I have to admit, it was a pretty good weekend. I got to spend some time on my deck, I got some work done, all of my sports teams won, I did some reading, I ate some good food, and the weather was practically perfect. In fact, I spent more time out on my deck than I have probably all summer and it was glorious. It gave me a lot of time to think about a lot of things.
Several of those things will probably take the shape of some future posts. I also thought about some things from my post last Friday and all of the great responses I got from it. I really appreciate the wealth of knowledge here on HIVE from people in all walks of life.
Despite what you might think, it wasn't a perfect weekend, but as I said, I'll get into that a bit more in a future post. Looking back, it was actually a quite full weekend, but somewhere in there I was able to just take a lot of time to just reflect. Although I may not deliver any great epiphanies in this post, I almost put it in the reflections community.
@mrsbozz and I spent a wonderful evening on the deck Friday night drinking some good whiskey (Tin Cup 10 Year, Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 year, and Deer Hammer), enjoying the fire, and listening to some good music (Bon Jovi of course!).
@mrsbozz doesn't drink whiskey, she had spiced rum and diet coke.
We got up on Saturday morning and after trying and failing once again to make the perfect omelette, we headed out for a little exercise. The flavors were great with the omelette, but it just kind of fell apart on me again. Like I said before, it's the flip that gets you.
We headed to a local disc golf course and while I hit some trees, my wife walked with me carrying my disc bag and listening to her audiobook. Despite all the trees, I shot a 10 over which is my second best score on that course all summer. I was able avoid anything over a double bogey and I even got a couple birdies.
I came home, mowed the lawn, pulled some weeds, and then spent some time on the couch reading my book while football played in the background. When it was time for the Michigan State game I moved the TV out to the deck and then we spent the rest of the afternoon and evening out there.
If you have a Trader Joe's near you, I highly encourage you to try out this Oktoberfest that they have special. It's probably one of the best Oktoberfests I have had in quite some time. At least since last year... My wife also enjoyed this Allagash White that hails from a little closer than Germany. I'll be including this as a #beersaturday post sponsored by @detlev. In fact, the Oktoberfest was so good, I had my inlaws pick up another 4 pack for me while they were down near a Trader Joe's.
Later Saturday afternoon I threw a few turkey breasts on the grill for both our dinner and to fulfill a couple orders I had gotten from my mother and father in law and my brother in law. My smoked turkey breast have become a special treat for them that they request every now and then.
After that, it was more thinking, more College football, and more drinking (Captain Morgan and Coke, despite the glass). As @mrsbozz pointed out when we have to put the TV on the firepit you aren't able to also have a fire which is kind of a bummer. You can also see @mrsbozz's Chromebook in this photo, s he was doing some work for school while I was relaxing.
Sunday morning we got up and went for a walk back at the new park I talked about here, and then it was back home for an afternoon of NFL football, more grilling, and zero drinking (it's a school night after all!).
As I said, it wasn't the perfect weekend, but honestly, it was pretty darn close. I'm looking forward to sharing some of the thoughts and questions that popped into my mind while I was sitting out on my deck. I might not get to all of them this week, but I promise I will do my best.

Awesome! I had a great weekend myself and could also spend some time just thinking. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
That deck does look like the perfect place to relax and throw back a cold one. I'd love hanging out there.
Thanks! We are doing our best to try to turn it into a nice little oasis.

What an awesome weekend! Glad you got to enjoy and get some thinking done. The whiskeys all sounded really nice, I bet you enjoyed! Then some Captain on Saturday... The grilled turkey looked great!
No weekend is ever perfect, but I'll take close any day of the week!
Those turkeys have become something of a favorite of ours. I even turned my parents on to them. A lot of times at Thanksgiving the inlaws ask for my smoked turkey versus a full bird.
Good food, good drink good life.
That does, indeed, sound like a "darned-near-perfect" weekend! 😊
Sounds like a very relaxing weekend :)
Jooo - that looks relaxing, tasty and refreshing....
...love to add my feets to that pics. ;-)
Thanks! Yeah, it was a really good one. My wife liked her beer too!
That sounds like a great relaxing one!
Good Food, sport and good booze. What more do you want for a great weekend.
Indeed! It was pretty great!

STOPI suppose it's cool enough now not to have to worry about Mosquitos?
They were out a little bit, but not quite as bad as they could have been. It's been super dry around here for a while now, so that helped.
