Today is Friday

Happy Friday, all. What's going on this weekend? I'll take it easy tonight. I'm going to help my dad with some yardwork early tomorrow morning. After that is NU - Texas Tech, which will be a brutal game. But it will be fun because I'm going to Clint's, who is finally off probation and now drinking again, to watch the game. Plus Justin and Mackenzie are in town so they will be there too. So if you are looking for somewhere to watch and want to go let me know.
