Wow, straight from the monsoons to the 85 degree weather.\u00a0 Nice.\u00a0 How about a little moderation for once?\u00a0 Oh well, I’ll take it over the rain… I think.<\/p>\n
Friday didn’t bring a whole lot of excitement for us.\u00a0 I was ticked off because I lost yet another auction on eBay and it made me pouty.\u00a0 I just don’t get why people pay so much for junk on there, I haven’t seen a good deal yet.\u00a0 I was bidding on some handlebars for my motorcycle, which finally went for $102.\u00a0 You can pick them up brand new any day of the week for $125, why pay that much (plus some ridiculous S&H charge) to buy somebody’s scratched up junk?\u00a0 Crazy.\u00a0 Luckily I got so mad I blacked out, fell out of my chair and missed the end of the auction or I’d have probably gotten caught up in the excitement and bid too much.\u00a0 After that mayhem, we went up north and picked up the scooter from Martin’s house, where it had been stranded all week because of the rain.\u00a0 It was a pretty dicey ride home in the KC pseudo-rush-hour, but I made it in one piece.\u00a0 Once I got home, we shut down for the evening and watched a movie.\u00a0 “Bruce Almighty” was the selection;\u00a0 It wasn’t bad.\u00a0 Better than the last several choices we’ve watched.<\/p>\n
Saturday we slept in a bit, then took a little ride out to Lee’s Summit to that nightmarish shopping district on Chipman Road.\u00a0 Normally I would prefer to avoid such congested areas, but the MPR<\/a> people were having an adoption event so we wanted to check out the pups and say hi.\u00a0 After finally escaping the gridlock about an hour later, Donette rode the scooter on down to the Plaza, where she met Kelly and Lori at the Classic Cup<\/a> for lunch.\u00a0 Meanwhile, I kind of aimlessly rode the motorcycle around, eventually ending up at Knobtown Cycles<\/a>.\u00a0 I’m still trying to find somebody to work on my motorcycle, and they just kind of caught my eye on the way by.\u00a0 It was an “interesting” place, and their rates were cheaper than the dealer, but I sort of got the impression they prefer the American bikes.\u00a0 Who knows, I might take it there anyway.\u00a0 They’ll probably take a crowbar to it, but at least I’ll save $10 an hour labor costs.\u00a0 When we got back home, the temperature in the house had hit like 80 degrees, so we broke down and turned on the AC for the first time this year.\u00a0 Bummer.\u00a0 Since we were paying for it anyway, I sat inside and soaked up the cool air for the rest of the afternoon.\u00a0 Stupid weather.\u00a0 Martins came over for dinner;\u00a0 We grilled some fajitas and sat around making some initial plans for our upcoming European adventure.<\/p>\n Sunday was mostly taken up with an unplanned work-a-thon.\u00a0 Never shoulda logged on I guess, what can you do.\u00a0 We did sneak out for a little lunch at Jack Stack, which was solid as always.\u00a0 It was a little more crowded than anticipated, presumably because of Mothers Day, but we were able to snag a table in the bar area right off.\u00a0 That’s always a roll of the dice, sometimes you end up getting stuck next to a bunch of smokers, but we did OK this time.\u00a0 I had a short end dinner and Donette had the baby backs.\u00a0 I might have been just extra-hungry, but I think that was the best ribs I’ve ever had there.\u00a0 They were no TFB<\/a> product, mind you, but they certainly served the purpose.\u00a0 I spent the rest of the afternoon logged on to work, while Donette went out for some shopping.\u00a0 She brought home a new boom-box for our ipod’s, and a new gas grill.\u00a0 I got the grill put together that evening; steaks tonight!\u00a0 It had gotten so late by then that we missed the Sopranos, which throws my whole week out of sync right off the bat.\u00a0 We did catch Entourage though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow, straight from the monsoons to the 85 degree weather.\u00a0 Nice.\u00a0 How about a little moderation for once?\u00a0 Oh well, I’ll take it over the rain… I think.
