Whew, it was a crisp ride in on the ol’ scooter this morning.\u00a0 Dang near froze my ears off.\u00a0 Hey, nobody said it was easy being green I guess.\u00a0 And, it should pay off this afternoon when it’s 68 degrees and sunny;\u00a0 Perfect scooter weather.\u00a0 Let’s just hope it holds out all week, because I took the day off Thursday to go to the Royals game, and Friday I’ll be up in Kearney for the BBQ contest.<\/p>\n

I think I’ll give that weekend around a C+,\u00a0 and that only due to my generally positive disposition.\u00a0 We started things off strong on Friday at the trusty Brooksider.\u00a0 It was a nice evening to sit out on the deck and hang out, and we maximized the opportunity.\u00a0 After that we went over to Carmens for a late dinner, which was delicious as always.\u00a0 We haven’t been there in a long time, which I think made the food even better.\u00a0 I don’t know why we waited so long between visits, but I imagine it has something to do with my rather frugal dining habits.\u00a0 I estimated the tab roughly equaled three weeks of chicken-finger dinners across the street at the Brooksider, or two weeks of relleno dinners at Jalapenos, or 1.5 years of Cheezit lunches out of the machine at work.\u00a0 Maybe I should have just enjoyed my linguine and not worried about it though.<\/p>\n

Saturday the majority of the day was spent down at Operation Breakthrough<\/a>, where some brainiac on the BBQ team had volunteered our services for the afternoon.\u00a0 I just don’t think I’m cut out for do-gooding, I dunno.\u00a0 I can’t even do any good around my own house, much less go help out some place else.\u00a0 I’ve got two foot high saplings growing out my gutters, my windows that were installed three years ago still haven’t been painted, and the basement leaks like a sieve.\u00a0 Yeah, I think I’ll go spend a day working on somebody elses place.\u00a0 Sigh.\u00a0 Anyway, our designated task was to move a small library from one end of the building to the other.\u00a0 As with any other task, it proved to be a lot harder than it initially appeared, exacerbated by the fact that the air conditioning was broken.\u00a0 The original estimate of three hours ended up turning into six, but for the most part we got the job some in some fashion.\u00a0 There was a bit of confusion on the actual book moving part…\u00a0 Apparently they were in some kind of order before we got ahold of them.\u00a0 “Alphabatized,” I think was the term they used?\u00a0 Whoops.\u00a0 Oh well, there were only 10,000 books, how long could that take to straighten back out?<\/p>\n

Sunday, for the most part, was spent watching football on the TV.\u00a0 That proved to make for a pretty darn boring day though…\u00a0 I might just be done wasting my Sundays in that fashion.\u00a0 My fantasy team has already been decimated by injuries, the Chiefs are pathetic…\u00a0 What’s to watch.\u00a0 Maybe I’ll turn off the TV and paint the windows next week.\u00a0 Or, maybe I’ll just be bored again and then complain about it;\u00a0 Much more likely scenario.\u00a0 Between the afternoon and evening games we did walk Gabe down to Foo’s for a frozen custard break, but that was about the sole accomplishment for the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
