LAN Party!
This weekend has been great so far… Even with the flat tire on the way to Cookvegas, stupid road debris. I headed over to the metropolis of Cookville on Friday to attend a LAN party which turned out to be very cool. Got to see some folks I don’t get to see much and kill them (virtually, of course). I made it ’til I think almost 3am before passing out with the laptop on my lap, headphones still on. I think it was about 4 when everyone started leaving and I kind of woke up enough to crawl over behind the couch and sleep. Sat I stayed ’till about 3, which was about an hour after everyone started going again. I headed home and attended a wedding reception for some of my neighbors which was very nice. Last night I fell asleep about 8:30 and didn’t wake up until until about 7AM, so I think I’ve made up for crazy Friday night sleep schedule. I can’t wait to sample some more of Ross’s wares, the nut brown had a really good flavor and I’d like to try some more. Now off to church and see what else comes my way today!
Weekend
This weekend was great! Friday I just beat the rain home and sat on the porch and read a book ’till a friend came over to drop off some community information stuff, and dropped off some chocolate chip cookies his wife had made. Well, since it’s a mortal sin to consume this kind of cookie without milk (and I had none), I made a trip to the grocery and loaded up on stuff and picked up some milk. I then enjoyed the porch and milk & cookies and my Friday night radio show. It was a really nice evening. Saturday, I took the dogs to the vet, mowed the yard and cleaned up a lot of the yard stuff… all before noon! After that, I went to Cookeville and hung out with a bunch of cool folks at a wine tasting. The host, one Mr. Kevin O’Mara, did and excellent job of explaining the differences both blatant and subtle in the different wines. It was an extremely enjoyable educational experience! After that, there were bratwursts grilled and folks hanging out on the deck just chillin’. Sunday, I was able to meet some new folks that I’ve heard quite a bit about but never meet in person, which was pretty cool. I now have some faces, voices and personalities to go with the names. Sunday evening I was able to talk to Scott who I haven’t seen in a while, and they are all doing well. I also ordered a mesh motorcycle jacket and pants so I can ride without being quite so paranoid about not having the proper protection, and still not be soaking wet when I get to where I’m going. Hopefully that stuff will be in this week and I’ll post some pictures of it.
