Weekend work and fun

This weekend was busy. Friday was the disco party and beer was flowing. We started out a The Elephant Bar for dinner and then back to Jill and Todd's to meet up with a third couple; Colin and Janet that we know through Shawn's school activities. Had a quick beer at Jill and Todd's and then off to a pre-party. The pre-party was filled with 30 and 40 something totally decked out in 70's garb with beer, liquor and jello shots galore. We had a couple of beers a few jello shots and off to the party. It was the typical disco party...about 2000 people ages 30-70 trying to break a hip and consuming way too much alcohol.

Saturday morning my wort chiller arrived so after some yard work consisting of cutting the grass, trimming up some trees and weeding Shawn and I headed over to the brewing supply store and picked up the makings for a batch of American Pale Ale. I also stopped by Lowe's and picked up a much needed edger and a smaller gas blower. The lawn has only been edged once in 4 plus years and it was in dire need and my leaf blower was about 12 years old and was extremely difficult to start since the primer ripped off during one of our 3 moves.

Sunday morning it was more yard work. I ended up edging and replacing landscape bulbs and one light fixture. I never did get around to brewing beer this weekend but maybe tonight or later this week.

This week will more than likely be a short work week for me. I'm planning on taking the day off on Thursday to go golfing and to the LPGA tournament that's is in town this week with a few friends. Everything hinges on when the mortgage company calls and schedules to closing on our refinance.
