mentality.\u00a0 We started off on Friday with a going away for one of Donette&#8217;s co-workers down at the &#8216;Sider.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t stay too long though&#8230;\u00a0 They had a band starting at 9:00-ish so I feigned interest in the World Series game and went home.\u00a0 Donette stayed until some ridiculous hour though&#8230; I don&#8217;t really know when she got home but it was well after I turned in.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday was a veritable smorgasbord of events.\u00a0 I warmed up for the day by going down to the Brooksider and watching the MU game with everybody.\u00a0 This is the second of their games that I have watched this season, both of which resulted in their only two losses.\u00a0 I think I&#8217;m a jinx or something.\u00a0 After the game we headed over to Ann and Mark&#8217;s for a fish fry.\u00a0 Our buddy Ritchie catches all these fish and then occasionally throw a big fish fry, which I am a big fan of.\u00a0 I had hush puppy duty again, like the last time, and again they didn&#8217;t come out too hot.\u00a0 Man, I don&#8217;t remember hush puppies being that hard to make back in my Caption D&#8217;s fry-cook days.\u00a0 Must take practice or something.\u00a0 After the fish fry, we headed back home and then went to a costume party at one of our neighbors.\u00a0 It was a good time&#8230; It probably would have been even more enjoyable if A) I liked costume parties, and B) I liked talking to strangers.\u00a0 Oh well, it was fun anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday we had tickets to the Chiefs game, so we started off the day with a tailgate party.\u00a0 We went a little more &#8220;upscale&#8221; than usual&#8230; ribs, chicken, green rice casserole, assorted chips and dip, and of course Munkir&#8217;s specialty cookies for dessert.\u00a0 As far as the game, it provided plenty of entertainment and the weather was close to perfect.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t think it could be much better on a late October game.\u00a0 All good stuff:\u00a0 Good tailgate, Chief&#8217;s victory, and good weather.\u00a0 After that we bolted back home, pretty well exhausted.\u00a0 Todd came over and watched some re-runs of &#8220;Curb Your Enthusiasm,&#8221; but I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open.\u00a0 I struggled through the first half of the Cowboys\/Panthers game, and called it a weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Since my little mid-week post below this one, I have changed servers yet again!!\u00a0 (Control your excitement, please.)\u00a0 This could actually be the final iteration of my little project.\u00a0 Once again, still a little Linksys box, but now it is running on a small flash drive instead of an external hard drive.\u00a0 Takes less electricity, hopefully more reliable, and much quieter.\u00a0 I was so excited I even took a <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"NSLU2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/images\/nslu2.jpg\">picture of it<\/a>.\u00a0 That is the whole thing in the picture&#8230; no keyboard or mouse, no monitor, it&#8217;s the whole shootin&#8217; match.\u00a0 That little box is running this site, <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"Kingwood Trophies\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kingwoodtrophies.com\">http:\/\/www.kingwoodtrophies.com<\/a>, and the message board for the BBQ Team.\u00a0 Nifty!!\u00a0 And, while I was messing around with it, I also posted some more pictures for your browsing enjoyment.\u00a0 We have a (huge) photo album of the <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"American Royal Barbecue 2006\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/photos\/arb-bbq-06\/\">American Royal<\/a>, and a few pictures from this last <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"Halloween Weekend 2006\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/photos\/halloween\/\">eventful weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend we went back to the &#8220;run all over the place&#8221;
