Well I guess the ol’ Uverse issues have reached a standoff.  They sent a guy out Friday night to work on it, and he predictably got nowhere.  The worst part of it all is that I spent a rather significant part of my 3-day weekend working on it.  At least I got to the point where it sorta-kinda-almost works.  Not like I want it to though.  But, at least for the time being, I’m tired of messing with it, so it’ll have to do.

That was a pretty decent weekend, aside from dorking around with my home network.  Things got off to a slow start Friday when I had to sit home and wait for the Uverse guy to come out.  In all fairness, I did tell them “Any day after 3:30.”  It didn’t really occur to me to mention “Except Friday.”  Oh well.  Donette, meanwhile, met some friends up in Cameron Park for dinner.  I find it hard to believe they had any fun without me, but it sounds like they tried.

Saturday sort of escapes me…  I do recall Donette going for a long walk in preparation for an upcoming run she wants to do.  I believe she went like 7 miles, which is about 6 miles longer than I see myself ever walking.  I played the support wagon role, by meeting her at her destination for a tasty lunch.  (In the car.)

Sunday we got adventurous and went for a motorcycle ride to Sutter Creek.  We haven’t gone for a ride on that thing for over a year.  Been thinking about selling it, as a matter of fact.  We had a nice ride though, maybe we just need to get out on it more.  We met up with a bunch of friends for a quick lunch, and then sort of walked the town a bit.  It’s a nice little Parkville-esque kind of place.  Luckily we didn’t have to worry about buying anything since we couldn’t have carried it on the bike anyway.  (OK, I bought a pair of shoes and sent them home with our friends.)

On our holiday Monday, I broke out my long unused brewing equipment.  Much like the motorcycle, that hobby is a lot funner if you actually do it.  Sort of relaxing.  It went smoothly, although it took a lot longer than anticipated.  It sort of escapes me how I managed to turn a one-hour project into four hours, but I sure did.  Too much watching baseball and not enough brewing I guess.  I wan’t particularly in a hurry though, so I guess it’s as good a way to waste an afternoon as any.  Hopefully the end product comes out well, I need to get back into that hobby.

Well that’s a rather weak update, but I ain’t feeling it.  I’m genuinely distressed about my Uverse issues.  At this point I’m reduced to just waiting for it to fix itself, which in all likelihood isn’t going to happen…
