\u00a0I guess I could have timed that a little better, but I got caught up in the excitement of the moment and didn&#8217;t even think about it. \u00a0Three years after nearly getting Google Fiber in KC, gigabit service has come to my neighborhood here finally. \u00a0It&#8217;s been here for a while actually, but the price has been a bit exorbitant. \u00a0They finally came down to the point where it&#8217;s nearly the same price as my 18 meg service, so I made the jump. \u00a0I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s a load of hidden fees they&#8217;ll dump on me or some mysterious thing. \u00a0It&#8217;s been proven on numerous occasions that AT&amp;T actually has a personal vendetta against me, yet I keep giving them more and more money every month. \u00a0Shame on me I guess.<\/p>\n<p>Not a bad weekend I suppose. \u00a0The rain is <strong>really<\/strong> getting old. \u00a0I think it&#8217;s moved past old and well into maddening. \u00a0There&#8217;s just not a whole lot to when it&#8217;s pouring outside but spend money, or so it seems. \u00a0So along those lines, we went out wine tasting once again. \u00a0Honestly I just don&#8217;t get tired of doing the wineries. \u00a0They&#8217;re fun, at least for me. \u00a0And if you keep the purchases to a minimum, it&#8217;s a relatively cheap way to spend a rainy day too. \u00a0Therein lies the problem I guess. \u00a0We usually feel obligated to pick up a few bottles in return for the tastings. \u00a0Next thing you know we have a closet full of wine that we rarely drink. \u00a0(And I mean &#8220;full&#8221; in the most literal sense. \u00a0It&#8217;s full.) \u00a0So be it I guess. \u00a0After a few wineries, the group went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.smithflathouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Smith Flat House<\/a> for dinner. \u00a0That&#8217;s definitely one of my favorites out here, I don&#8217;t pass up many chances to go there. \u00a0I had lamb shanks Saturday and they were delicious. \u00a0Can&#8217;t say I&#8217;ve ever had anything bad there.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 25%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-3074 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/going-dark\/cheese-plate-2\/#main'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"112\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cheese-plate-112x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cheese-plate-112x150.jpg 112w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cheese-plate-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cheese-plate-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/cheese-plate.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 112px) 100vw, 112px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3075'>\n\t\t\t\tA nice cheese tray we enjoyed while on the wine trail\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/going-dark\/carrot-cake\/#main'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"112\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/carrot-cake-112x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/carrot-cake-112x150.jpg 112w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/carrot-cake-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/carrot-cake-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/carrot-cake.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 112px) 100vw, 112px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3076'>\n\t\t\t\tcarrot cake for dessert on Valentine&#8217;s day.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/going-dark\/valentines\/#main'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"112\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/valentines-112x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/valentines-112x150.jpg 112w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/valentines-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/valentines-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/valentines.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 112px) 100vw, 112px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3077'>\n\t\t\t\ttasty Valentines Day dinner.
