weekend, mostly due to a combination of the weather and being oncall.\u00a0 We snuck in a little fun here and there though.\u00a0 Friday started the weekend with several hours of nothing.\u00a0 I like to ease into the whole oncall routine you know.\u00a0 Donette made a good dinner of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/food\/recipes\/recipe\/0,,FOOD_9936_32069,00.html\" title=\"Dave Leiberman's Kielbasa &amp; Kraut\" target=\"_blank\">kielbasa and kraut<\/a>, and then I retired upstairs to watch the Royals get shut out.\u00a0 That quickly bored me to sleep, and so ended Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday brought a little fun, in the form of the Royals game.\u00a0 We met up with the Martins out at the stadium around 2:00 and enjoyed a nice tailgate with a bunch of their friends.\u00a0 They brought in a bunch of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wabashbbq.com\/\" title=\"Wabash BBQ\" target=\"_blank\">Wabash BBQ<\/a>, which I&#8217;d never tried.\u00a0 (Thumbs up.)\u00a0 The game, if you watched it, was somewhat less than entertaining.\u00a0 The weather was just about as bad as the game too;\u00a0 More like football weather.\u00a0 We stuck around for a while though;\u00a0 Our seats were good and we&#8217;re always up for some people-watching, so that kept us occupied.\u00a0 After the game, well, we went back home and did more nothing.\u00a0 I had to work into the wee hours so I had to save my strength.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday wasn&#8217;t exactly a big wrap-up to the lame weekend, but we stayed busy.\u00a0 I started the day off by fixing my website.\u00a0 Since it wasn&#8217;t broken in the first place, I&#8217;m not sure what got me off on that tangent, but at any rate it&#8217;s broken now.\u00a0 No more message board for pkenagy.com, at least for the time being.\u00a0 I am totally baffled.\u00a0 The OLD one doesn&#8217;t even work any more.\u00a0 Very mysterious.\u00a0 Having thusly wasted my morning, I moved on to installing a new <a href=\"http:\/\/xmradio.com\" title=\"XM Radio\" target=\"_blank\">XM radio<\/a> in my car.\u00a0 I&#8217;d say I&#8217;m pretty much addicted to the XM thing&#8230;\u00a0 This is our fourth radio.\u00a0 (Heaven forbid I take the 30 seconds to move the one in the living room back and forth to the car like most people.)\u00a0 Granted, I&#8217;m only in my car about 20 minutes a day, but that&#8217;s more than enough time for the FM stations around here to put me in a foul mood.\u00a0 That took quite a while, as this time around I actually spent a little time routing the wires right so it would look halfway decent.\u00a0 And, being probably the cheapest available receiver on the market, it presented a few additional installation challenges that baffled me for a good bit of time.\u00a0 So, now we&#8217;ve got 24&#215;7 tunes in both cars, the house, and one receiver that just sits in the closet and collects dust.\u00a0 (Oh, we&#8217;ve got plans for it though.)\u00a0 That project got me through the afternoon, then we went to our routine Sunday evening dinner at Jalapenos to wrap things up.\u00a0 As it happened, I never got called from work over the weekend.\u00a0 As soon as I&#8217;d have gone and tried to have fun I would&#8217;ve though&#8230; What can ya&#8217; do.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in a rare bit of &#8220;bummer&#8221; news from pkenagy.com, I hate to announce that the Kenagy&#8217;s are back to a one dog family.\u00a0 I&#8217;d just as soon leave it on the down-low, but I&#8217;ll mention it in the hopes of keeping somebody from making any ill-advised references or standard issue pitbull jokes;\u00a0 They wouldn&#8217;t go over too well.\u00a0 After a year and a half of working with Belle, we finally decided she just wasn&#8217;t cut out for our house.\u00a0 Despite some very prominent flaws that led to this decision, I&#8217;d still take her company over a good portion of the people that I deal with day to day, so the whole thing pretty much sucks.\u00a0 And that&#8217;s all I got to say about that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man this weather SUCKS!!\u00a0 I am getting truly bent out of shape over it all.\u00a0 I had to scrape frost off my car to drive in this morning, CRAP!\u00a0 Of course I should be on my scooter toughing it out, but since we went back to two cars I tend to take the path of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
