No, he's 8.5 weeks. I brewed 20 gallons a couple weeks after he was born! Believe me, it's not the kiddo. It's the fact that I currently have 4 of my fermenters tied up with long-term sour/funky beers, 2 of them with 10 gallons of lagering helles bock, and I have like 6 kegs on top of that that aren't even in my fridges that are waiting for when one of the current 5 kegs kick. Not to mention that I probably have 15 or so cases of bottled stuff. In other words, I haz way too much beer.

Ever seen the show "Hoarders" on A&E (comes on right after "Intervention")? Might want to check it out...:D
 
Bailing on work early, in about an hour actually. Then smoking a couple butts and a couple chickens all night. I have a Belgian Specialty Ale that needs to be transferred. That may happen tonight. Saturday picking things up and heading to KY Lake. Family tradition. Spent every Labor Day of my life there. I'll be taking my Peach Wheat, some Kolsch, English Brown and a very, very delightful American Pale that is finished with Bullion and Centennial. Leaving early on Monday to come back and I don't really know what is in store that day. If I have time to brew I may. Also taking Tuesday off but not really going to do a heck of a lot that day.
 
Stuck at work till 5. This is going to be a long afternoon. No idea what I'm doing this weekend. Might plan an all day hike on Sunday. I really want to brew. I brewed 10 gallons last weekend, and have 5 more aging. It might have to wait a few more weeks for my fermentation chamber to open up. I have a lot of cleaning, which I really don't' want to do.
 
Yooper, I want your life. So rugged and remote and self sufficient. It is my dream to become Jeremiah Friggin Johnson.

Going to watch a Baseball game tonight. Running the dog early tomorrow, immediately followed by some trap shooting/gun training in prep for bird season. Then I have to clean a couple cornys I got for free, cold crash my amber, and go to the LHBS.
Sunday is bottling the amber and brewing my Guinness-like Snake Driver Irish Stout... phew! Who knows what will happen Monday
 
I just got home last night from a work trip to Minneapolis. The reason being:Dolphins ship out to Minneapolis zoo This past week has been a bit crazy with the move and all, so on my day off I'm going to sit outside in the nice weather drinking a bit. I plan on brewing tomorrow or Sunday the 'Shiver me Bitters' as well.
 
In short, great food, good beer, friends, and "working" outside. My favorite things!

You have what sounds like such an awesome life. I am trying to break my self and wifey into the outdoors seen as I am getting way more into that when I was younger.

My weekend involves Camping with the my wife's childhood group. All her parents camping friends kids are all getting together. It will be just like when she's a kid. Should be a good time. It will be nice to have our own camper this time too and my MIL has volunteered to have the bean sleep in theirs since we have a pop up and our spot is away from where everyone will be hanging out. Sweet! Only thing I have to take is some Apfelwein. Found my Beer out connector to be not fully on yesterday which is why my Fat Tire keg is not carbed yet. Reacked my Smoked Porter to keg last night, IPA is still in primary, and Greenwood Rover is still in primary....
 
Probably raking out the holes my greyhounds dig in the new lawn and re-seeding. Looking like rain all weekend, so I probably won't get many blackberries. They are finally ripening up here, but the crop looks much better than 2008.

Next weekend is looking busy, Hop Madness, Septembeerfest, and starting a Square Dancing class. Haven't SD in 15 years.
 
I've got a rehearsal dinner tonight and a wedding tomorrow. After that, I have no idea. I'm off all of next week as the contractors come in to start actually redoing our kitchen (my wife and I started the demo job 2 hours after we closed on the place in the beginning of April).
 
Looks like we are going to to the casino for dinner tonight. Supposedly there is a nice Italian place there now so we will see.

I am really full from the work BBQ right now so food doesn't sound good.
 
Welcome weekend! Hanging low tonight. Bluegrass on Pandora, a little practice on the banjo, homebrew (and some commercial beer), new edition of Zymurgy. I can't complain
 
I'm just chilling out tonight....bbq and beers tomorrow, striper/blue fishing sunday and monday...good weekend
