Man this weather SUCKS!!  I am getting truly bent out of shape over it all.  I had to scrape frost off my car to drive in this morning, CRAP!  Of course I should be on my scooter toughing it out, but since we went back to two cars I tend to take the path of comfort and convenience.

That was a “down” weekend, mostly due to a combination of the weather and being oncall.  We snuck in a little fun here and there though.  Friday started the weekend with several hours of nothing.  I like to ease into the whole oncall routine you know.  Donette made a good dinner of kielbasa and kraut, and then I retired upstairs to watch the Royals get shut out.  That quickly bored me to sleep, and so ended Friday.

Saturday brought a little fun, in the form of the Royals game.  We met up with the Martins out at the stadium around 2:00 and enjoyed a nice tailgate with a bunch of their friends.  They brought in a bunch of Wabash BBQ, which I’d never tried.  (Thumbs up.)  The game, if you watched it, was somewhat less than entertaining.  The weather was just about as bad as the game too;  More like football weather.  We stuck around for a while though;  Our seats were good and we’re always up for some people-watching, so that kept us occupied.  After the game, well, we went back home and did more nothing.  I had to work into the wee hours so I had to save my strength.

Sunday wasn’t exactly a big wrap-up to the lame weekend, but we stayed busy.  I started the day off by fixing my website.  Since it wasn’t broken in the first place, I’m not sure what got me off on that tangent, but at any rate it’s broken now.  No more message board for pkenagy.com, at least for the time being.  I am totally baffled.  The OLD one doesn’t even work any more.  Very mysterious.  Having thusly wasted my morning, I moved on to installing a new XM radio in my car.  I’d say I’m pretty much addicted to the XM thing…  This is our fourth radio.  (Heaven forbid I take the 30 seconds to move the one in the living room back and forth to the car like most people.)  Granted, I’m only in my car about 20 minutes a day, but that’s more than enough time for the FM stations around here to put me in a foul mood.  That took quite a while, as this time around I actually spent a little time routing the wires right so it would look halfway decent.  And, being probably the cheapest available receiver on the market, it presented a few additional installation challenges that baffled me for a good bit of time.  So, now we’ve got 24×7 tunes in both cars, the house, and one receiver that just sits in the closet and collects dust.  (Oh, we’ve got plans for it though.)  That project got me through the afternoon, then we went to our routine Sunday evening dinner at Jalapenos to wrap things up.  As it happened, I never got called from work over the weekend.  As soon as I’d have gone and tried to have fun I would’ve though… What can ya’ do.

Finally, in a rare bit of “bummer” news from pkenagy.com, I hate to announce that the Kenagy’s are back to a one dog family.  I’d just as soon leave it on the down-low, but I’ll mention it in the hopes of keeping somebody from making any ill-advised references or standard issue pitbull jokes;  They wouldn’t go over too well.  After a year and a half of working with Belle, we finally decided she just wasn’t cut out for our house.  Despite some very prominent flaws that led to this decision, I’d still take her company over a good portion of the people that I deal with day to day, so the whole thing pretty much sucks.  And that’s all I got to say about that.
