Well at this point just go all out and pull a breaking bad. WW

Or an Operation Mayhem.

Hangout at the seediest bar in town. All day, everyday.

I wish to thank you all for the rather eclectic list of ideas. Now I must figure out which ones to pursue..

Start juggling, or unicycling, but it is a little more expensive upfront.

Make weird "signs" and post them up all over town.

Maybe one like an ad with the number you tear off so you can call it when you get home ( ??? ) except the ad reads "IT'S RAINING MEN!" and all the 'numbers' just read "Hallelujah!"

Or find two signposts really close to one another, and put a sign on one that reads "Step two paces to the left" (or whatever gets them in front of the other sign) and have the other signpost have a sign that reads "That's better, you're perfectly in my sights now."

Little things that make life fun, that's all.

I always enjoyed disc golf to kill an afternoon. Cheap to start and free to play. Plus it's good exercise.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

get a cooler of beer and sit in your front yard with a sign that says, "My boss pays me to poop & sleep at work. He doesn't know it though." and the next day one that reads, "Working from home today."

So I'm stuck in an apartment for the next 6 weeks or so. All of my stuff is in storage 2000 miles away. I'm looking for something to do that's low cost but entertaining. Any advice? I like any and all beer related things, woodworking, fixing things. I just really miss hanging out in my garage and doing little projects. I'm in Omaha if that makes any difference, I've met some good guys but I need something to keep me busy.

Check out Bench, they can probably take care of that "hanging out in my garage and doing little projects" itch -- it's a collaborative workshop. They've got all the tools, you bring your own supplies. Might not fit your definition of cheap - $35/day, unless you buy a $75/month membership, and then it's $10/day.

August 22nd is the Great Nebraska Beer Fest. Held at Werner Park (Papillion, SW side of Omaha). I want to say last year there was something like 70 breweries there. $44 ticket.

If you happen to be able to get mail sent to a non-Omaha area ZIP code and then sent on to you (say, a friend back home, wherever that 2,000 miles away is), send in for the Omaha Craft Beer Explorer's Guide. It's a book with a coupon for a free beer at 9 different local breweries, and once you've visited them all, you can stop by the Omaha Visitors Center for a free pint glass.


I'll see if I can think of more later -- my sister and her family live in Omaha, so I'm down there about once a month or so (Was just there this weekend, will be back down for the beer fest in August)
