Ahhh, another Monday.\u00a0 The thrill of another exciting week staring me in the face.\u00a0 Mmmm-hmmmm.\u00a0 And it’s raining to boot.\u00a0 Nothing better to start a week off right than a morning with the bus-crazies.\u00a0 Guess it was about time for a little precipitation;\u00a0 At least I got my grass seed down yesterday.\u00a0 As for the weekend?\u00a0 Ehhh.\u00a0 Friday passed without incident.\u00a0 I did have a pretty good lunch that day I guess.\u00a0 Mostly out of boredom, I wandered down to Winslows in the City Market.\u00a0 I hadn’t been there for a long time, if ever.\u00a0 Seems like I was there once many moon ago.\u00a0 At any rate, I was out enjoying the weather and decided to stop in for lunch on their patio.\u00a0 Granted, I was starving, but I thought it was pretty good.\u00a0 I had the rib plate with fries and slaw.\u00a0 Way too much food, but I guess that’s BBQ in KC.\u00a0 The ribs were good;\u00a0 Very smoky (which I like) and I liked the rub on them.\u00a0 The downside was they were off the long end (to be expected for the lunch special I suppose) and they weren’t trimmed.\u00a0 Pet peeve I think;\u00a0 It’s not like anybody is going to eat all that nasty gristly stuff, cut it off for pete’s sake.\u00a0 I’ll probably go back in a few weeks and try a sandwich and see how that goes.\u00a0 When I got home Donette was up the street at Cantina del Ray with Susan, doing a little light happy-hour-slash-dinner.\u00a0 When she got home she dug some homemade tamales out of the freezer and heated them up, and then made a good green chile sauce<\/a> to go with them.\u00a0 We’ll have to save the green chile recipe, it was a keeper.\u00a0 After that we split up to our respective TV’s.\u00a0 Not sure what she watched but I fired up some good horror movies.\u00a0 Halloween is just around the corner you know.<\/p>\n

Saturday we did a little light work outside.\u00a0 The front yard went south on us towards the end of the summer…\u00a0 I think it burned up while we were out of town.\u00a0 Forgot to leave the sprinklers on, whoops.\u00a0 I raked a few tons of thatch out of it and then threw some seed on it.\u00a0 Not that it will grow this late in the year, but I can say I tried.\u00a0 After that we headed over to our friends Troy & Laura’s house for a cookout.\u00a0 Eight-seven stoplights and an hour later we were in Lenexa, right on time to catch the burgers coming off the grill.\u00a0 We hung out there for the rest of the night, with half an eye on the MU game and the other half on some s’mores.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning I got up relatively early and headed down to Brookside for a group bicycle ride.\u00a0 First time I’d gotten back on the bike since the MS-150 a few weeks ago.\u00a0 I’d never been on the Sunday morning ride and given the perfect weather it seemed as good a plan as any.\u00a0 Munkirs met me down there and we headed out on a very… err…\u00a0 “leisurely” 16 mile ride.\u00a0 Geez they took the “no rider left behind” philosophy to a whole new level.\u00a0 I guess it’s just supposed to be a Sunday morning stroll and it definitely fit that category.\u00a0 When we (finally) arrived down at the City Market everybody headed to Happy Gillis<\/a> for breakfast.\u00a0 Munkirs & I decided it was time to get the day started so we skipped breakfast and headed back towards Brookside.\u00a0 Suffice to say we made better time on the return trip.\u00a0 Hey, it was a great morning outside though, overall it was an enjoyable ride and I wasn’t looking to break any land-speed records anyway.\u00a0 I was mostly just interested in the route they took to get downtown, and it turned out to be a rather serviceable route indeed.\u00a0 After the ride I headed down to the Brooksider to sit outside on the patio and watch the Chiefs game.\u00a0 It was predictably packed, and rather festive, even after the disappointing outcome.\u00a0 I stayed through that game, and part of the late afternoon game, then headed back home.\u00a0 Donette fixed some great stuffed pork chops for dinner, then I finished out the weekend with a good round of Wii games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
