Location: Seymour, Tennessee | Hmm,I'll be working 12-14 hours in the hot sun, poor me.
It could be worse, I could be in one of the Marine Corps' taxi-cabs (a navy boat) or I could be living in a tent eating MRE's 2 out of 3 meals a day.
They actually have pretty good food here.
Twice a week they serve Steak (welfare steak, but it tastes decent and at least it's real meat, the hamburgers here have never seen a cow), Shrimp (bugs, I don't eat 'em), and Lobster (bigger bugs and again, I don't eat 'em).
I assume that's what they'll serve for Labor Day.
Interestingly enough, I was born on Labor Day the (1st) and so was my brother (the 5th, 8 years apart).
I call Labor Day Michael Day :) |

Location: Colorado | Changing the plugs and wires on my wife's Buick, taking the boys to see the movie "Up", then having mesquite grilled rib-eyes, king crab legs, and Olathe Sweet Corn for dinner. I haven't looked at the rest of the menu for the weekend yet. |

Best of luck with the carb Joe. Sank the float, eh? I don't miss the days of working on carburetors. I haven't rebuilt one in almost 20 years.
Iffy, dinner's been moved back to 5:00 P.M. on Monday. BYOB. We'll be at the house with the flag out front. :D |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Today, nothing special--just running a few errands.
Tomorrow, picnic with my church care group after church; hot dogs and hamburgers (bringing the fruit salad.) Not bringing a guitar, as I don't think we'll be doing any singing.
Monday, surf-and-turf with my guitar student's family (bringing the coleslaw.) Will probably tote along the Princess, just in case I go & play bluegrass afterwards.
Tuesday, back to "same old, same old."

Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia | Had a great visit today with MM & family. Got to do some picking & singing, tossed enough food on the BBQ to feed an army then played in the pool with the kids. MM was totally impressed with the OFC II and played some kickbutt blues on the Gretsch 6120. I feel truly blessed to have the OFC friends that I've gained over the last few years.
Hope all of you a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!

| Well, I don't know what I'm going to do. I may go with a friend to see the Woodstock Museum in Bethel, NY. It is about a 2 hour drive one way from my house.
If I don't do that, I will probably go and have lunch by the river. I will get some guitar playing in, though.

We arrived backhome at midnight after a nine hour drive...I'm feeling a bit roadworn this morning...Haven't had a chance to upload my pic's yet but will soon...
I just want to echo what Tim said: we are blessed by the friends we have met and continue to meet...And Tim and Melissa were the consumate hosts: Food? are we talking Food? Only the best cookout in a long, long while...I am sure that a small army would not have finished it all; but we did put a dent in it; (no need for Pierce's Pitt this trip)...and we did have a blast picking and jammin...Tim has worldclass guitars and we took full advantage of his music room...and yes, I was/am blown away with the OFC II guitar...elegant, stealthy, but most of all fantastic sounding and effortlessly playable...it is too cool for words...
And to top it off, we had a great time in the pool; Tim and I had to rescue my 2 1/2 year old son who turned submarine while trying to move from one float to another...one of those "it happened in a flash" moments...but he was fine although it added several more grey hairs to my beard and head...the kids did have a great time: my daughter took the picture of the group on the first try...
We just want to thank Tim and Melissa so much for the great time, food, and fun. Wonderful classic Southeastern Virginia hospitality at it's finest...we hated to leave but we are hoping to return the favor with their visit to our Casa...I'll post pic's as soon as I upload some...
Thanks folks so very much!
MM and family |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | So, I went with a few thousand recovering addicts and took over a bridge.
[I am not a photographer, and neglected to take many pics]
Remember, this bridge is over a kilometer long and we filled it from end-to-end.
  
We waited for the tugboat to sound it's horn when we would all hold hands up high...
 
I couldn't take a photo while we held hand, cuz my hands were full! :p |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | After that we went to a concern/fair in the park... (No pics but this one)
These were the Bluez Cruizers and they were very Good!
I left when the Heavy Metal Death Rockers came on. I won't criticize anybody's choice in music.
But Recovery Metal is kinda like Christian Death Metal. It just don't do it for me...
But I did get myself an appropriate T-shirt! :D
Been dere, Done dat, Got the T-shirt. :cool:
It was either this or the one that looks like a "West Coast Choppers" logo
but it sez "Clean & Sober"...
The lady was selling a trailer load of them, hoodies, hats, tank-tops, etc...
Everybody has one of them, but this shirt was the only one she had and I bought it. |

I doubt if there are many of us here who haven't visited that particular creek, but the important thing is that none of us has fallen in and drowned (yet). Happy Labor Day! |

Location: Michigan | Just got back from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. 30+ miles in 2.5 days with 2 overnights at primitive campgrounds. It is hard to believe something so beautiful exists in Michigan. Great fun but lots...did I say lots of hiking. (no guitar for 4 days!) Too many photos to post but a link is here if you feel so inclined:

What looks like a branch spanning the gap is acually the tree's root system. It draws water from the other side. I have pics of the same tree but from the water side. |
