Weekend Wrapup
I keep meaning to post these... and I've already missed two much more interesting weekends...
Saturday
Up and off to the Bremerton Elks Car Show. Brenda didn't go, which was probably a good thing because she'd have been bored to tears pretty quickly. It's not that she doesn't appreciate cars, but I went through them at what ended up being a pretty slow pace. Lots of photography (and hoping a few come out), and lots of chatter/reminiscing with folks about muscle cars back in the 70's and early 80's.
Being gas guzzlers post the Oil Crisis, and with the original owners were morphing into Responsible Adults, they were common among teenagers when I was in high school because they could be had pretty cheaply. Tools and parts were common and easy to come by, so they could maintained in the front yard. And oh boy, did we spend a lot of time on that - many had been driven into the ground. (Back then, a car with 50k miles on it was generally pretty much clapped out.)
Back home for a few chores and a nap.. and then off to the Bremerton Brewfest.
We had a blast at the Brewfest... the organizers really took the lessons from last year (which was the first year) to heart. They cordoned off more of the streets without increasing the number of breweries much, which made things much more comfortable as there was more room to hang out and less crowding around the booths. The brewers also brought a wider variety of beers, last year was dominated by light summer ales which became pretty boring after a bit.
Of course, being Bremerton, which is a pretty small town, we ran into bucket loads of friends and acquaintances. At one point we spent about half an hour standing in one spot and chatting with friends as they happened by.
Dinner afterwards at the Curry Lounge, which replaced the New Delhi - new owners, same fantastic Indian food, much better service.
Sunday
Not so busy a day... :) Mostly hanging about the house doing chores and napping. We went up to Silver City for dinner because Brenda had a birthday coupon which was only good Sun-Thurs, and which expired in a week.
Now it's Monday and a semi-busy week... two meetings, and time to start sweating getting ready to cook for Summer Madness.
