There is a very real chance I won’t make it through the summer. \u00a0I can’t take the heat. \u00a0This reminds me of the failed Fort Worth experiment. \u00a0Next move, Minnesota? \u00a0Eh, we managed a decent weekend despite the rather\u00a0oppressive\u00a0weather though. \u00a0Friday, I snuck out of work a bit early and headed out to Olathe for some fun at a firing range. \u00a0There were about a dozen of us, and we had quite a time. \u00a0We went to a place called OMB Guns, and they had an impressive selection of entertainment for us. \u00a0We rented an old Thompson<\/a>, which was an absolute riot, and a few other full-auto toys. \u00a0Then, just for kicks, we took some turns with a .308 and a rather ridiculous .50 caliber Barrett<\/a>. \u00a0Good times! After blowing up a sufficient amount of paper, I headed back to the neighborhood and sat out on the Brooksider patio with the regular crowd, trying not melt.<\/p>\n

Saturday Donette got me up at 05:00 and dragged me down to her weekend training run. \u00a0I certainly didn’t hold a lot of interest in getting up at that time of day, but I guess it did beat the heat. \u00a0She was off on a 12-mile jaunt with her training group, so I hauled my bicycle along to get a little exercise too. \u00a0The marking were still on the street from the Fountain Tour, so I hit that route again. \u00a0Good ride I suppose; \u00a0MAN it was hot. \u00a0After that energetic start to the day, Martin came over and we set about preparing for Donette & Kelly’s fundraiser party that evening. \u00a0They “hired” the TFB team for catering, so we had some small amount of work to do before the event. \u00a0The party was over at our friend Susan’s house that evening, and I thought it went off rather well. \u00a0Good crowd, good feed, good times.<\/p>\n

Sunday we got to head back to Susan’s and clean up. \u00a0Eeesh, the “not-so-fun” part of the event. \u00a0It wasn’t too bad, except I managed to torque my old back something fierce. \u00a0I swear, I can’t walk across a room without hurting myself these days. \u00a0All that work made us hungry, so we headed out to yet another fund-raising event for her team. \u00a0One of her fellow runners was out at Cronin’s<\/a> in Lenexa. \u00a0Hey, we were hungry, I needed some cold a\/c to watch the Royal’s… \u00a0Perfect crime. \u00a0Donette sat over at the “girls table” all afternoon. \u00a0Luckily my friend Mike decided to drive out and join us so I didn’t have to sit by myself watching the game. \u00a0We hung out there until 3:00-ish, then headed back to the proper side of the state line. \u00a0By this time, my back was really throbbing, so I spent the rest of the day on the couch watching movies. \u00a0Judging from the twenty minutes it took to get out of bed this morning, that might not have been the best remedy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
