Whoa it’s toasty out there.\u00a0 Downright nasty.\u00a0 Oh well, I guess in all fairness it is summer in KC. We had a good weekend despite the weather though, and despite not sticking to our “weekend plan” at all. \u00a0 Maybe we shouldn’t even try planning, because whatever we put on a list just never works out.\u00a0 Friday I don’t recall that we did much of anything;\u00a0 We hit social hour\u00a0 at the Brooksider, then went home and played Wii games for quite a while.\u00a0 Boring entertainment, but cheap and wholesome.\u00a0 (My new motto.)\u00a0 After that we popped in “The Dark Knight” and I promptly fell asleep as usual.<\/p>\n
Saturday Donette went out with “the girls” and I had a big motorcycle ride planned.\u00a0 I got my ride all washed up, fueled up, and ready to go.\u00a0 My buddy Troy showed up on his bike just about the time the rain started.\u00a0 We stood around and ciphered on this unfortunate situation for a while, trying to guess what it was going to do.\u00a0 After a while it was clear the rain wasn’t going anywhere so we called no joy on the ride.\u00a0 Bummer;\u00a0 We’d been trying to get something coordinated for over a year and that was the first Saturday we finally got sync’d up.\u00a0 But, riding in the rain ain’t a whole lot of fun, so I guess we’ll just have to try again another day.\u00a0 So, given the rainout, I slogged down to the Brooksider and spent the rest of my afternoon there, mostly out of sheer boredom.<\/p>\n
Sunday, according to our weekend itinerary, I was to spend the afternoon smoking a brisket.\u00a0 Well, as it happened, I just didn’t really feel like it.\u00a0 I had finally gotten around to picking up a new handgun last week, (a Ruger SR9<\/a> for the very few readers who might actually care,) and I was anxious to try it out.\u00a0 So, I called up my friend Mark and we headed out to Parma Woods<\/a> for some shootin’.\u00a0 Yeah, it was a little warm out, but it was a lot of fun.\u00a0 It must have been fun, because we were there over three hours.\u00a0 After that entertainment, we once again headed to the Brooksider for a little a\/c.\u00a0 (Apparently my unofficial hiatus on the Brooksider is over;\u00a0 Geez I went there more last weekend than the last two months total.)\u00a0 We hung out there for a while, then our neighbor Brooke showed up feeling hungry so we walked down to Jalapenos for dinner.\u00a0 After stuffing myself on some enchiladas I went home and curled up on the couch for a movie.\u00a0 Donette recommended “Iron Man<\/a>,” which her and Susan had watched the night before.\u00a0 Indeed, it was a good flick;\u00a0 I even stayed awake all the way through it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whoa it’s toasty out there.\u00a0 Downright nasty.\u00a0 Oh well, I guess in all fairness it is summer in KC.
