, it is.
EDIT#2: Now the cheese is smoked provolone & white American.

Aweome Dave, We went to a barbeque yesterday and some food was cooked well, but the majority of the chicken and hot dogs were burned to a crisp. We could have used your expertise yesterday:(
LOL-Well, I call it experience, and especially in not wondering away from the grill while that all-expensive meat is on it. Even if it is the less-expensive kinds, like London Broil (mmmmmmm) or chuck roast (mmmmmmm*3), two of my serious faves, (as the marinade possibilities are endless).

LOL-Well, I call it experience, and especially in not wondering away from the grill while that all-expensive meat is on it. Even if it is the less-expensive kinds, like London Broil (mmmmmmm) or chuck roast (mmmmmmm*3), two of my serious faves, (as the marinade possibilities are endless).
In the end, it has to be done RIGHT.
Y'all have a good one. I gotta get to bed.
Dave.
