And if nothing is fermenting in the basement then something is wrong.

True for me when I'm making lagers, but the ales ferment too fast ( I can't drink 10 gallons a week). But at least something should be fermenting or spunding.

Your right, probably just messing around with floating docks, for no particular reason, ...(boat people, hey, used to be one myself, so I know their ways)...heh.heh...

Here's my conversation with my brother last year. I had been bugging him to get the boat back in the water. I knew what the answer was before he replied.

Brother: I took my boat down to the Cape last weekend.

Me: Did it get in the water?

Brother: No. I had a problem with the fuel pump.

I just brewed today. 10 gallons of homegrown hop pale ale to finish off my hops from last year.

Grumpy has a new friend.

You look very happy to me, I’d say beaming, as expected.

I was thinking it says, "I just pooped myself."

I saw that from both my kids and I'm pretty sure it was "whodafugaryou?"

So the first day of that kid's life he has to look at your face? Cruel.

He’s a she. It’s ok, girls are tough.

Congrats Paulie!

Thanks for all the congratulations folks, but it was Spawn 1 (BTW, the winner of the 2016 Masstoberfest Cup) who did all the work. I just get all the glory.


Ok, I suppose her husband did some small part of the work.

But I STILL get all the glory. All is right in the world.

Now with three grandkids I'm loving the whole grandpa paradigm: love 'em, spoil 'em rotten if that's your thing, then leave 'em!

Cheers!

My friggin Spawn says she’s not going to let S1G2 sleepover on Friday.

WTF? I’ve got 33 years (X 2) of parental experience .(not to mention Mrs Grumpy has half that) and Spawn 1 has about 48 hours. Who the hell does she think she is?

I'm all the way out here in the hinterlands of Wilbraham, without power since 11 last night, hoping all you in the worse-weather regions of the east are still around and your chilling coils and HLTs didn't blow away last night.

We had no power for about 6 hour last night, many broken limbs in yard, etc. Very windy still, no boats, no cell service, sent crew out to work anyway, despite continued high wind they wanted to, and declined my offer of hardhats.

I'll make sure the chipper is running today, we will need it tomorrow. I test fired the main generator before last storm, so far not needed.

BTW, congrats, PTN.

It was already blowing up when I went to bed late last night, I was pretty sure we'd lose power. I was more worried about a tree landing on the house.
My UPS log says we lost power between 4 and 6am here. Everything was back up when we awoke.

Thanks DL.

We never lost power. God wouldn’t do that to my, I’m on a roll

1:05, still out here. National Grid hates Wilbraham.

Edit: 2pm power restored, beer gods must be happy because the stir plate with the WY1469 actually started back up without having to reset the stir bar

Edit2: 81 freaking miles an hour in Boston?! Yee gadzooks.

Had to run over to Natick and saw a lot of trees/big branches down with cleanup crews all over the place.
Is there any money in pine needles? Because I'm rich if there is

Both mine are girls, now in their twenties.

I still get that look sometimes.

(I consider it a badge of honor)

Girls are tough.

What she ^^^^ said.

If you think they’re tough to raise imagine trying to marry one.

Oh I think you are in trouble now.

Had to run into Cambridge this morning and beheld the throngs of rowers and spectators turned out for The Head Of The Charles event.

They finally got a glorious day for it for a change, and between the tree colors and all of the rowing club houses dressed up in full regalia on a bright blue day it was quite the sight...

I fell asleep reading that post

Poor thing. Had to work at your mall kiosk job really late last night?

I feel like your next story will be about how they ran out of your favorite jello at the last Elks Lodge event

I know. I mean, who gives a fark about witnessing a world class rowing event and the associated pageantry, anyway

Why are you even here?

Oh just teasing you old guys... don’t take it too seriously. [emoji571]‍

It doesn’t match the pageantry of fish throwing. Talk about world class athletes.

Throwing a fifteen pound salmon across a crowded market isn’t the spectacle. It’s the amazing self restraint displayed by those pelagic chuckers to not throw the fish into the face of the nearest hipster.
