Good morning everybody. How was your weekend?

Friday, took the light rail to First Ward Park to hang out with Greenr, there was some band playing there called Gander Mopuntain String Band or somesuch something. They sounded really good, but not as good as hearing stories of growing up in Clover from Greenr all night. Stopped on the way back and ate tacos at Hot Taco. Food was decent enough but nothing spectacular, Mexican beer selection played to the ignorant Charlotte millennials, but it wasn't crowded, service was good and quick, and the price was right.

Saturday, got up and did chores so we could head to the Strawberry Festival in Fort Mill and watch wrestling. They had a bunch of retired Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling/WCW/WWF stars putting on several shows during the day. Then, the toilet broke and I had to run to home depot and replace the guts in the tank, then it stormed, and they cancelled the rest of the festival so no wrestling. Went to RH Mom's and hung out for a while, then came home and ate and ran to LOUD rock and roll jam sesh. Ended up being one of those magical nights where everything turned out good, including a couple of tunes off the cuff we've never tried before.

Sunday, slept in, got up and drank coffee, watched Enter The Dragon, then went to RH Mom's for a bit. From there to grocery, back home to walk the pup. Made Cinco de Mayo fajitas and a pitcher of sangria, ate like a feral hog, flopped in the Big Chair and zombied out until bedtime.

I'm going to give the weekend a perfect score of 7 on a scale of -100 to 7, because DJ Ukelele committed and in spite of Clemson baseblah. Enough excitement, relaxing when it needed to be, and the plumbing project went quick and easy with only one string of filthy expletives uttered during the entire process...which is far less then any normal plumbing project of mine.

Friday: got golf cart fixed by The Golf Cart Man of Charleston (said so in big letters on his truck); nice gent and his wife, red af. Even with his expertise, he didn't know for sure what the issue had been, but probably the control box/panel reset itself when I changed the solenoid last year, and I didn't perform the proper seance and sacrificial ritual to restart it. Anyway, cart works meow, added some air to the tires (you'd be amazed how much low tire pressure was slowing it down, who knew?), went to concert at golf course clubhouse across the screet, drank a lot, kids ran around and wore themselves out. Went home and played cornhole and drank a lot more.

Saturday: headed downtown to check into Wentworth Mansion; that place is titties. All set up for a good first anniversary with dinner res at Circa 1886 that night (on Wentworth property, and one of the only 3 Diamond restaurants in a town full of great grub and James Beard winners and shit). Got dressed, went to Derby party at fran's house on Broad, put about $60 on various horse bets/pools, cashed out $30, meh. The DQ moved Code of Honor up from 3rd to 2nd for me in one of the $5 pools, so that helped cut some of my losses.

Also, I cain't 'member if I'd seen this before or not, but frans had their Revolutionary War cannonball out on the counter. Their son found it in their backyard a few years ago. It's British origin, and it's been written about and been on several historical tours around the country. And it weighs 22 lbs., so it'd have gone straight through the floor if dropped.

Left to go back to room for 9:15 dinner res, get to dinner, and as it turns out, one of us was basically too intoxicated to sit at a dinner table, particularly in a nice restaurant. I won't say which of us it was, but it wasn't me. Ended up getting out bottle of champagne to go, hopefully didn't piss off the waiter too bad by bailing (he got a $20 tip on a bottle he didn't even open, so whatever). 19She also misplaced her phone, no idea where. Texted the proprietor of the Derby party, and he's like "wat", and sent a pic of what the party had devolved to: wife and friend on countertops.

A little sleuthing and I located wife's phone between his wife's legs. Not nearly as hot as it sounds.

Sunday: 19She decides to not be mad at me anymore, so we go have breakfast at Circa (included with room); I've eaten my substantial weight in shrimp and grits, and this joint has the best I've ever had. I must learn how to make this spicy tomato gravy they had. It's phenomenal.

Went back to room, lounged in hot tub, had some anniversary ########, went up to roof to check out view, went home. Ordered some calzones from Vinny's, and they were amazing. Napped, acted fat, GOT, bed.

9.5/10
