Sort of a moderately lame weekend.\u00a0 Friday we made a somewhat unplanned appearance at Happy Hour down at the Brooksider.\u00a0 Cheap entertainment I suppose.\u00a0 We hung out on the back deck for quite a while, enjoying the somewhat temperate weather and the beginning of the weekend in general.\u00a0 When we tired of our loitering, we moved up the street for a little dinner at Cantina del Rey.\u00a0 Man, I like that place.\u00a0 It’s been a little over-crowded as of late, but Friday night we walked right in and got a table.\u00a0 I went with my favorite, the carne asada.\u00a0 Probably about time to branch out a bit before I get tired of it, but don’t want to get too risky.<\/p>\n
Saturday we spent the afternoon doing a whole lot of nothing.\u00a0 I got wrapped up in a stupid time-killer computer game, and Donette stared at the TV in a similarly time-wasting fashion.\u00a0 I guess we were saving our strength;\u00a0 We had signed up to work at the second annual Wine & Beer Brew Ha Ha<\/a> down at the American Royal building.\u00a0 We worked at it last year<\/a> and had fun, so we figured what the heck, try it again.\u00a0 We headed down there around 3:00, and indeed it turned out to be a great time again.\u00a0 We actually did work pretty hard though;\u00a0 I think harder than last year.\u00a0 We sorta hung out behind the scenes and kept all the vendors fixed up with ice and fresh water, cleaned up messes, and that sorta stuff.\u00a0 Most people like to stand out front and pour, but that’s wayyyy too much interaction.\u00a0 The event ended at 9:00, and after that we hung out with the other hard-working volunteers for a while…\u00a0 Kinda a “post-party.”\u00a0 I got the feeling the event overall was a big success for the Royal;\u00a0 Maybe they’ll lower our freaking booth price for the BBQ.\u00a0 (Yeah right.)<\/p>\n Sunday we were a bit slow getting around.\u00a0 I had planned to go out to the shooting range, but since it was storming pretty bad I figured that was off.\u00a0 I checked in with my partner in crime for the “alternate entertainment options” around noon though, and he said all was dry out that way, so we were a go for shootin’.\u00a0 That killed three hours or so.\u00a0 I ran through a bunch of ammo;\u00a0 Guess it’s time to start loitering at the Walmarts again.\u00a0 After fine-tuning our quick-draw technique for a bit, we ended up back at the Brooksider to meet up with the girls.\u00a0 Didn’t stay long though, ’cause I was hungry.\u00a0 Luckily I scored my first homegrown tomatoes of the season while I was at the ‘Sider, so I sliced those up for a fancy tomato-cheese-herb-oil salad.\u00a0 Yum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sort of a moderately lame weekend.\u00a0 Friday we made a somewhat unplanned appearance at Happy Hour down at the Brooksider.\u00a0 Cheap entertainment I suppose.\u00a0 We hung out on the back deck for quite a while, enjoying the somewhat temperate weather and the beginning of the weekend in general.\u00a0 When we tired of our loitering, we […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
