The Weekend

November 07/15

The weekend has arrived!

No, not the musician but rather the couple of days spaced between TGIF and Manic Monday. That time you get to use to run some errands, do chores around the house and yard, visit with friends, and hopefully just relax, though from the sounds of the aforementioned activities that might not be happening all that much.

This is my dad weekend so it means my son started his week with me last night. I picked him up from his girlfriends after I got off work and we chatted for a bit before he headed off to do some online gaming coupled with YouTube & Netflix watching. What can I say  my son can multi-task :)

Today I was up bright and early to check out the Golf Town Demo sale and am proud to say I was able to land a new Callaway Big Bertha Alpha 815 3 Hybrid for the low price of $100 and a new Ping Scottsdale TR mallet putter for only another $100 - a combined savings of almost $225 off of list price.

Now I'll admit I also had a Ping G30 10.5 degree driver in my hands that was listed at $230, almost 50% off the normal $475 price but couldn't bring myself to buy it as I'm still hitting the Ping I20 really well.

After I was done there I headed home to take my son to his drivers education class before grabbing some breakfast and taking Moki for a walk.

I was back to get him at 11:50 for lunch and afterwards checked out the Journey's on sale at Capital Dodge, still not convinced I want to stay in my Accent hatchback as I miss the higher view from an SUV and had I kept dating C would have been changing out as drives up the valley in the winter aren't as fun in a small car as in the summer.

After checking out the Journey's I swung back by Golf Town and was shocked to see the G30 driver still available so I took it for some test shots in the simulator only to find my distances weren't that much longer compared to my existing I20........smart call not to buy it this morning :)

Groceries were rounded up at Loblaws, didn't see anyone I knew or had anyone try and flirt with me over the fresh produce, and made sure I had everything I need to make beef stew tomorrow. The chilly and wet weather has me in the mood for stew and even the son is looking forward to it.

Tonight was going to be a movie night for us be he's still experiencing some residual pain from having his wisdom teeth pulled out a week ago Thursday so we'll be catching up on The Walking Dead later.

Tomorrow is some yard work while the stew cooks and the son does his English homework.

The weekend is busy with a lot of activities and yet very fulfilling at the same time.

Next weekend is going to be a bit rougher for me but that is a blog entry for another time :)

Stay warm ,stay dry, and stay safe!
