Ahhh, another 3-day weekend. I just don’t think I’m really cut out for a 5-day work week. Four is more than enough. I had Friday off courtesy of my oncall week. It was earned too, geez. Oncall is a young man’s game, I tell you. Once again, I’m having a little trouble recalling exactly what we did that far back. Maybe I need to start taking notes or something. I took the motorcycle up the street to get re-inspected. My tags are expired, as Officer Friendly reminded me on the way home a few weeks ago. He also reminded me that there is a speed limit on Main Street, and it is not mach II, a fact I was previously unaware of. After that we went and hung out at the pool for several hours until the heat drove us out. Wow, it was hot. Still June and the pool water is hot already. Dang global warming. After that details are kind of sketchy. Donette went to the baseball game with our friend Katie. As for me, well I did something remarkably fun and exciting, I just can’t remember what. I think I sat on the couch and watched TV.
Saturday didn’t develop quite as planned. I had intended to waste my day on the back porch smoking a brisket. I goofed around all morning and finally threw it on around 10:30. About that time, Donette reminded me we had a wedding to go to at 4:30. Dang it! This left me in brisket limbo; Too late to take it off and save it for another time, and not enough time to get it cooked. I ended up cooking it for 6 hours and then foiling it up and leaving it on the smoker. Don’t know if it got done or not, haven’t even sliced it yet. It was a failed experiment at any rate; My goal was to cook it without using any foil but that didn’t work out. What can ya’ do. The wedding was fun though, as weddings go. Man it was hot though, whew. One of the groomsmen fell out, providing a little excitement. Actually he didn’t go all the way down, he sort of crumpled then made a nice recovery and ducked out stage left. We stuck around for a few hours of the reception and then bailed out to tend to the smoker.
Sunday I was supposed to go cycling with Munkirs but called rain-out. We may have been able to ride anyway, but it looked pretty dicey out. I ended up opting for the gym instead. I wasted a few hours there, then made a PC house-call, then it was off to the ‘Sider to watch the ball game. Donette got to go to the game again, but I had to make do with the TV. They had the sound on for once too, bonus. I watched the whole game down there, then Donette & Kelly showed up and we went to get some dinner at Jalepenos. Ate a tasty relleno, then we all headed back to the house for some Rock Band; Fine way to round out the weekend.
