Busyish summerish weekend
May. 19th, 2008 10:05 pmA nice, almost summer like weekend. Even if the weather guesser on NWCN is bloody insane - Lady, we don't want a break from the heat... We want a break from the #$%^$# winter!
Of course, with the prolonged cool spell we've had for a spring, I've kept talking myself out of getting the pool cleaned and ready for summer... which meant it was warm, but no pool. I've gotten that started now so in a week or so it should be ready, possibly in time for the Memorial Day weekend.
Saturday, Brenda and I got up and headed out fairly early to get some geocaching in as part of our commitment to getting out of the house more. I'd chosen some fairly easy ones but we were still quite surprised to find all five we attempted, normally our success rate is closer to 60 or 70%. All five found this weekend were picked to count towards the Kitsap County Challenge Cache with the goal of finishing it by Labor Day. After find the last cache of the day, in Silverdale, we headed over to the Silver City Brewery for beer and a snack. It's been years since I've been in there, their beers are still good and the food has much improved.
In the evening we went over to Rich (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The most amusing part was while recounting his adventures at one point, he started ragging on the Air Farce - a point of view enthusiastically shared by myself (Navy, like Rich) as well as the two Army folks, and the Marine.
Sunday Chuck came over and we our first grilling of the season - we did three racks of ribs with all the summer sides. Yum!
