I started Memorial Day weekend by taking Friday off. I ran a bunch of errands and did some gardening-related activities that day. On Saturday, we went to a cookout at my brother’s and yesterday, we went to one at my in-law’s. We cooked out for supper today, but it was just the three of us. The weather was pretty nice all weekend, except for yesterday, and we got a lot done outside (but never enough). Today, we finally made our first motorcycle run of the year and it was a lot of fun. I’m still getting my sidecar back together after being painted–we’re down to the fender and lighting (which happens to be on the fender). I’m shooting to have this done by Thunder at the latest.
kurt cobain: montage of heck
I’ve been Nirvana’ed out for about 10 years, but Brian wanted to see this movie so we watched it last night. I think we can both agree that it was a bit slow. Overall, it was pretty interesting, but it did not paint a good picture of Love and Cobain.
My rating: 3/5
that’s better
Due to the weather (snow, rain, what-have-you), I haven’t been able to do much outside this month. It’s just as well, because we’ve been kind of busy. I did manage to make some headway in the garden last night. But, the rest of the yard is overrun with weeds and could use some attention. So that is what I’ll be doing the next couple of nights before it starts raining again. It would also be nice to take a ride on our motorcycles. Just saying.
gun bash
Jacob’s boy scout troop hosted a gun bash today as a fundraiser. I went with the dads (Brian helped out with the bash, so he didn’t get to have any of the fun). Unfortunately, I did not win anything (at least not while I was there–they were still drawing for the guns when I left). But, it was a good time and looked to be a lucrative fundraiser for the troop.
sicario
This was a really good movie that centered around the Mexican drug cartels. Plus it had Benicio Del Toro, who is a fine actor. The ending was phenomenal (I do like a good revenge storyline).
My rating: 4/5
