Weekend Shenanigans 6/3 – 6/4 – 2016

Catching the fish!

FRIDAY HELL YA! who doesn’t love a Friday!!!

After work, I left a little early and went and changed the starter in my Nissan, Mer went and got her hair done with the fabulous dresser Marc then we went to Menard’s and did some shopping for supplies. Merideth is going to make a planter to match her bench she made.

Stopped by moms house and got my birthday present. A set of Bluetooth head phones!

We also bought some chairs for our friends to put on their pattio at there new town home. The tables were pretty expensive so we decided we were going to give them our old round plastic table. when we got home and started to clean it up we thought it was a little to messed up to hand over, so we went to Walmart to get a new one… but NOOOOOOO they didn’t have any. so we bought them a set with 4 chairs a table and umbrella. took it over to there house, they were pretty happy kids.

We had my wife’s sister and family over on Friday night they brought over some wicked good Vodka and made a couple of bloody marries and hung out on the deck, good family time and conversation. there daughter Zoe spent the night with us.

 

SATURDAY Ya!!!

Eggs Benedict!Luxury DinnerWoke up early on Saturday and hooked up my new headphones. sat on the deck and jammed out to some Queensryche, slayer and Testament. Mer woke up a little later and asked if I wanted to go Garage saleing. Hell ya i like to see other peoples used crap! After getting s local news paper we decided we needed breakfast. so we headed down to the Luxury Dinner. this place was pretty cool. It is made inside of an old railroad car and is just plain old school! At the garage sails we picked up some 2X4s and a awesome old table. Mer is going to re finish it and put it in our furniture collection.

Then we had to take the Theo Weo to the vet to get his shots, that didnt take as long as it usually does thank goodness but about an hour non the less

Got home after that and Mer started prepping for dinner, marinating some chicken breasts in an orange sauce.

Then we headed to Ashley Furniture and got the kids a couple of new beds….2 and 1/2 hours later we headed home. We layed down for a little while then Mer decided she needed to go work out. and I took a little nap while she did that. George stopped by and woke me up using my saw in the garage so I started working on her jewelry cabinet, making a mess of the already destroyed garage.

Mer needed to go the store to get some supplies for dinner, Rob and Mel came over to pick up Zoe. They said they were going to hang out at our house like they were on vacation and staying in a hotel ( sleeping at home). While Mer was at the store, I continued to work on the cabinet.

Mer came home and said she forgot a few things and “Told me” I was going to King Soopers and the beer store with her.. Beer store cant be all that bad right? well this was apparently a distraction. We went and shopped then came home after stopping by my parents house to get some bitters. When I got home, Mer told me i needed to light the grill to get ready for dinner. I poured a drink and stepped outside, it was bright, went back in to get my sunglasses.

The New Grill!Out on my patio are Mer’s sister and family, Zach George and Coleton…. and a new Grill! Surprise!!!! They got me a new grill scrapping brush and hamburger stuffer. OK now my day is complete! I have been wanting a new grill for a long time, my old one is so wasted. if you cook anything on it it burns on the outside and raw on the inside. This one has both gas a charcoal, it heat adjustable and I can put smoker chips in it!!! also has side burner for heating up sauces. Let the party begin!!!!

Old FashionedI cooked Burger and steak (apparently the chicken was a distraction as well). we had a good dinner and we had a good party. after dinner George crashed out on the couch and was done for the night. Merideth and Melodie made me an Old Fashioned (my favorite drink) we sat on the deck and partied listening to music by the deck fire, what an amazing night!!!! fire, drinks and dancing! I love our new deck it has a dance floor! Oh and Zoe spent the night again.

SUNDAY a day to relax… yeah right

Mer and I got up early, had steak and eggs for breakfast,  Then got to work on our projects. She was making a planter and I was making her a jewelry box to hang on the wall. Zach came over about 10 and installed his new mother board in his computer while I worked and supervised.

Mer got done with her planter and then it was time for fishing. We went and got our fishing licenses and some new chairs. loaded up the dog and kids, Forgot a few things as usual and finally made it to the lake about 4:30. we went to pay our daily fees at the box and the box was so full our envelope would not fit in. so we kept it with us in case a park ranger came by. When we go there there was gentleman leaving, as he left he ran over a culvert and the drain tube slashed his tire. So I spent about an hour helping this guy change his tire on his big ass truck.

Finally got down to the lake to get some fishing done. Got a text from my mother that my dear cousin Douglas had passed away. That’s a whole different post.

HikingCatching the fish!Melodie  the kids and the dog all went on a hike while Mer and I did some fishing. we didn’t have much luck at all. I grabbed my second fishing pole and hooked it up with some other bait. But the real had different plans and bird nested on me. So I stripped down the line till it was normal again, cut it and re rigged.. then i pulled the trash line out of the water , didn’t want to just leave it there. and attached was this little tiny fish, probably about 3 inches long. so at least we did not get skunked.

We got home about 8ish and BBQed the chicken we were supposed to have on Saturday I fell asleep in the chair and had a little reflection time about Doug. Mer went to bed cause she was going to work in the morning. I was gonna stay home to Celebrate my birthday. Tune in to the next post to see what we did on my birthday!
