I took a long weekend, left early to watch the match on Thursday and then took friday off as well. That's all part of burning excess vacation before the new fiscal year July 1st. They had a few people who got crazy with carrying it and cracked down on carrying more than a week.
Overall, the weekend was good. I came down with some kind of cold, which gave me a really sore throat on friday, and then has me still feeling tired and achey. Sadly, I think Nora might have a touch of it as well. She was a pill for most of the weekend.
There were, however, bright spots. It's been beautiful out. Warm, sunny, low humidity, and just perfect. We went to Fort Hill on Saturday. They still haven't gotten the walkway through the cedar swamp fixed. It's been something like three years? Another sad result of America not funding its government properly. I hate it because it's a wonderful walk and a great place to take visitors. Nora told us all the way there she didn't want to go to Fort Hill and then had a great time. We went across the street afterwards and sat behind the house (there's the mansion of a whaling family on the site) and she had a little snack and ran around.
After that, however, I was down for the count tired and spent.
Other than that, I watched some world cup. I played a lot of Marvel Heroes. It's the last weekend of their first anniversary event and there were all kinds of bonuses. Still loving the game. The "speed run" plagues it like it plagues everything though. Have one person run like hell through the thing then teleport to them at the boss. Ugh. But I made best advantage and stacked up bonus potions with the anniversary loot drop bonus and got a lot of artifacts I've been looking for. My Ms. Marvel is in great shape and Squirrel Girl is getting there. Still not sure who I'm going to do next, probably storm as she's already 47 and it's just 13 levels.
And we finally pulled the trigger on the grill. This has been a long time coming. I tried not to look pale when I forked over That Much Money for a grill instead of buying another $100 or $200 "Benny's Special." I think it will be worth it though. We grill 12 months a year and it really fits more in the "major appliance" category than the "occasional outdoor thing." We got the Weber Genesis 330 with the sear burner for steaks and a side burner forwhen we have a hurricane that wipes Cape off the map and it's the only way we can cook when we want to fry something and not stink up the house. I'm looking forward to having a really nice grill that we can do things with like smoking and longer indirect cooking. The last one could do those sorts of things, but the parts started to wear heavily after a year and there were flameouts and all that. This one we'll make an effort to treat well, plus its a weber so we'll be able to get parts.
They deliver it Saturday. I'm looking forward.
