Default Goodbye Summer : (

On Saturday it was 70 degrees and sunny, now it's only 50, gray, windy and overcast. Goodbye Summer . . .

Good riddance. It's 50 out here too and I couldn't be happier, bring on the brewing season. I am so sick of sweating it out in my garage having nightmares about the abundance of unknown contaminates floating around in the air.

I don't mind saying goodbye to summer. I love the fall. This is the perfect time of year. Crisp air. Beautiful countryside. Fires. Football. Great time of year. It's what comes next that I am not overly fond of.

The last three weeks it was cloudy, humid, raining constantly, and in the 80s. Now it's sunny, crisp and in the 50s-60s.

Dunno about anyone else, but I'll take the latter.

I agree with the above about having low humidity and crisp temperatures. It's certainly more comfortable.

I will however miss a few things from Summer. First, baseball. I firmly believe that I suffer a form of Seasonal Affective Disorder, where I become more depressed when there is no baseball being played. Second, the activities. There is always so much more going on in the Summer than other times of years. Third, barbecues.

That's all though. I'm really stoked to start brewing more now that it's more comfortable.

Barbeque is an all through the year activity lest the wind be howling so bad you can't light the coals. Anything less is uncivilized.

I tend to cook out more often in the fall when I can spend a whole afternoon outdoors and not bake in the sun.

That's why I went out and bought an all-climate lighter. This thing shoots a flame 2 inches long no matter what the wind and rain are. But now the wifey wants a blowtorch so she can make creme brulees.
