Yep, shuffle board playoffs basically sucked ass, lot of waiting around since we had a by and then 2 teams (from the Wednesday league) did not show up so things got all shuffled around (pun intended). It was mostly that we just played like hell, when we finely got to play. It was nice that my friend Scott showed up, he had some time to kill before he had to help his wife with taking down the KFAI stuff down at Powder Horn Park's May Day Festival.
I invited Scott over for a little homebrew tasting after he was done helping his wife, he home brews also so we like to compare. While waiting I got groceries and a chimney charcoal starter. Oh, which reminds me, I am getting less and less tolerant of other peoples children, the store I go to is a smaller "fancier" type of store so it is mostly pretty mellow. Yesterday was kind of crazy there; kids were running right in front of my cart and getting in the way. The big problem is this store has little kid carts, so as I was going done the narrowest aisle, this mother walks in front of me, her one kid too both cutting me off as it were, her littlest, I am guessing he was 3ish, comes plowing at me with his little cart, his head down and smack, right into my cart. Yeah, I saw him coming but there was not much room for me to move so I let him hit me. The thought was that he could learn a lesson that he needs to pay attention to others. He could have rammed into an elderly person and really hurt them. The other lesson was geared at the mother to pay closer attention to her kids. After he plowed into me, I looked right into his eyes and said sternly to him "you better watch where you are going", the mother had the gall to say that I was crabby, Fuck yeah I was crabby, your stupid kid just rammed into my cart, I retorted to her that she better watch her kid a little better before someone gets hurt.
I usually blow crap like that off, since kids are kids, but I felt a bit disrespected the whole time at the store with kids and parents having no courtesy or respect for other people around them that I felt obliged to say something. I degrees though, what was I talking about?
Oh yeah, so after the store I prepped my stake, the chicken, mushrooms and potatoes, for dinner before he came over. Since I was going to start the grill, I figured that I would make some bbq'ed chicken for lunch for the next couple of days. We had a nice couple of beers and talked about life and politics and beer and music to boot. I was also happy that Pam came with him, haven't seen her in a long time. They were both pooped from hauling stuff back to the car so they did not stick around which was fine since it was getting dark and I needed to grill yet.
I was almost done grilling when Shae made it home, she elected to get Little T's for dinner so I eat while she chatted on the phone with her mom and went to bed.
I am hoping we can hang out a bit today it is wonderfully nice again so maybe a nice walk would be nice, it seems as if we have been going and going since we got back from NC.
