Things have been quite busy out west, and not in the “fun” sense.\u00a0 I need to squeeze out ten minutes to update this every week though.\u00a0 Priorities, blah blah.\u00a0 We’ve had a decent run of activities too.\u00a0 A few concerts, a few cookouts, and a few trips.\u00a0 This last weekend was all in my “two mile circle” though.\u00a0 Friday we ventured up to Slingshots to play a few games of pool.\u00a0 I should probably add that place to our regular list of entertainment.\u00a0 It covers all my criteria nicely:\u00a0 Cheap, entertaining, and cheap.\u00a0 The rooster walking around the place doesn’t hurt either.<\/p>\n
Saturday we took the pups to the dog park for some exercise.\u00a0 They seemed to enjoy it, and it was a nice day for us to be outside too.\u00a0 Afterwards we all went to the Saloon for lunch on their patio.\u00a0 We picked that spot because the pups can go there, and they even have a dog menu for them.\u00a0 They enjoyed their plates of scrambled eggs and chicken.\u00a0 Matter of fact, it looked better than my sandwich, I was slightly jealous.\u00a0 Later in the day we took them home and went to a fund raiser at the dog rescue up in Shingle Springs.\u00a0 I guess the idea was to bring your dogs to the event, but they were worn out, and it was far too hot for them to be walking around the parking lot.\u00a0 Matter of fact, it was too hot for me to be walking around a parking lot, but we stuck around for quite a while.\u00a0 They had all kinds of junk for sale, (yes we ended up with some of it…) and a decent blues band to entertain everybody.\u00a0 Felt a little bad for the band, it was easily 100 degrees out, but they held up well.<\/p>\n
Sunday the usual suspects went out wine tasting at some of the nearby favorites.\u00a0 I opted out though.\u00a0 I enjoyed a peaceful afternoon on the patio with the dogs, listening to some tunes and smoking some pork.\u00a0 Not a bad day to waste a Sunday.\u00a0 Everybody came over for dinner, and that wrapped up the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
