I believe Spring has finally arrived with some consistency.\u00a0 I was able to ride assorted two-wheel vehicles all last week, and this week is looking good too.\u00a0 As for our weekend entertainment, things started off rather lame on Friday with my first visit to a physical therapist, in an attempt at fixing up my bum shoulder.\u00a0 My right arm has been a generally useless appendage since\u00a0Martin\u00a0maliciously injured\u00a0it last August…\u00a0 I figured it was about time to do something about it.\u00a0 The Doc agreed with my assessment;\u00a0 He even thought it might be just a few months overdue.\u00a0 Things went very well, I was quite pleased with the results of our first session.\u00a0 (Everything but the bill, that is.)\u00a0 I can actually raise my arm over my head for the first time in eight months;\u00a0 Remarkable!\u00a0 The good Doctor did infer that I might need to work on my communication skills before our next session though, which\u00a0I wasn’t entirely clear on.\u00a0 Apparently he felt I wasn’t adequately expressing my discomfort levels to him, to the point that he actually seemed a bit frustrated.\u00a0 OK, now I’m not the one with all the degrees hanging on the wall, but it seems reasonable to me that if you take a metal object and drive it between some muscles, it’s going to hurt.\u00a0 If you grab somebody’s arm and twist it until it pops, it’s going to hurt.\u00a0 Do I really have to say “yeah that hurts”?\u00a0 Come on now.\u00a0 I guess I’ll just sit there and chant “ow… ow… ow…” next time.\u00a0 That little torture session effectively ended my day.\u00a0 We stayed home for the evening, grilled up a rather tasty dinner, and then watched “Hitch<\/a>,” which we actually both agreed was a pretty lousy movie.<\/p>\n

Saturday morning looked like a good day for a motorcycle ride, so I rode up north to Barry Road and visited the Red Buffalo BBQ<\/a> team.\u00a0 They were entered in a small competition, so I looked over their shoulders for any free ‘Que ideas.\u00a0 Hopefully I took good notes, because they did pretty well in the standings, including a fourth place finish in brisket and fifth place overall.\u00a0 I enjoyed my little ride too, except it was so dang windy it tore up my license plate.\u00a0 After that, we spent the rest of the day sitting on the deck at the Brooksider with Ed and Kim<\/a>, enjoying the weather.\u00a0 Later in the evening they went to a party, and we headed back home for another night of TV.\u00a0 The dogs had been left alone all day, so we had to give them their “social time.”\u00a0 Sigh.<\/p>\n

Sunday looked to be another great day.\u00a0 Although I wasn’t aware of it, Donette had declared it a “work in the yard” day though.\u00a0 Apparently she had invited Ronda and Josh over to help till up the back yard, which we are trying to level out and re-seed.\u00a0 Much to my dismay though, my aching shoulder prevented my from assisting in the project.\u00a0 Darn the bad luck.\u00a0 They made big progress though, and even managed not to tear up the sprinkler system.\u00a0 Now we just have to see if we can actually get some grass to grow…\u00a0 Something tells me that is going to be rather challenging with the dogs.\u00a0 Watching all that work had made me rather hungry, so I made some blackened fish for dinner, which came out rather tasty.\u00a0 We closed out the weekend in the usual fashion;\u00a0 Watching the Sopranos and Entourage, both of which received high marks on the entertainment scale this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
