    Default Friday the 13th

    Today is a 'Normal Friday'.
    Next week we will have a 'Friday the 13th'.
    Just curious if you do anything differently with the, 'FRIDAYS'.
    The Good, The Bad or maybe the Ugly?...

    Post your deal, and let's be kind..... Thanks for your time.

    My week is 6 Saturdays and a Sunday. Sometimes I lose track of when it's Sunday.

    Every friday the 13th, no matter the weather. Motorcycle folks and their bikes gather in Port Dover, Ontario. Attendance varies greatly to the season and weather. Maybe only a couple hundred in a snowstorm. 100,000 on a hot day in July.

    That first scene was a pedestrian slalom. Very impressing - thanks for the vid.

    I retired this year (2019) and have enjoyed all my free time.
    My Spyder time is a welcome change from the work week. So every day is a long weekend.........

    Are you one of those who looks forward to Fridays and hates Mondays? If so let me clue you in! There is one way Monday is MUCH BETTER day than Friday! It's seven days until the next Monday, not just three!!!

    I was born on "Good Friday" the 13th (of April)! Every Friday the 13th while he was alive my father always called me and wished me Happy Birthday. Miss him a lot! Now I have a handful of friends who carry on the tradition in his honor. Cracks me up when one of them wishes me a Happy Birthday on FB and all the "acquaintances" who don't know any better chime in.

    I had the same problem. But now I have learned the secret of how to reset my week. Sunday is when the "fat newspaper" is delivered. Works for me. (Except when they screw around and deliver fat newspapers on other days during the holidays)..... Jim

    That won't work here. The news paper only comes out once a week on Thursday. Just ain't enough news to fill one up every day. If somebody cat gets stuck in a tree it makes the front page.

    Around here they call it, "The Suwannee Mullet Wrapper".

    It is 55 degrees here, but it rained all night and it is going to rain all day and all night tonight too. I will let the Spyder rest today. I ain't going to melt, but I don't want to go mud bogging to get out the dirt road either.

    Yeah, if you enjoy washing Jeeps. I drove my truck out and it is covered in mud now. No sense in washing it. Still raining and I have to go back out again tomorrow.

    Normally I don't do anything special, but today a neighbor is hosting a block party with BYOB at 3:00pm and it should be around 70 degrees, going to get a little ride in before than.
