Another quiet weekend. Had some light flurries on Saturday night and then some freezing rain last night. Streets were nice and slick this morning – which means more salt was put down. Oh well, what can you do.
Highlight of the weekend was Ed & Sue’s football party yesterday. As usual, they put on quite the spread; chips, dips, chains & whips. Calzones and home-made chili, too. Superb stick-to-your-ribs fare for tempering the beerverages being consumed. Flex, Mike and Denny joined the festivities…Zig came along as well, but was on-call and got ‘the call’ (to clear some of the lot in case plowing was needed) almost as soon as he arrived, so he had to split.
We watched the some of the pregames – saw Detroit almost pull off an upset against Dallas (was bummed to see Dallas pull of the last-second victory). Also saw San Diego almost get beaten by Tennessee, but that fell short in the final seconds as well. The main event was to see if our Patriots could maintain their unbeaten streak, and they did, so we were happy. We started to watch the Indy-Baltimore game, hoping to see Baltimore do some beating up, but they were the ones taking the beating so we said our thanks to our hosts and headed off in our home directions.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot; Ed came into possession of a sweet bike lift, but he already had one…so he asked me if I wanted his old one (it’s hardly old, it looks brand new). So of course I said yes. He’s whacking me a whopping $40 bucks for the thing, is that a deal or what? Thanks Ed!
There’s been some chatter about next summer’s Rendezvous. A few more tickets needed over here…some new interest over there…looks like we’re shaping up to have an even bigger crowd than last year. But that’s next summer, when the temps are warm and the roadways are clear again.
For now; snow lines the streets…ice cakes the tree limbs…and the bike sits at the ready, waiting to be awakened once again. Not soon enough will that happen.
