Didn't Get Much Done

You know that part about how I was supposed to be working a lot last weekend? Well that was before I remembered that I was to be a judge in a local homebrew competition. Yeah, I got to drink a bunch of beer, all good, all stouts. After that I had to sample a bit of the brewery's beer where the competition was. Then it was on across the street to a crawfish festival. It was pretty good too. And, since the crawfish were spicy, I got thirsty again and ended up back at the original brewery I started at. Now, the problem with all this is, by that time it was still only mid-afternoon. I grabbed some food and headed home. Nap time. Yard work was definitely out of the question.

It would be a good time to interject a bit of disappointment with the crawfish festival. I had been hearing about this thing for weeks. It was heavily advertised, and several of my friends chatted it up too. The crawfish were good, the music was lame though, and that was about all there was to the festival. It was a big parking lot, a stage in front of an 18-wheeler, and ONE BOOTH selling crawfish under a tent. That was it. Seriously. But they had great crawfish.

So, Sunday was filled with tons of work...the kind that didn't include judging in a beer competition. I did about two tons of laundry because I usually put it off until I absolutely have to. In the midst of all the laundry, I was in the back yard pulling all the weeds out of the flower beds. They were so bad they had clover growing in them. I got about half way through. I also finally put some fire ant killer on this gigantic, I mean gigantic, ant mound I had. It was kind of cool. I've been in suburbia for a while now and things like that just get amusing.

And that's about it. Monday and Tuesday have been rather mundane. I have continued the weeding and monitoring the entertaining ant mound, which is pretty much done.

Yeah, this post is done too.
