I've got next week off and I've already completed every home project I planned, drank all the beer I could, listened to all the tunes I care to hear, lost all my money at the local casino, cleaned the frickin house and banged the wife. What's next? Any recommendations?

    make a nice dinner for you and your wife it's a win, win.. esp if you're planning to buy any more gear in the next month or so. Ha ha ha.

    Learn to cook better. or grill something on the barbie you've never ever would have attempted to grill.

    Dig a pit in your back yard and roast a pig ;) your neighbors will be pissed.. but once they taste the roasted pig.. you'll be the hit of the block :)

    where do you live though? here, i'll be shoveling snow this weekend.. but if you live in a warm place.. go for a bike ride.. it's something that can't be beat. for breathing in some fresh air into your lungs.

    Exploring your own city on a bike is kick **** fun. If you don't have a bike, rent one. or buy one.. they are great heart pumping machines. :)

    go check out your local vinyl shops

    go volunteer at the local pet shelter. who doesn't love dogs?

    Minnesota, I'm thinking Thursday looks like it may be 43 degrees so I'll head north to Danbury, Wisconsin and go ATVing in St. Crois State forest. Might be a little chilly but I am from Minnesota and we are tough.:D

    FL. I went from doing pretty good (I have my own business) to can I pay my phone bill, and eat. I so can't wait to get out of here. The only job I found in IT wanted to pay me $8hr. I almost sprayed the guy laughing when he said that. WalMart pays that to stock shelves:mad: I'm going to have to get rid of an amp just to eat:(

    Edit
    A check finally cleared. I'm going to Denny's!

    Not good advice here. Open container in public is very bad. We have a saying here in Broward. Come here on vacation, leave on probation, come back on violation, incarceration. They make more money on jail systems then they do on vacationers.

    Enjoy the time away from phones, faxes, aggravating coworkers & lament that I only had 1 week off!

    I don't do 1 week vacations anymore, I have to do 2 weeks. It takes most of the first week to truly relax, then the 2nd week is absolute bliss!

    I would get a lot more done around the house than what I can do in a weekends time. I've been replacing the base moulding in the entire house. So far the living room, entry way and 1.5 bedrooms (out of 4), 1 bathroom (out of 2) and a small part of the kitchen are done. A long way to go....

    What would I do with a week off?

    I'd do two chicks at one time. Yeah, that's what I'd do.






    Or maybe follow doro around and take pictures of him taking pictures from the bushes. But I don't know why he needs a week off to do that. He does it every Friday night, like clockwork!
