That was a rather lame weekend.\u00a0 Or maybe just too quick.\u00a0 I’m not ready for another week, that’s for sure.\u00a0 Friday we sort of took it easy;\u00a0 I’ll blame the heat.\u00a0 Rolled down to the Brooksider to say hi to everybody, then down to Jalapenos for some dinner.\u00a0 Dinner was good though.\u00a0 We finally remembered to get there for “chicken verde burrito” night, my favorite.\u00a0 After dinner we went home and Donette insisted we have “movie night.”\u00a0 Despite my reluctance, she turned on “Julia & Julia.”\u00a0 I fell asleep twenty minutes into it so I’m not sure how it turned out;\u00a0 I do remember I didn’t like the little bit I saw.<\/p>\n

Saturday was a little slow getting started.\u00a0 As far as I can remember, we wasted the entire morning.\u00a0 Later in the afternoon, Donette headed off to the pool and I stayed home and “helped” our friend Tom work on our plumbing.\u00a0 I was on my own for evening entertainment, as Donette was down at the boats gambling away our retirement plan.\u00a0 I elected to hit the Brooksider for an hour or so, then bought some chicken and went home to grill up some dinner.\u00a0 I went with a “Phil” style of menu, which I don’t get when the wife is home.\u00a0 My dinner consisted of 3 grilled chicken thighs.\u00a0 Sides just dirty up more dishes, I have no use for them.\u00a0 After that delicious meal, I retired to the couch to watch the Royals, somehow managing to even watch the entire game.<\/p>\n

Sunday I got up and left the house at the unholy hour of 5:30 to go pick up Munkirs for a bike ride.\u00a0 We were heading out to Louisburg Kansas for the Cider Mill Century<\/a> ride.\u00a0 Our plan was to ride the 50 mile route;\u00a0 Optimistic but workable.\u00a0 The first 1\/2 was all good, easy even.\u00a0 We managed a solid 17 mph average speed, which is pretty zippy for us.\u00a0 Things got dicey after the second rest stop.\u00a0 The trouble started when Munkirs decided to use a real pump to air up his tires.\u00a0 (As opposed to the little portable thing he usually uses.)\u00a0 He got 140 lbs. of pressure in his tires and I never saw him again for the rest of the ride.\u00a0 Just couldn’t keep up.\u00a0 I seriously think the guy has been riding on flat tires all summer.\u00a0 I finished the whole 50 miles though.\u00a0 Unfortunately I was “done” at about 40 miles, I’m not entirely sure how I finished the last ten.\u00a0 After a pleasant first half, the second half was ridiculously hilly.\u00a0 The last ten or fifteen miles were just plain disheartening.\u00a0 You’d turn a corner and there would be a huge hill in front of you.\u00a0 Struggle to the top of one hill, and see another right there.\u00a0 It got old, and of course by that time it was hot and brutally humid.\u00a0 We made it back though, if only because that’s where the car was and we had no other choice.\u00a0 They served lunch after the ride, but we took a pass on that;\u00a0 I just wanted out of the sun at that point.\u00a0 After that bit of exercise, I didn’t do much the rest of the day.\u00a0 Come to think of it, I didn’t do a darn thing.\u00a0 Watched the Royals on TV and…\u00a0 Yep that was about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
