Weekend Wrap Up

Well I’m so busy during the weekend there is no way I have time to sit down and write a post.  I guess that is a good thing.  Friday night Bambi and I headed to Spring Creek BBQ in Atascocita, we had never been there.  Bambi was craving ribs all day Friday, have to keep Mrs. Prego happy if you know what I mean.  The BBQ was really good and I definitely liked it better than Pappa’s.  Saturday I made an hour long drive to ride 70 miles in a MS150 preparation ride.  I’m not doing the MS150, trying to get my motor (aka legs) ready for the TMBRA mountain bike season.  There are rides closer to Kingwood but I definitely like the safety factor of riding with 500 people instead of 5 to 10.  It was called Pedal Across the Prarie and it was put on by Houston Cycling Centers.  They did a great job and even got a t-shirt and a cheese burger after the ride. 

After the ride I came home and Bambi and I headed to Sharky’s on Lake Houston, it was a beautiful day.  I had just burned 3,000 calories on my ride so I got the fried catfish and fries, ate it all.  Bambi got their fried shrimp, overall the food and service was good.  From there I headed to off to meet one of my bosses to go to the Rockets vs Mavericks game.  He wanted it to be a guys night out so Bambi toughed it out home with the doggies.  Of course the Rockets lossed but we didn’t stay around to the finish, my boss was ready to head to Downing Street.  If you are into cigars, Downing Street is the place to go in Houston.  They have a huge humidor and you are allowed to smoke inside.  Not sure how they pull it off but they do.  I don’t mind smoking a cigar every once in a while but I’m not into smelling like an ash tray after leaving any establishment.  These guys I was with do it every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night.  They drink the finest scotch and smoke their favorite stogies, I guess I’m not old enough yet to be into that kind of stuff.  

   

Sunday was dedicated to house work.  Spray painted some gold mirrors and made them bronze, it turned out really well.  Cleaned the road bike, checked the chemicals for the pool, another coat of paint in the living room, etc.  We ordered our Superman an outfit, check it out.
