Yeah I’m slacking, missed another week.  Hey if Ed can go a full month without updates I figure I’m good for a miss here and there too.  We were out of town as it happens, in wonderful Cabo San Lucas.  I don’t really need a reason to go sit in the sun for a weekend, but as it happened we were celebrating my co-worker Josh’s milestone 40th birthday.  Ah to be young.  Good times, but man was it HOT.  Brutal, sweltering, punishing heat.  As soon as I stepped out of the room I’d just start pouring sweat.  Not used to that nasty humidity stuff I guess.  Despite that, we managed to have a great time.  The group as a whole was a bit more “active” than we’re used to, but I guess we got to see lots of stuff that way.  Geez, anybody just want to go lay in the pool?!?!  Some of the group even went to the onsite gym.  Every day.  Come on, that’s just embarrassing.  I’ll be at the buffet if you need me.

Out of like 500 pictures taken in Mexico, I filtered out around half a dozen that are suitable for posting.  The rest will stay safely stored on disc until somebody tries to run for public office I guess.  Other than that, I’ll just jump ahead to this past weekend, boring though it was.  Friday we did…  NOTHING.  We followed that up with a big ol’ day of nothing on Saturday.  We at least thought about doing something, but it didn’t pan out.  I had a lot of work Saturday night and decided to lay low.  Sunday, though, I enjoyed my day.  I got up at the crack of dawn (actually it was pre-dawn now that I think about it,) fired up the smoker and threw on a corned beef I found in the freezer, and a pork butt.  The weather forecast looked pretty good and that just sounded like a good way to spend the afternoon. After everything was all settled in and cooking, we took off on a rather taxing (for me anyway) six mile walk.  That is about 5.5 miles past my limit I think.  My ol’ bones are breaking down.  I’m actually sore today.  Anyway, after that I knocked out a few random chores around the house, (hanging curtains and washing the patio,) then kicked back on the patio and enjoyed the day.  Lots of good sports on the tv, meat on the smoker…  My idea of a good Sunday.  We didn’t even try the beef, but the pork came out quite tasty, if I do say so my darn self.
