Whew, busy weekend. \u00a0Once again I totally failed in my note-taking strategy, so I don’t really remember specifically what we did, but it seems we were very busy. \u00a0I recall Friday night I tried to drum up a little support for a group happy hour, but got no takers. \u00a0We ended up on our back patio, which wasn’t a bad option at all. \u00a0Fired up the propane heater and had a nice evening of it. \u00a0When the temp started getting a little uncomfortably chilly we moved inside for “movie night.” \u00a0I’d been wanting to re-watch “From Dusk Till Dawn<\/a>,” so we fired that up. \u00a0I think I actually made it through the first 30 minutes or so before falling asleep.<\/p>\n

Saturday we got up medium-early and started on our project to hang our living room TV on the wall. \u00a0That was to be one of the things we were going to hire out, but due to certain, ummm, budgetary constraints we decided to tackle it ourselves. \u00a0It wasn’t that hard I suppose, although very time consuming. \u00a0It ended up taking me the better part of the day actually. \u00a0I was happy with the results, and as of this writing it is still attached to the wall, so I declare it a success. \u00a0I had grand plans of going mountain biking in the afternoon, but there wasn’t enough sunlight left in the day by the time I finished the TV project. \u00a0Sigh. \u00a0Can’t wait for the longer days to get here.<\/p>\n

Sunday we got all social and went to the neighborhood “Valentine’s 5K.” \u00a0It was just sort of a fun-run. \u00a0Matter of fact, we walked most of it. \u00a0Boy it wore me out a lot more than it probably should have though. \u00a0I really need to start up some form of exercise. \u00a0After that short burst of activity, we did a little bit of work in the back yard. \u00a0Cleaned out the garden, and planted three grape vines. \u00a0We have a trellis along the back fence, which was originally intended for hop vines. \u00a0Every time those would start growing, Teagan would blunder through them and snap them off at the ground though. \u00a0Hopefully the grapes will be a little hardier. \u00a0For our big Valentines dinner, we grilled up steak and lobster. \u00a0That’s become our annual dinner for some reason. \u00a0Well, I guess the main reason is, it’s dang tasty. \u00a0Doni got to pick the after-dinner movie that night. \u00a0I don’t remember what it was called, and I don’t guess it really matters because I was asleep before it even started.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
