What are you doing today?

[Middle Aged Man]

After a month away, I am finally going home. What are you doing?

[Pokej]

The same thing I do every day Pinky. Try to take over the world.

i have about 400 acres of soybeans to spray .....the pigweeds are thick after all that rain over the past 2 weeks...
and the wind is only supposed to be 13mph today.....so it won't blow my chemical into the neighbor's fields miles away....

[StroudSooner]

Hooking up drip irrigation for my maters and squash.

How long does it take to spray 400 acres?

[Stinger_1066]

Got up at 4 am and perused the internet.

Took the dog for a walk at 6:15 am.

Did some pool maintenance at 6:45 am. Drank coffee with my wife under our backyard pavillion.

After that, pulled weeds out of my vegetable garden for about an hour.

Spent another hour or so working on my new garage door pergola, lining it all out and adding brackets to the supports.

Just finished lunch. Getting ready to head into Guthrie to buy some black paint for the pergola. The wife will do the painting. I will mow our backyard.

I'll be pretty much spent by then. Will take a shower and eat leftover Hideaway pizza for dinner, then watch a few episodes of Bosch: Legacy on FreeVee.

Will probably be asleep by 8 pm.

A little longer than spraying 300 acres.

Stop. Please. Enough. You’re making us jealous.

[soonerBAS]

Quarantine due to positive covid. Only mild symptoms so getting lot of yard and garden work taken care of. Back to work Monday hopefully anyway.

[LakelandSooner]

Stop. Please. Enough. You’re making us jealous.

I don't know about jealous, but definitely made me feel lazy.

[1stTimeCaller]

I’m smoking beef ribs and a pork butt. Lounging in the pool, drinking some beer. Stopped to grab lunch at Sooner Dairy Lunch as they are closing up at the end of the month.

[Harry Weenis]

Attempting to smoke a 5 lb chuck roast on my 18” Webber kettle grill.

[RockFlagandEagle]

I won't go thru my list of chores ala Stinger_1066 but it's pool and Presidente time! Maybe i can get 30 minutes before my kids see me out here and ruin me time.

[Lazers pew pew pew]

Projects in backyard, pina coladas, Super Miami, NY Strips on my grill soon.

[KCRuf/Nek]

Don’t worry. It won’t be long before they feel that way about you.

[Stinger_1066]

Normally I go to the gym first thing in the morning, but I knew that would be too much for me today. I'm 62 for gawd's sake.

Wife got all the painting finished while I drank beer and lounged by the pool. I even got in and swam a little. Felt great after mowing the yard.

First time this year I've spent significant time in the water. Heat index of 104 helped. We've had a lot of rain and cool days up until this point.

Tomorrow I hope to get the pergola set up. I'll post pics. Then I'll grill steak.

I'm living my best Socalisooner / Slytherin life.

Try only having a community pool. Everyone else's kids ruin my pool time.

[Boomer.....]

Staycation at Omni. Enjoying pool time now.

[Orangejello Jones]

Cleaned out the garage and mowed the lawn. Patio and drinks tonight. Father son golf tournament tomorrow.

I used to play those with my dad, never did very good but it was still fun.

I've been on all sides of that equation - as a kid, as a lifeguard, and as a parent. Never bothered me at the time, but my tolerance is much lower now that I have my own.

When my grandkids come to visit I cringe.

I'm a curmudgeon.

Haha you've probably earned that right. I'm not in one place long enough to buy a house, so apartment pool is as good as it gets for now. The scenery is very good though, it's the main reason I picked these apartments.

Are you the father or the son in the tournament?

[theresonly187]

How long does it take to spray 400 acres?

80 acres/hour so about 5 hours...not counting driving from field to field...
i'm finished for the day....unless my wife wants me to work in the yard...
a glass of ice cold fresh brewed ginger tea first..

Damn, ginger tea after all that? Maybe with some vodka added. If you have 400 acres of just soybeans, how many acres do you have total?

2350 total....
1450 acres of wheat....500 acres grain sorghum....400 acres soybeans...
after the wheat is harvested this week....all those acres will be planted to soybeans...

Wow, impressive! I have some friends that grew up on big farms, and I would help with the wheat harvest among other things. Driving a combine was fun for awhile, but the regular work around the farm was pretty hard.

These are about 2 1/2” thick

Father.

[LakelandSooner]

Father.

Cool, you guys any good? I did a father daughter tourney once, but my daughter got pissed and quit after 9 holes.

Hopefully there was some club tossing.

That's why she quit, she threw her whole bag in a pond lol.

Great question. We are gonna find out tomorrow. I think we’ve got a shot if we keep cool. We both can run a little hot, especially with each other. This is our first father/son at the club where it’s essentially an “open” type format. Hoping my 11 year old son doesn’t get spooked by the seriousness of it all. Fingers crossed.

It's always tougher when it's family. Let us all know how you do.

Whatever you do, make sure that he knows that anything that goes wrong is his fault. It builds character and memories.

Been there. After my junior year in college I got a job with Cities Service O&G for the summer. They put me in a company-paid apartment across from the seawall in Galveston. The scenery at the pool on weekends was awesome.

What is the format? Straight up aggregate score or some form of scramble (alternate shot, best ball, etc.)?

[ab5sr]

Liquid diet all day. Prep for colonoscopy in the a.m. Could be a better day.

[TheBoots]

Heading to SPI

Alternate. Pick who tees off on odds, who tees off on evens, play the ball to the hole. He will be playing from the womens tees which will be super helpful for me. Haha

Good luck! Let us know the outcome.

[Mr_Robot_ulism]

Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time.

Just make sure you go streaking through the quad later

[Meatgator]

Sunday Funday!

[Middle Aged Man]

Getting up late. Check DB. Do absolutely nothing. Taking a nap. More nothing. Dinner. Check DB. Go to bed. That's the plan anyway. We'll see if Mrs has other ideas.

You need to be giving the ideas!

[Lazers pew pew pew]

Leftover pina coladas and Super Miami and backyard projects.

[GimmeVaughn]

Made some fried chicken for lunch now I'm sitting in the recliner watching the super regional.

Is that a strain of weed?
