The first weekend of the month, I went up to Fort Collins to visit a friend I hadn&#8217;t seen in a few years. We spent part of Saturday running around the <a href=\"http:\/\/makerfairenoco.com\/\">Mini Maker Faire in Loveland<\/a>. I picked up a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcduino.com\/\">PC-duino<\/a>, and George met an acquaintance at one of the booths who worked with pinball machines, and had even converted one into a display tied to WWNV and its atomic clock.<\/p>\n<p>The next weekend was <a href=\"https:\/\/swallowhillmusic.org\/events-and-festivals\/ukefest\/\">UkeFest<\/a>. I missed out on the Thursday night activities, but attended <a href=\"http:\/\/jameshillmusic.com\/\">James Hill<\/a>&#8216;s workshop and concert, workshops with the <a href=\"http:\/\/video.search.yahoo.com\/search\/video?p=ooks+of+hazzard\">Ooks of Hazzard<\/a> and a group from Nebraska called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Star-Belle\/180781641989850\">Star Belle<\/a> (marvelous vocal harmonies), <a href=\"http:\/\/video.search.yahoo.com\/search\/video?p=aldrine+guerrero\">Aldrine Guerrero<\/a>&#8216;s concert, and played on stage, both with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.den-uke.com\">Denver Ukulele Community<\/a> group and with the Ooks of Hazzard.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.milehicon.org\/Default.aspx\">MileHiCon 45<\/a>. I haven&#8217;t attended in a number of years. I had a good time. Among other things, I managed to acquire a couple of passes to a preview showing of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1731141\/\">Ender&#8217;s Game<\/a>, which I&#8217;m looking forward to.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend, I&#8217;m looking to do some yard work and cleaning around the house. Probably some cooking and baking, as well. This is what I fixed for dinner last night: chicken breast with a seasoned panko crust, whole-wheat pasta, and a chanterelle mushroom, grape tomato, and shallot sauce.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bendreth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Dinner.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bendreth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Dinner-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Dinner\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-988\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bendreth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Dinner-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bendreth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Dinner.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a month of busy weekends for me.
