Wow is it Monday already?\u00a0 My sense of time is all messed up again.\u00a0 I think I need (another) week off.\u00a0 Most of last weekend was spent at a BBQ competition up in Platte City.\u00a0 Team TFB was competing in our first contest of the year.\u00a0 I headed up there Friday after work to find Martin & Brown well into the set-up phase of things.\u00a0 We actually had a pretty good turnout for the event;\u00a0 Quite a bit bigger than I expected, especially given the weather.\u00a0 It was a long, chilly night out in the lawn chair tending the fire.\u00a0 At least Brice kept me company this time;\u00a0 It actually was only moderately miserable.\u00a0 And how did we do?\u00a0 Well…\u00a0 Team TFB really doesn’t enter for the whole competitive cooking aspect of the thing.\u00a0 We enjoy the party, getting outside, some great guitar music with sing-alongs by the fire, and just the general camaraderie of being with some friends you might not have seen for a while.\u00a0 That little spiel should give you a pretty good idea of how we did.\u00a0 I didn’t come away totally empty handed though;\u00a0 I left late Saturday afternoon in a sleepless fog with a cooler full of tasty leftovers and a nice sunburn.\u00a0 Oh, and a heart full of camaraderie.<\/p>\n
Sunday, of course, was Mother’s Day.\u00a0 Hopefully that revelation isn’t an “oh crap” moment for you.\u00a0 We met Donette’s parents down at good ol’ Sharps for a nice breakfast.\u00a0 We got there at 9:00 and got a table immediately, which I thought rather remarkable.\u00a0 Such was not the case by the time we left;\u00a0 There was the usual mob scene at the front door waiting for seats.\u00a0 After breakfast we headed back to the house, digested for a few minutes, and then I headed out to my Mom’s for some lunch.\u00a0 Two huge meals in 3 hours…\u00a0 Not a good idea.\u00a0 Oh I managed though.\u00a0 We grilled some burgers with all the sides, then topped it off with a Cold Stone ice cream cake.\u00a0 A feat of gluttony not seen since…\u00a0 Well, I guess since Friday night at the BBQ competition.\u00a0 Gee I just don’t understand why I can’t lose a little weight.\u00a0 After lunch I raced home in time to get the lawn mowed before the weekly monsoon started in.\u00a0 I am so sick of mowing the lawn that I’m at a bit of a loss.\u00a0 The fact that it’s only May makes it even worse.\u00a0 Gonna be a long season I’m afraid.\u00a0 I got it knocked down though, and then decided to reward myself with a little hot-tub time up at the gym.\u00a0 As my usual luck would have it, the hot-tub was closed for maintenance.\u00a0 Figures.\u00a0 Since I’d gone to the trouble of driving up there, I sat around and watched the Royals game for a while, then called it a loss and headed back home.\u00a0 Whippee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
