Provisions and entertainment are at an all time low. Please send corn chips and dvd’s. Nothing that is available on Netflix though please, I been through their entire catalogue three times. I’m a big fan of the Ip Man series, but even I can only tolerate so many viewings.

Eh, I guess the situation isn’t all that dire, but I am a bit bored. I got so bored last week I even went camping in the back yard, like a little kid. Had a pretty fun time of it too, except for Quinn’s incessant barking. Hard to nap in my comfy hammock with that little yapper carrying on. As to other entertainment, it was precious slim. Speaking of the Quinn, he just doesn’t care to be left alone if at all possible. Six years old and still tears stuff up when we leave, tsk. The only time I can think that I really left the house was my weekend trip up to the BBQ restaurant, and I took them with me. I had the ribs finally, and they were predictably fantastic. Stuck with mac n’ cheese for my side dish. I need to try their beans, but something tells me that will be the weak spot on the menu, so no hurry. And… That’s just about it for the weekend. Shot about 1,457 games of pool, killed some paper targets with the pellet gun, mowed and ran the weedeater some. Not terribly exciting. Oh, I grilled some passable chicken for Fathers Day. It came out pretty darn crispy and tasty, I was moderately pleased. I had plans for a pot of beans too, but lost my energy at the last minute. Chicken with a side of chicken. I’d share the technique but now I can’t find it again. Basically dry brined it overnight, then grilled skin up on the cooler side of the Weber Kettle. It was good enough to kick up my interest in the quest for crispy grilled chicken anyway; Maybe I’ll try the mayo thing next.
