A friendly place for friends who drink

[Zekk]

Coffee. Long day of yard work and hopefully bottling my DEM.

Golfing today, glad I did some stuff yesterday so I don't feel so guilty about going. Haven't played since I blew up at The Ridge at Castle Pines a couple weeks ago. Got a light in the bathroom yesterday. This thing was expensive for single sconce and I don't know if it matches. That being said it's like being at the club.

Hi!

Hi!

How's the remodel going? The floor looks good.

Thanks! Going good- time has been at a premium lately so I haven't been able to devote as much time to it as I want. Just have to finish trim and I'm going to replace the slider that leads to the sunroom and I am in the process of refinishing the mantle around the fireplace.

Brizzo, there is a place in Heaven for ya lad ... ... :rockin:

All pretty decent, but nothing standout here for me at ABGB. For some really hop-forward descriptions, most just tasted very similar and a lot of bitterness, not much for flavor/aroma. Had some good pizza, though! The Hells yes Helles, IIPA and Imperial red were my favs of the bunch.

I'm with ya, best of the bunch for sure. Pint house is on the agenda today, because more pizza and beer just seems like a great idea! Happy Monday friendly working folks!! [emoji12]

Recreational camping or hiking/4 wheeling camping?

4 strawberry
3 egg plants
1 bananna pepper
1 poblano (these do well)
3 various bell pepper (never have let sit long enough to turn colors)
1 sweet pepper
4 basic tomato plants
2 cherry tomato
3 lettuce
3 spinach
6 broccoli
3 brussel sprouts
4 green bean plants
2 cillantro
2 basil
1 red lettuce

I think this is about it more or less. They are in 1 3 and 7 gallon grow bags. The pools are self watering and I have been posting on a garden thread that will be easy to find if you are curious for more.

Im trying to grow things that are plentiful and grow well here. Also things that aren't super cheap to buy, like corn. This year I have a lot of seed going as well. My favorites are the eggplant and green beans. Haven't found a good place to do squash yet. I want to grow hops next!

Glad to hear you're having a good trip. Look forward to seeing what kind of pizza and beer you got into today.

Recreational camping or hiking/4 wheeling camping?

Recreational camping and hiking. My wife and I used to hike every day when camping. Mostly because we need the exercise . But with a 2 year old and 4 year old I'm not sure. I used to hike with my son in a pack, but since my herniated disc I'm not sure I can withstand the pain. Or I guess better said it might send me into a relapse. I would love to 4 wheel but don't know where to go or how to. Did you say 4 wheel camping what is that? Have you spent much time where we're going could you recommend anything? The vehicle is a 98 4 Runner.

Hi.

 

[Qhrumphf]

So, uh, how are things?

 

[blizzard]

Scrap, corn is already 5 for $1 and it isn't even in season yet. Olathe sweetcorn will be coming in soon and is usually 4-5-6+ ears/$1.

Hey

This is real nice and crisp. I still liked the raspberry one made with saison yeast the best out of the several ones you sent me (who can guess why?). But every one of them has been very good

Also, tried the one labeled "Sweet Stout, bottled 4-12. I figured at the lower abv it would be ok to go. Nice balance of roast, chocolate, good mouthfeel. What yeast did you use in this? I got a tiny bit of that tangy tinge that my stouts/porters would have when I used WLP004/WY#whatever/Guiness yeast. Still waiting on trying those big stouts you sent me but looking forward to it

Thanks, exactly. That is what I was trying to say, but blundered. Last time I grew corn they got this bug and the stuff to kill it was like $9. That's a lot of ears at the store. Our colorado corn is good no? I wonder how it compares?

Olathe sweetcorn is good when it's fresh and peak season. I think Indiana sweetcorn is probably a little better, but there probably is some nostalgia-bias going on there. In truth, I probably couldn't tell the difference.

Lots of good stuff! Only have ever grown some basics like some tomatoes, cucumbers, some wild wild lettuce, and some herbs like basil and rosemary.

Had lunch and beer at Pinthouse Pizza today. Good pizza - had the cannonball, essentially a meat lovers type pizza. I think I tasted all of their pale and IPA's, and thought all were quite delicious. Thanks for the recommendation, @PianoMan! The electric jelly fish was great. They also just tapped a wit, which my wife had 2 of. Finished off with the "sassy" something or the other (an imperial IPA), which, as goofy as the name sounded, was a delicious ~8% ipa. Liked this lineup way better than ABGB.

Yeah, I grew up not too far from there. Haven't been back in a long time though.

That mango is probably ultra dry by now. Sweet Stout was London 1968. If you have one label B4, that's not my best, but was the first without dark grain astringency..so was an improvement from previous batches. Thanks m00ps for trying!

Coffee before an early morning Emergency Response Team training class.
