What do you like to do, have to do, or usually do, on a typical weekend?
Just wondering.

Pretty much the same here. Chores like yard work (mowing the lawn, trimming trees or removing them when necessary) and gardening, taking bottles, cans and plastics to recycling, cleaning the house, sometimes maintenance (plumbing or electrical), . . .lisab said:Chores, errands - since it's difficult to do those things during the week

Oh, and I read, family time, etc.
Me too. Hang around PF that is. Seeing a line-out ever now and then adds a little ... Thanks Ivan.Ivan Seeking said:I like to hang around PF and ban people.

Off topic quick question, amongst the mentor's, what is the record for most number of people banned in a single day from the collective hive of all mentors combined ?

You sound like a "http://galleries.burningman.com/" " fan to me... hehe, but I am betting 50/50 that you never heard of it. If not you should do a little reading on it, watch a few video's. They bury large generators under the desert for power. It is for the creative, truly independent, artistic, eclectic crowd. It is on my to do list, but the heat and dust is a challenge for my lungs, nonetheless there is enough cool stuff/people that I may attend someday. It is getting to be a bit pricey as well, but may be worth a one time trip with friends.
As for myself, about every two months, a 3/4 day trip for camping, ski trips in winter, and this weekend to see Pink Floyd (Roger Water's), then the usual around the house projects, mowing, painting, ripping up decks, etc... then at least an hour or two here and there for PF.

As a scientist, my experiments vary depending on my field of study. Some weekends I may be conducting laboratory experiments, while other weekends I may be collecting data in the field.
It depends on the nature of my research and any upcoming deadlines. I try to maintain a healthy work-life balance and take breaks when needed, but sometimes experiments or data collection require me to work on weekends.
Balancing personal life and work can be challenging, but I make sure to prioritize my tasks and plan my weekends accordingly. I also try to make time for hobbies and activities outside of my work.
Collaboration is an important aspect of scientific research, and it can happen on weekends as well. I may work with other scientists on joint projects or discuss research ideas and findings.
Experiment failures are a common occurrence in science, and I have learned to handle them with patience and resilience. If an experiment fails on the weekend, I may troubleshoot the issue or make a note to try again during the week.
