Please pardon my tardiness.\u00a0 I have the day off and this wasn’t extremely high on my list of priorities.\u00a0 Looking down my list of accomplishments for the day, it’s apparent that nothing else was either.<\/p>\n
As a matter of fact, I had Friday off too.\u00a0 Donette and I had lunch at Lew’s<\/a>, then I met up with Martin and K.B. at some point in the afternoon and we hung out at the Brooksider talking BBQ and such.\u00a0 After a while the girls met up with us and we went across the street to Carmen’s<\/a> for a little evening repast.\u00a0 We hadn’t been there in quite a while, and honestly it hasn’t changed much, which I’ll take as good thing.\u00a0 We started off with the stuffed artichoke, which is always solid, then split a plate of my favorite entree;\u00a0 Fettuccini al Diablo.\u00a0 I ended up with squid tentacles all tangled up in my grill work, but it was worth it.\u00a0 What the heck, I don’t have to look at it.\u00a0 (Stupid braces.)<\/p>\n Saturday was downright event-filled. \u00a0 We started off the day by laying down a solid base of feed at Sharp’s<\/a>.\u00a0 Perhaps of note, if not really of interest, I voted on branching out and going to Georgie Porgies<\/a>.\u00a0 We went there quite a while ago and it was “OK,” so I thought maybe we should give it another chance, as opposed to the same ol’ Sharp’s.\u00a0 Plus, if I’m going to get car-jacked I like to get it out of the way early so I have the rest of day to recover.\u00a0 Anyway, I got voted down, as in all other walks.\u00a0 Naturally Sharp’s was just as good as ever though.\u00a0 After breakfast I met up with my buddy Mark, one of my Brooksider partners in crime.\u00a0 We drove out near Lone Jack (in “my” fine purple Civic I might add, which he is now the proud owner of) and met up with one of his co-workers who owns some land out there.\u00a0 We spent the entire afternoon shooting targets of various composition;\u00a0 everything from balloons, to golf balls, to assorted fruits and vegetables, to traditional paper targets.\u00a0 Naturally the sound of even small-caliber gunfire brings out everyone in earshot, and after a while a pretty good little crowd gathered to plink around.\u00a0 One guy even brought a cannon he made.\u00a0 It looked pretty cool and got lots of oohs and ahhs when he shot it off;\u00a0 I crawled under the truck when he lit it and missed the whole thing.\u00a0 It was just a fine time, and I managed to shoot up my entire 550 round box of .22’s I took out there.\u00a0 Oh well, that’s the beauty of .22’s;\u00a0 That whole afternoon of entertainment ran me about $12.\u00a0 About 5:00 it started raining pretty hard, so we packed up and scurried back to KC.\u00a0 Donette had been running around the city with Susan W. all day, so her husband John and I met up with them at Jalapeno’s<\/a> for some dinner.\u00a0 We had a nice long meal, after which it struck me that I was totally exhausted.\u00a0 We had a few games of cards in the works, but it was apparent that I only had about 30 minutes of steam left in me, so we just went home and called it a night.<\/p>\n Sunday, well…\u00a0 We tend to not do much on Sunday.\u00a0 I think I used that nasty wet crappy snow as an excuse to just hunker down all day.\u00a0 That’s pretty much all I did too.\u00a0 I watched, in this order:\u00a0 True Grit<\/a>, The China Syndrome<\/a>, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence<\/a>, and\u00a0 The Sons of Katie Elder<\/a>.\u00a0 Wow.\u00a0 After all those were over there wasn’t anything else on so I sat and clicked through the channels all night.\u00a0 I got so bored at one point I actually got dressed to go to the gym, but then I looked outside and saw my car was buried under snow, so I plopped right back on the couch.\u00a0 Crap, I was too lazy to even eat… Now that I think about it my intake for the day was a bowl of cereal and some coffee.\u00a0 Oh well, I don’t think I’m gonna waste away to nothing any day soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Please pardon my tardiness.\u00a0 I have the day off and this wasn’t extremely high on my list of priorities.\u00a0 Looking down my list of accomplishments for the day, it’s apparent that nothing else was either.
