MegaCarp Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 You know recently, I've realized my life can get pretty stagnant because my creativity hasn't kicked in in awhile. So I thought I'd start this thread to hear what all you guys have been up to, and not only maybe hear some cool ideas to do, but enjoy the stories. This weekend, well I'm hoping to get some old school Legend of Zelda in, and some painting of Flames of War miniatures. That's about it. Quote Link to comment
Haikoo Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 This evening we went out kayaking on the lake! It was fun My muscles are not built up yet so I got tired and I'm going to be sore tomorrow, but still loved it and can't wait to get out again. We saw lots of duck families...I saw a little muskrat and lots of large jumping fish. Good times! Oh, and last night we took the kids out to hit baseballs and do some catching. I don't know what the rest of the weekend will entail.(edited to attach pic)[ATTACH=CONFIG]3900[/ATTACH] Quote STR 7.2 | DEX 3.5 | STA 5.8 | CON 8.4 | WIS 5.55 | CHA 5.5 Most Recent Challenge Link to comment
Kewilson Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Hitting the gym for some lifting, plotting out my interview schedules for next week, maybe seeing Prometheus, reading a bit of my book, finalizing my goals for the next six-week challenge and probably some light statistics and writing.

leadchipmunk Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Yesterday, I got one of the two parallettes built that I need for the challenge. I don't have the right blade for my hacksaw, so it takes forever to cut through the PVC, and I don't feel like buying the right blade, so I'm stuck taking the rest of this weekend to cut and piece together the other one.Today, I'm hoping to get to the range and get some shooting in, haven't done that in a little while. And Sunday I'm taking my dad out to eat for Father's Day, and I'm probably going to try to get some measurements to figure out the best way to tackle this upcoming challenge and maybe get some preliminary scores set up.

WarriorAmy Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Today we visited a Kindergarden open day. We have no intention of enrolling our children, just taking advantage of the cheap petting zoo & jumping castles. We then went for a walk to the shops to pick up some groceries, I did a few hours of work and am now at youth group. Tommorrow we are heading to the markets to buy some delicous fresh honey, and then we'll bum around the house. It's going to be great!

MegaCarp Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Awesome Haikoo, I tell myself sometimes I'd like to learn how to do something like kayaking, but that lack of swimming ability thing makes me nervous.Lead...haha definitely want to go to the range, but still a rookie.

Oogiem Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 We've got ewes lambing still so watching pregnant ewes and peering at sheep udders regularly. Need to move sheep this am and get the bottom east orchard pasture mowed. It's the North Fork UnCorked wine event in our valley this weekend so I'm open for business and giving farm tours from 11-4 today and Sunday. Will probably make my husband a nice rack of mutton for dinner on Sunday, depending on sheep needs. If we're out there with sheep I'll do a rain check for that. And we hope to get the first cutting hay into the barn today if the stack wagon isn't broken. We hire a custom farmer to do it and his equipment is always in a fragile state. But it's all baled so ready to pick up. Quote Oogie McGuire Black Sheep Shepherdess STR 4.25 | DEX 4.5 | STA 3.75 | CON 3 | WIS 4.75 | CHA 1 Link to comment
Seabright Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Planning a mountain bike ride this morning on my completely and totally EPIC new mountain bike. Tomorrow I've got a horseback riding lesson where I'll be working a cow or two. Somewhere in there I have to wrestle the out-of-control grape vine, mow the lawn, make a new recipe for dinner one evening and maybe try to slip in a power-nap in the hammock. Oh, and plan my goals for the next 6-week challenge.

BadWolf Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Well, I'm working today until 4, then going to the orchard to pick some sweet cherries (some = about 4 lbs.), then getting pizza with my dad and helping him start using facebook and email. Quote Current 6 Week Challenge Link to comment
cracked_belle Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Awesome Haikoo, I tell myself sometimes I'd like to learn how to do something like kayaking, but that lack of swimming ability thing makes me nervous.I HATE swimming, personally. I typically refuse to get into water unless I'm bathing, or I've got a life vest and a paddle with me, lol. I'm a hard-core kayaker, white water rafter, canoer, etc. I love it!!

Xena47 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Well, yesterday I did my body weight workout and then played my harp at the local artwalk. Today, I'm doing a little housework and net surfing and puttering around the house. Probably tomorrow I'll do something for my husband to celebrate father's day. Probably some awesome cooking. Man, that sounds boring... I need to plan something more exciting for next week.

Sambalina Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Yesterday I went to the Korean Folk Village with some friends, and then visited my Korean friend's parents house where his mum made us delicious Korean food (She made ALL of it, even all the sauces and pickles herself!). It was good! Today I'm travelling into Seoul to see a rose festival, and then off to see Men in Black III and have dinner at TGI Fridays.

Church Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 This weekend I'm chilling with my little brothers and celebrating fathers day with my step-dad, tomorrow I'll probably go to my dads place for fathers day. And I need to study for my trade school finals and provincial test next week but it's getting darn hard to keep looking at those books! Lol. Did some running and working out too.

Was a lot of fun, but if you have a tendency to hyperextend your elbows (like I do) then make sure it's bent to avoid a bow-string bruise such as this.
