I had a pretty decent weekend:
1. Went over to Burgess on Saturday morning to take over some things left over from when I moved into the "dump" at BFE. I also took over Michael's 4-wheeler that had been in the basement and was not likely to be used again by its owner. Marvin and Janine have a grandson named Keegan and I understand he got some use out of it. Really happy the Blue Streak is bringing joy to a kid again.
2. Saturday afternoon neighbor Tim returned from Iowa with his new Harley so a couple of friends of his and a couple guys I know from BFE went riding. Beautiful day for a ride and we had a great afternoon of riding and stopping here and there for a beer and cigar.
3. I was being real smart with my flooded items. I lined a lot of the paper material along the rail of the back deck to warm up and hopefully be salvaged from the garbage. All weather reports had it clear both Saturday and Sunday so I didn't worry too much. I should have. Evidently Saturday night we got a nice shower which set back my salvage project.
4. Watched some football and kept tabs on my two fantasy football teams. Both won so I am doing well and close to 1st place. I am 2-1 with my "friends" league and 3-0 with the public league.
5. Texted Drew in St. Pete on the Bears. Guess I was properly and successfully insulting because I haven't heard back.
6. Took the convertible to G-Burg for a cruise and then came back on I-74 up to Woodhull.
7. Cleaned house a bit and put the garbage bags out along the street. Garbage truck just left and can't help but think a bit on that precious, memory-laden load they have.
8. Looking forward to the debate on Friday night. Just wondering why they would schedule it on a Friday. People heading out to have fun after the work-week, football games, travel time for some. You would have thought any other day of the week would allow more people to view it. Ah, maybe that's the reason.
9. Becoming used to the idea that perhaps the Mets won't make it again this year. Their bullpen really sucks and without someone stepping up and taking control, we just haven't got what it takes. We are still the wildcard team but with a week to go (and playing the Cubs 4 times) I am not optimistic.
10. Mowed the yard yesterday and saw my first BFE snake. One snake in a summer is damn good. I didn't scream but I did a heeby-jeeby dance to get away from it.

Mom has now watched me and sports 2 days in a row. I find it amusing that she laughs at me when I get super pissed off at the Mets. Oh and believe you me, I do. Then I laugh as I cuss out everything in sight because the Mets keep f-ing blowing it. Then I wonder why you dont get as upset as i do. Then I realize you have watched them F-up a hell of a lot longer than I have and you are used to seeing them BLOW IT IN THE LAST GOD DAMN 2 WEEKS OF THE GOD DAMN SEASON!!!!!
