What would you do with 1 month off?

[Skywalker]

What would you do if you had one month off starting today???

That is my case! I'm off for the entire month of July!

Please provide me with some ideas!

[loki]

herf

[14holestogie]

Golf, smoke, sprinkle some cheap household projects in, chase the little woman around, etc. :)

[ActionAndy]

In no particular order: Read a few books on my list (Sirens of Titan and Slapstick by Vonnegut, Blood Meridian by McCarthy), sleep in every day, smoke whenever I wanted, run out of money, get drunk until I heave, get drunk until I have a decent buzz and then responsibly switch to water, get some writing done, change my oil, buy some comic books.

[BlackDog]

Camp and fish; then fish and camp.

:tpd:
Great Tims think alike!

[TheTraveler]

Depends on two things: money and significant other. If the money is there and the significant other is accepting of the idea of staying home while you travel --- hit the road and herf with some fellow CA members one or two states away from you, maybe even further away. Head into a major city and check out their B&Ms. Head to the beach and herf & surf. I'd definitely hit the road if money allowed because you're usually restricted to the occasional long weekend if you want to travel, and vacation time is normally alloted for group/family plans and herfing is a second thought (if it's even considered). :tu

[gettysburgfreak]

golf, sex, golf, cigar, golf, sex, road trips, more cigars... a guy can dream right?

[taltos]

If I could convince the wife to let me do it, I would head down to Pennsylvania for a week of camping and fishing chalk streams.

[bobarian]

I would fly to San Diego on the 9th for the S.H.I.T herf, then up to LA for 3 days of SoCal X. Rest a few days, then herf at the Barn with the boys. Then arrange a secret herf n shoot at Ratters on the 25th. Spend the last week of the month at home with family, drinking Sierra Nevada on the patio while smoking good cigars! :banger































Did I win?:r:wo

[shilala]

I'd lay around, make stuff, hurt myself, go to a couple doctor's appointments, and work some sex in.
It's pretty much what I've been doing for the last 22 months off, except I mix up the order some days.
I planted the garden and cut some grass, too. That's cool.

[LordOfWu]

Jiu Jitsu, cigar, eat, sex, repeat!

Does the mix look like... I'd lay myself, make myself hurt, stuff myself, go to a couple doctor's appointments, and work some sex in... with myself???

Sorry Scott!!! I couldn't pass up the opportunity!!!:r




Great answers everyone!!!

BTW - Bob, I think you have an agenda!!!

I'm pretty progressive and forward thinking, so anything's a possibility. roffles. :)

[rack04]

If I had a month off I would become fat and lazy. Seriously I need to work. :)

[OLS]

I am thinking that you are being furloughed to save corporate wonks their cocktail hour??? In that case I would do stuff that brings in food at least, I would do alot of fishing. For the cost of a license, you can put alot of food in the freezer. I would go to Salvation Army and get a fishing pole for option A, then dig some worms and get to "work". You can smoke while you fish, too.

RG for a good sport!!!

I plan on doing the fat and lazy thing for sure!!!:tu

[pnoon]

BTW - Bob, I think you have an agenda!!![/B]

And why don't you have the same? If I had the month off, I would take in as many herfs as possible - especially the big ones.

[kaisersozei]

You live in Chico and you have to ask what I'd do for an entire month?


Why, I'd be here:

herfing with you, my brother.

[kelmac07]

All great ideas...and be sure to enjoy your time off!!!

[csbrewfisher]

Jiu Jitsu, cigar, eat, sex, repeat!

That's what you do anyway!!!!

[Darrell]

I'd fish everyday and never miss a Giants game (which I seldom do anyway).

[Noodles]

Fly to France to watch Tour De France. Cigar culture in France aint' bad either ;)

[icehog3]

Like Bob said, I would take the first week and hit SoCalX.....then I would head to Ireland for the last 3 weeks and drink all the Brainblasta Stout I could afford. :)

[Noodles]

Another thing I've been wanting to do is study Spanish. Of course I will do this in Cuba :banger

[Skywalker]

This is how I started:

DPG Blue and Bloody Mary!!!

That sounds (and looks) freakin tasty!

[kelmac07]

Awesome start!!!

[The Poet]

Justin hit it right - get a job, ya lazy #^@&.

[doctorcue]

I would get up at a decent hour each morning. Hit the gym for 60-90 minutes. Then I'd come home and do what ever I felt like each day. Booze, cigars, read, etc. It's summer time; let the hangovers determine your activity level on a day-by-day basis. :tu

Try to login every now & then so we can monitor the MOBD shenanigans. :D

[Prozac_Puros]

I would try to hit the CA Herf Trifecta...
Shack Herf
MOB Herf
Masshole Herf

And play a hell of alot of golf :ss

[Texan in Mexico]

Sleep, chase the gf around, sleep, play with dogs, sleep...

Please insert cigars between each of the above activities.

What would you do if you had one month off starting today???

That is my case! I'm off for the entire month of July!

Please provide me with some ideas!

[markem]

I'd take at least 10-14 days and spend it at the Hawksbill resort in Antigua. A very nice place.

[Old Sailor]

Do like I do, with every other month off.....absolutly NOTHING!!!!:r Oh, and I'm off for 3 months right now.:ss

[shilala]

It's about time someone mentioned a good nap.
Vacation naps at 2:00pm are priceless.

DPG Blue and Bloody Mary!!!

Works for me. But I'd probably be drinking and smoking at a local pool hall where I could enjoy the a/c as well.

[BigAl_SC]

My month would depend on money!

Normal money! I'd hit the road, herf with everyone, see the tourist attractions, national parks ect., maybe a small cruise.

Large money! I'm on a month long cruise to Europe and the Med.

[GTCanuk]

Spend 3 or 4 days with the niece and nephew then up north camping smoking cigars around the camp fire:dr

[bigloo]

African Safari. Although whatever I did, I would grill every dam night!

Grilled a tri-tip tonight!!! It's summer!!! Grilling is what I do!!!:tu

These are exactly the things I was going to say to do. Anything and everything you can do with the kids and SO. All those things you said you'd play with them in a minute and forgot to get around to. Find some new stuff to explore with them.

So sayeth the part time dad who told his own 'ok, in a minute' and got distracted so we couldn't play the game the last night I got to see him before he headed to Cub Scout camp without me cuz work won't let me. (learnin the important stuff the hard way)

[rizzle]

Fish, boat, smoke cigars, drink adult beverages, sleep, golf, watch bikinis, work around the house. I think that about covers it.
:D

Where's the pics of you lying on the couch?

[gnukfu]

No beer?

[Cigary]

I've been doing this since 1996,,,retired and loving it but it's not for everyone. I take cruises or travel,,,play golf, ride my motorcycle and do yardwork and smoke cigars. Retirement is everything I envisioned.

I guess it isn't a secret anymore, Bob!

Where were you last weekend Darrel?? You should have driven down with us!

[Starscream]

That is my case! I'm off for the entire month of July!

Please provide me with some ideas!

I've got two months off here. Yard work, family reunions, cleaning out the garage, taking the kids camping, fishing, smoking cigars, going to movies, extra time on CA, then boredom starts to kick in during the second month.

[cigarwife]

[flat6nut]

If I had a month off I would end up homeless because someone has to pay the bills.
