A SALUTE TO MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND | | While Duke Cannon enjoys his labors, he certainly doesn't bat an eye when a federally approved three-day weekend rolls around. Especially this one, because Memorial Day doesn't just kick off summer, it commences all that is good in America—mowing twice or thrice weekly, grilling 70% of your meals, and shore fishing with no intentions of ever catching a fish. Here are just a few suggestions we have that will help you do Memorial Day right. | | If this seems quaint, perhaps even old-fashioned, know that many municipal parks have well-seasoned cast iron grills stuck into the ground like monuments to American freedom. So go ahead and make the pilgrimage to publicly light the coals, flip some burgers, perhaps make some friends, and as a special bonus, remember that doing this in a park means you don't have to worry about one of your buddies passing out in your arborvitae. | | Use your shop vac or air compressor to breathe life into some excellent times. Beginners might want to try a two-person kayak (or inner tube) for a float down a lazy river, or perhaps use air to inflate a unicorn that doubles as a sprinkler. Seasoned pros can go all in on a large backyard pool, and for bonus points toss in one of those floating swans that holds a couple dozen of your closest friends. | | If you're like us and pitched the Christmas tree behind the shed in late January, you'll be pleased to discover it once again—brown and brittle, and dry as a bone–kindling from the gods, in other words. Chuck it on some oak pieces, light it with your American Flag Bic, and keep it going until Tuesday morning (S'mores are of course mandatory.) | | If the grackles are cackling, the blue jays are jawing, and you can't get a moment's shut eye, perhaps consider why your avian neighbors are so cacophonous? Might it be that they don't have a place to call their own? And might you have some junk lumber, a band saw, a bit of woodworking know-how, and time (between ball games, VFW luncheons, and demolition derbies, of course)? The answer is an across-the-board "yes." Trust us: your feathered backyard buddies will thank you. | | Bocce, bags, kubb, Polish horseshoes, actual horseshoes, Wiffle ball, lawn darts (we have a vintage set; one of our most prized possessions): no matter the game, Duke Cannon competes at the highest level, usually with a beer in whatever hand is not required to score points. Let the backyard games commence, and may the craftiest team / pairing / squad win whatever cobbled-together trophy is available. | | Duke Cannon always salutes those who have served, but on Memorial Day, we make sure to stand at attention. Please take some time this weekend to pay your respects—observe a moment of silence, attend a parade, or visit a cemetery, for instance—to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. | | DOUBLE REWARDS POINTS THIS WEEKEND | | The forecast for this weekend calls for a deluge of rewards in Duke Cannon country, because right now we are offering double rewards points on all purchases through Monday (5/29).
