Big plans for weekend?

My wife's masters Graduation was Saturday so went to that, which was an effort in patience with our 20 month old son.  3 hours later all's well.  We had her family and mine over for grilling.  Wings, ribs, flank steak, pork tenderloin, corn, asparagus, shish kabobs and grilled pineapples.  I spent the rest of the weekend doing yard work and getting the pool ready for swimming hopefully when the warm weather comes back.

I also got tired of the old drop/color stuff so I'm building a self monitoring system using an Arduino first and maybe a RaspberryPi second with PH/ORD sensors.  Kind of a fun project and will make my life much easier when trying to balance the pool.

Congrats to you and the wife.  Sounds like a nice spread you had.   :applaud:

Congrats! 

What is it with graduation ceremonies?  They are always too long.

Line em up...point em at the podium and have them sprint.  They can grab the diploma as they pass and if they miss, second lap time!   ;)

---fudgesicle---, why even go to a graduation?  At least in the Corps, you get ta 'lean back an strut', eyes right an all that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

That grub you had, Kahli, at least made up for it. MM.

Warm weather is hea!  I been in my pool most every day!

Thanks all.  She was super happy to be done with it and I'm very proud of her.  Now unfortunately she wants me to go back for my masters, which I'm not really motivated to do just yet.  Sometime soon sure, but not yet.

Graduations are weird.  I'm fine with calling out everyone's name/acknowledging them since they just spent X years trying to gain that degree.  What gets me is the 40 minutes it takes to march them all in and sit down and then the 40 minutes it takes for them to leave.  They wouldn't allow us to leave until all the graduates left which resulted in my son getting super upset.
