Weekend Photography Plans: What are you up to?

Yesterday: Drove 3 hours, shot 3 hours along the Cape Fear river, drove 3 hours back. Tried out the new 85/2 on the OM2N, and also ran a roll of Pan F through, something new for me.
 
The Standard Leica is such a delight to use; it is small, light, and elegant looking while having a butter smooth shutter (release).

We had a crimson red sunset with awesome cloud formations. I have seen too many of them down here, so I just enjoyed looking at the scene from our home, and I did not take any photos of it.
 
I met a couple of film aficionados from a local forum. We talked a lot of film gear over the coffee, walked around a bit in the rain and did some shooting. We had great fun.
 
It is weekend again [just around the corner ...], and it is time to plan for some photography related activities.

I may force myself to use a MF camera for a change.

What will you be doing?
 
Most likely RF with the M6 and Summicron. It's still a new toy for me. Also my wife has taken interest in shooting film with my Leica, so we've been out shooting the last few weekends.

But seriously, I need to get out more often with my 4x5. It's just there is exposed film in all of my holders from last winter and I can't seem to make time to develop the sheets. First I need to mix up my Xtol. :cool:
 
All the discussions about the J-3 and about the 35mm Summicron make me want to use these two lenses. I am proctoring a 2.5 hour final exam first today, followed a while later by a home cooked superb Chinese dinner at a friend's home. Photography may have to wait until tomorrow.
 
My M2 and Canon 50/1.8 have been feeling neglected of late. I'll be taking them both to the Sierra foothills this weekend on a holiday shopping trip. Shooting color film this time.
 
Went to the festival of lights last night and the Christmas parade today. Shot with the Bessa R + Canon 35mm 1.8 last night, SLR w/ 28mm today. Hoping my new Canon P comes today!
 
I have been busy with grading final exams and assigning grades for about 180 students, but I will have some [time] today for photography if the weather stays without rain a little longer.

My camera bag includes:
Canon P and Leica M6, Canon 85mm 1.5 plus CZJ 5cm 1.5 and Summilux 35mm 1.4.

A CV 25/4 is also there.

What have you been doing this weekend?

Sadly no photography... got home Friday night to find my 89-yr-old neighbour with a broken ankle, and took her to hospital. Got home 7am the next day. I've been sleeping all weekend trying to recover.

But... I have 4 weeks off approaching. I hope to sort out my new 4x5 pinhole camera, and get to know my new heliar 50/2.
 
One has to own an umbrella. :) I actually did some shooting yesterday, so I've gotten my fix. I do need some bad weather shots, so maybe next weekend if it's still nasty out.
 
The weekend is just around the corner, so what will you be doing?

It's gonna snow, or rain, or sleet, or ice up -- probably all four -- in this part of the Tar Heel state. :( It's the same weather that's making it rain in Pensacola tonight.

I may finally break open the 800-page Photoshop book that's been sitting on my desk for weeks, flattening negatives.
