have fun madam, I had a very late breakfast this morning as I was on Central Retired Time...
Meeting up with D2 tomorrow to go to the krewe den and pick up throws, then onto king cakes and Perlils stop for her birthday present.

I'd much rather see a rowing team, University Lake would be a good location to base them from.

It's something to be experienced at least once in a lifetime, no doubt. And I think you have the way to do it. The lead-up parades/days are the show. Mardi Gras Day isn't what it used to be, and it's always been anticlimactic to me.
The build up for me has already started...picked up the t-shirts that Lithium, stepson, and I will be throwing. I've rolled and packed 792 t-shirts and have given a few away to friends and family. This is sad for me this year as my LSU roommate who used to help me isn't here anymore to help me.
Going down this weekend to pick up additional throws and spend some time with my youngest daughter for her birthday weekend. That also means a Perlis stop and picking up a few king cakes to bring back.
Open house will be on the 31st then departure for NOLA on the 11th. There won't be a Grumpy Old Man Fest this year but I will have a Parkway po-boy and an early purple drank in old roommate's memory. Float load won't be the same either as he won't be here to sit in the truck and move it after we get everything out.

33 days until Endymion!
Anyway, since 1975, I've only been in New Orleans once for Mardi Gras and that was in 2020 hoping that Tiger Band would march in Rex due to the National Championship.
It didn't feel the same to me. On Lundi Gras, Orpheus and Proteus felt "Meh" to me. On Tuesday, I met up with friends for lunch and to watch Rex, again it felt "Meh" and the excitement level wasn't what I felt in years past.
My normal routine is to get into NOLA on Wednesday, watch the Wed-Thu-Friday parades with float load during the day on Thursday. Friday during the day on Bourbon St is a lot of fun and you can really feel the energy building. Then watching the Friday night parades. Hermes is the same great parade I remember as a teenager, Krewe d'Etat is simply a howl, and I have a friend in Morpheus.
Saturday starts at Muriel's, with a stop at Lafitte's, and ends at the Dome.
By the time that's done I'm fried.
Sunday is more parade watching and I'll make a good bit of Bacchus.
Monday is purchasing the last king cake and heading home.

Let Walz hang himself…he calls out the National Guard to oppose ICE, POTUS federalized the Guard. Walz tells Guard to disobey Federal Orders. Walz gets recalled to active duty from the Retired Reserve and gets court martial.
