5 day stay at home vacation

[The Original Rooster]

Am I the only one who likes to use a few vacation days to get things done around the house? Between the weather not cooperating on the weekends and everything else I've got to do, I like to do this occasionally so that things ain't hanging over my head.
I'm taking off until next Tuesday to work on the truck, add a yard drain and pipe around the pool, gravel up the ruts in the driveway, add vents to the shed, cut tree limbs, redo the weatherstripping on the front door, and mow if it will ever quit raining.

Sounds good. Whatcha got planned for day #2.

 

[Geffellz18]

Have done it myself a time or three, yes.
For some reason though, the honey do list still gets longer-

Today was day one and with all this dang rain, all I could do was work around the pool, drain the sump, and order all the parts I'll need for the door, the truck parts, and the pool drain. They'll be here Saturday.

That's a lifetime of work for me.

Better hurry, Tuesday is coming……

Yep, I feel your pain. I'll have a plan of things to get done for the weekend and the honey do list will change up to do something else. It never ends.

I like to burn a Friday for 4 or 5 straight weeks to give me long weekends, to do nothing. This will be my first Friday working in a month.

Just a little dry weather and I'll be a dangerous man.

I’ll check with my connections and see what I can do.
You might need to plan some inside projects. Like right now, I’m double checking the mechanism on my recliner to make sure it still holds my weight.

I might add a door security blocker to the front door as well as the weatherstripping to make the front door stronger in case somebody tries to break in. That's my wet weather project.

I took July 3 off to give me a 4 day weekend.

 

[Core Lokt]

yes, I take off from time to time to do things around the house. Sometimes I take off to do nothing around the house but other stuff.

Used to do it a lot in them military...now wife has to crack the whip being retired

 

[Dub]

Staycations are awesome.

I screw 'em up, however....if I mess around take a peek on Netflix.
Next thing I know my dog is in the recliner with me and it's binge watching something with a bag of ice on my knees.

Sometimes it's important to take some time off and chill.

No you’re not alone. The idea that you have to spend a lot of money and travel somewhere way off from home to relax is not in my way of thinking. Though you may want to travel to a place away from home to see the sights is sometimes good, I never got trapped into thinking that I had to go. Most of the time when I do travel, the best part is getting back home.

 

[fflintlock]

I do it about 4 times a year. My back yard and local fishing trips are the best places for me to take a vacation. Of course, any place away from work is a good place to vacation.

Unfortunately I don't get planned weeks off. However most of my 3 day weekends are spent this way.

 

[Mars]

I'd rather spend a vacation working on things around the house or doing some tractor work than go sit on the beach.

Enjoy those holidays and vacations. You won’t get either one any more when you retire
