Dang, I shouldn’t have made that rash promise about a big holiday weekend synopsis.\u00a0 I got nothing.\u00a0 Or, more accurately, I am too beat to retell it.\u00a0 Something like that.\u00a0 It was “almost” a four day weekend, marred only by a half day of work Monday and a few little oncall interruptions.\u00a0 We started strong on Friday with a little get-together at our house.\u00a0 It was too hot to go anywhere else, so we just invited people over.\u00a0 We threw together some chicken taco fixins, broke out the beanbag boards, and had a little mini-tournament in the back yard.\u00a0 I don’t know if anyone else enjoyed it, but the most important thing is that I had fun.\u00a0 Being a rather short-notice event though, I didn’t have time to think up a good prize for the winning team.\u00a0 But, since that team was Chris and I, I’ll come up with something nice.\u00a0 I put some photos of the event<\/a> up already… rather timely posting for me.<\/p>\n

Saturday started off bright and early with the last of Gabe’s agility classes.\u00a0 There is actually one more to go, but we’ll be out of town next weekend so we have to skip that one.\u00a0 These classes were a lot more fun than the obediance classes;\u00a0 I plan on signing up for it again this fall.\u00a0 He won a medal too, which he was very proud of!!!\u00a0 OK, everybody got a medal, but Gabe’s was the biggest.\u00a0 After nearly sweating to death during class, we headed over to Mom’s for a bit, then bolted back home to hide in the A\/C for a while.\u00a0 Larry and Sharon were in town, so they stopped by and visited with the little-un’s.\u00a0 I even got pictures of the agility class and the kids<\/a> up already too!!\u00a0 Man, I’m on a roll.\u00a0 (While these were distinctly separate events, I didn’t feel like breaking up the pictures.)\u00a0 Saturday night’s entertainment was the opening of the Starlight season.\u00a0 We have season tickets with the Martins again, so we met up with them and sweated through a fine performance of Riverdance.\u00a0 While I take some enjoyment from exaggerating my suffering through these tedious events, I have to admit this one was pretty dang good.\u00a0 Next time we have a party Chris and I are going to have a dance-off to see if we learned anything;\u00a0 Bring your favorite clogging shoes and come on over.\u00a0 In addition to the good show, they served all-you-can eat Jack Stack ribs for dinner, which was awesome.\u00a0 They had some beans and corn and some other stuff too… whatever.\u00a0 They just set that junk out as filler for the rookies I guess;\u00a0 Just ribs and pickles for me.<\/p>\n

Sunday we headed up North (gasp!!) with Ed and Kim for a day on the Martin’s boat.\u00a0 That was pretty much a day-long event, and I’m not sure how much I can really write about sitting on an inflatable chair and floating around all day.\u00a0 Very relaxing though, I can tell you that.\u00a0 After a few hours of aimless rafting, the KB clan showed up too, so we barged up with them and floated some more.\u00a0 Not a really productive<\/em> afternoon, per se, but then that wasn’t the goal.\u00a0 Unfortunately I managed to sunburn my backs, dang it.\u00a0 Quite uncomfortable.\u00a0 After spending the entire day on the floatilla, we all went to Rancho Grande for a little dinner to wrap things up.\u00a0 We had an excellent dinner (at least I did) but then, in the only snafu of the day, came out to find a flat tire on Donette’s car.\u00a0 Luckily Chris “Pit Crew” Martin had that fixed up in an amazing 3.75 minutes, and we were on the road back to the safety of the southlands.<\/p>\n

Monday was a work day for me, dang it.\u00a0 Had to go to work, and<\/em> I was oncall.\u00a0 I picked the holiday to be oncall on purpose, thinking nothing would be going on, but it didn’t work out that way.\u00a0 Never does.\u00a0 It wasn’t that bad, but it wasn’t that good either.\u00a0 We did have a little fiesta that night over at Susan’s house.\u00a0 Lots of good food, and she bought some fireworks too so I got to have my 4th of July fix.\u00a0 Unfortunately all the explosives fell into the “safety” category, but that doesn’t really matter to me so much anymore.\u00a0 My needs are simple; I just wanna light a couple of fuses.\u00a0 There was one large explosion involved, but details on that one must be withheld to protect the not-so-innocent.<\/p>\n

Tuesday we didn’t have anything planned, and consequently did absolutely nothing.\u00a0 We slept in, then hit Sharp’s for a late breakfast.\u00a0 After that, I can’t thing of a single thing we did.\u00a0 I worked on putting all those pictures up, and a few other unnoticable website changes, and that took up most of the afternoon.\u00a0 I did make one little aethethic change and made the links black instead of blue like the rest of the text.\u00a0 I don’t really like that look, but I was getting some feedback that people couldn’t see the links.\u00a0 So, always on a quest to please, I went with a nice basic black.\u00a0 I’ll probably change it again some day when I’m feeling a bit more creative.\u00a0 (I’ve never had one of those days to date, but you never know.)\u00a0 After wasting the entire holiday in this fashion, we went over to Ed and Kim’s house to work on a few projects.\u00a0 Donette helped Kim with some painting, while Ed and I ran a new cable drop to his office for his cable modem.\u00a0 We only drilled one extra hole in his wall;\u00a0 Not too bad.\u00a0 True, it is a really BIG hole, but it coulda been worse.\u00a0 After we finished that stuff, they grilled up some chicken kabobs and we sat around on their porch enjoying the veritable war-zone of fireworks all around them.\u00a0 Man, no respect for the law down on the Plaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
