The "Platinum Prediction" for this day will be that it's the first weekend of the year with temps above 65 without rain/snow.

Low of 53 / High of 72

The ground may still be wet from the week before since there will be a lot of rain the 2 weeks prior.

I find the cookouts to be some of the easiest to host and the widest variety of people and activities.

So what will be on the breakfast menu? Pancakes, eggs, sausage, bacon, biscuits, gravy? I will start the breakfast fire at 8:30AM and once it's out we'll have to wait until lunch for the fire to be rebuilt so get there on time if you're in for breakfast! Otherwise it will burn an extra 20lbs of charcoal to keep it burning.

Also I guess my forecast for the first good weekend was incorrect, then again I only calculated my extended forecast for the last two weeks of March forward. Who would have thought it would have been so nice in mid March? For those that didn't know this past Saturday was an all time record high.

The average temperature for March 17th is 42 °F and the record high 75 °F (2012) and record low 0 °F (1900) .

I am still looking forward to a great day on April 7th!

It's amazing that I have had a MUCH younger crowd of people (18-25) sending me emails regarding the events that I host. I hope we get a lot of new faces in attendance. And as always we will probably have only a half or a third of the people who attend actually sign up.

Don't forget that to meet people that are interested in you at an event you should sign up to attend to let those people know you plan to be there, otherwise people that are interested in you will not plan on attending.

Whatever you want is fine with me. Since you are the first person to respond about breakfast items then this is where we can start. I will bring utensils for the grill, a cast iron skillet. All that you mentioned sounds good. Just let me know and I'll add it to the list of items people are bringing.

One-third of the guys (6 of them) that have signed up are in their 20's, however the youngest woman is 30. So if anyone wants to invite or bring as a guest younger women I am sure these guys will appreciate it!

I do not expect very many for breakfast, as you can see from the response it looks like 3 or 4 people. I would recommend pancake mix that only requires water then I would bring the individual ingredients and make it as we go. You never know if there will be 5 or 50 people wanting breakfast, then again food, including what you share is optional. You can decide if you want the first so many people to get some, just you closest friends, the cutest people or just yourself. If it was posted as a FREE breakfast and a FREE lunch we would have 500 people in attendance.

Hey everyone! Doing a breakfast sounds like a lot of fun!

I'm quite busy this week, but will do everything I can to make it.

If I do make it, I'll do an omelet station, complete with glorious (disastrous??) egg flipping! Either we, or the local critters, will eat well.

Oh, yeah. I'll bring coffee, too.
