I was planning on doing some tenting down my the shore over the weekend, but it looks like it just gonna blow all damn weekend. I used to do this every year Memorial Day weekend. Then I bought a camper and started staying in the campground. It just isn't the same. I finally talk the wife into ruffing it this year and was hoping for a decent weekend. :mad:

Looks like a few hours on Saturday morning that won't be to windy, but then it cranks up and is gonna blow all they way thru Monday...this month of May has just plain sucked for wind.....I don't mind 15-20, but once it hits 25-30 MPH it is not so fun!

When will it end...........Early Saturday morning run i guess until the big wind comes again. Who else is sick of this wind? Can we get some stable dam weather for a week just one time a bunch of times now?

First planting of green beans were up about 4" tall and leafed out real nice and now I got just stalks sticking out of the ground from the wind. Guess I have to build a wind break around my garden. It sucks big time.

I grew up with my folks having a cabin on Heart Butte & I now have a place @ DL & in the last 25 years I can count on one hand the number of "nice" memorial day weekends I've seen. :(

Sawyer,
I don't even care about going to the lake this weekend anymore. It use to piss me off. Now I just use this weekend to get a bunch of work done around home, get in some family time and wipe all the honey do's off the list. Then come next weekend when it's beautiful I know I'll be on the water.

Memorial Day weekend is always windy and or rainy and temps are always a crap shoot. For me its always a weekend for projects around home before the real summer fun begins.

good for all of you. I'm stuck at a wedding this weekend.

Who the F gets married on Memorial Day weekend? That's like getting married opening deer season weekend. In my earlier years I'd have skipped it LOL. I have a real short wedding list now. If you didn't come to my reception, your're off my list, unless you were too young or I didn't know you at the time. People who get married on the Holiday weekends are inconsiderate of others IMO. It's also graduation weekend for many. Some people's kids SMH.

Long holiday weekends are a gift, pretty fricken rude for someone to think that gift should be taken from anyone and used on them....haha

I've echoed your arguments many, many times this weekend. Apparently, it's going to be a very fancy wedding. What got me to go was the mention of an open bar. 6 schlitz's......

my biggest complaint is that I wont be attending the veterans memorial on monday morning. Something my Dad and I have done for quite a while now.
