For those of you that actually have a Labor Day (that's Labour Day in Canadian if there is such a thing) what are you going to do?
I plan to either paddle the river or go for a bike ride on Sat. then have friends over for a cookout. On Sun. I am doing a 50 mile group ride then paddling the tandem canoe with my daughter to a party at a friends home on another river. On Mon. I hope to do a family bike ride.
So what are you doing?

Not sure yet. I am suppose to be doing work right now, but its art class so yea. I was thinking of building up a bike...:D
edit: I may, if the weather allows, go on a long stretch of highway, and just cruise with the windows down. Engine purring at 3k rpms, 75mph, music blasting.

The cheetos were me, the prOn was him. I think we're safe because he and I will never mingle while doing those things.

Good policy.
I was aware that the plans were from two-foo(?), but was worried your mention of cheetos might give people ideas...
(There's a comedy song I hear occasionally with the lyrics:
"If you want to make your daddy parts orange, eat some cheetos and watch some pr0n")

Tonight: One of my best girlfriends is coming up for Champaign to take me out as a belated birthday present.
Tomorrow: Project Revolution Concert with paradox and my best friend of over 10 years.
Sunday: Work then possibly ride to the lake front.

How's that a problem, as long as you don't shoot a hole in the boat?
I mean the water will just help cool you off.
