Another Float Trip come and gone;\u00a0 Except it didn’t really come this year.\u00a0 The weather was actually looking pretty good considering the date, and we were excited about the water conditions.\u00a0 Given that the water was 25+ feet above normal, it promised to be a nice challenging float.\u00a0 There would certainly be no dragging on low spots, and we figured the normally 6 hour long float should take around 45 minutes this year;\u00a0 All good stuff!\u00a0 Fortunately, as we made our last-minute schedule tweaks before leaving on Wednesday, Munkirs thought to call down and check on the camping conditions, and was told the entire campground was under water.\u00a0 DOH!\u00a0 In short, several phone calls later, we ended up at our friend Bill’s lake house down at the Ozarks.\u00a0 The accommodations and amenities were certainly top-notch, but it weren’t no Float Trip.\u00a0 What can ya’ do.\u00a0 All things considered, it was a nice alternative though;\u00a0 More comfortable if nothing else.\u00a0 We stayed there until Saturday morning, then called it a trip and headed back to KC.\u00a0 Having a little unplanned down time on my hands for the weekend, I even got a few pictures<\/a> up already.<\/p>\n

Saturday, after a nice lunch at Jalapenos and a short nap to recover from the rigors of the pseudo-float,\u00a0 I got right back on my usual schedule of sitting around watching TV.\u00a0 Woo Hoo.\u00a0 We did get a nice little entertainment interlude when the neighbor girls called and said they were down at the Brooksider watching the KU game.\u00a0 They were probably bluffing and just being nice, but we figured what the heck and went down and joined them for a while.\u00a0 Aside from the decidedly rough nature of the KU crowd, we had a good time, and even stayed out well past our usual curfew.<\/p>\n

Sunday we did the standard Easter celebration;\u00a0 At least “standard” as far as my definition.\u00a0 We drove out to Mom’s and had a delicious ham dinner, with corn, asparagus, potatoes, and all that good stuff.\u00a0 After dinner I drove back home to start my bachelor week;\u00a0 Donette is headed to Houston with my Mom to take a little Spring Break.\u00a0 So, it’s just me and the myriad pets this week…\u00a0 Somebody come entertain me.\u00a0 That’s all I got.\u00a0 I’m tired.\u00a0 I think the pups were a bit out of sorts over Donette’s absence last night;\u00a0 Crazy mutts paced all night long and kept me up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
