Sunday Morning

[tojo]

MmmmmmmM........................BACON...............Thick cut BACON...............MmmmmmmmM.........

Is there any other way to have it? More bacon, more better

 

[Kirkwooder]

Good Sunday morning everyone. I am looking forward to another lazy Sunday here in a snowy Western New York. I brewed yesterday and my cascades orange ale in happily bubbling away. My chickens are pecking away at a pile of spent grain. My puppies got a fresh batch of spent grain treats. In a few short weeks I will have a wonderful beer to drink.

I don't know of any other hobby that makes everyone in the house so happy!

I'm thinking about making some thick cut bacon, eggs and home fries for breakfast. Thanks Uniondr.
We still haven't decided what we will be having for dinner, but it is likely to be just the wife and I, so it will be something simple I'm sure.

Is spring ever going to get here?

Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

Another Sunday & I'm at work. It's supposed to be a gorgeous day today, in the 60's, lots of sunshine; and I'll be sleeping away more than 1/2 of it cuz I work nights. Hope everybody remembered to set their clocks ahead 1 hr, well, except for those in AZ. It would be nice if the rest of the country would borrow a page from AZ's time change playbook.
Regards, GF.

Stop flubbing with the time... I'm sleeping... And fishing later... Zzzz

Lazy Sunday so far despite the time change. Drinking some dark roast black coffee and reading back issues of Zymurgy on the iPad (great app btw).
Need to bottle a full 5 gals of Coffee Stout today. I wouldn't be dreading this so much if I just got into kegging. But it's the journey, right?

Cheers.

Good morning, HBT. Well I missed the damn time change so my " feel good sleeping in til ten" now feels like " lazy piece of **** for sleeping till eleven". Oh well.

You know those little moments when your kids say or do something that just make you so damn proud? Makes you feel like you must be doing something right in raising them. I just asked my nine year old boy to please make me a pot of coffee. His response? " Sure" . And he went and made it. Made me so proud. Not sure why.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Got up at 10, made some coffee, talked to my parents on the phone for an hour, then ran out and got some fresh bagels for brunch. I feel a lazy day coming on.

 

[unionrdr]

I got a ton of bottles to wash & delabel. Still waiting for my turn in the kitchen...

Woke up at 10 with a wicked headache after partying till ?? and coming home from buying a keezer off a guy last night with some buddies. Aspirin. Water. Back to sleep. Up at 1 (I blame the time change) and moved from bed to couch. Check HBT for what's new and proceed to scheme on how to skip the grad school homework I need to do. Succeed in talking myself out of it. Look online for houses (moving soon) without much success. Subway for lunch and some tasty potato soup. Grocery store with SWMBO and then back home. Cringe at the thought of work. Failing to sleep thanks to me for waking up half way through the day. Looking forward to kegging my Sky Raider Maple Bacon Ale and waiting for the Merlin Red to finish priming.

Good Sunday morning HBT.

Another Sunday has again graced my life. Some late night drama from some young lovers who had celebrated St. Patty's day a little to robustly, had the wife and I up through most of the middle of the night, so our day is starting a bit later than it normally would. I think the window for breakfast has passed and am looking forward to a classic chicken and dumplings Sunday dinner with the wife and oldest daughter instead. I think I way to old for all that kind of stuff!

The wind is blowing hard and it is again snowing. Seems like Sunday should be renamed Snowday here in Western New York. After a week of sunshine and temps. near 50*, this 30* and nasty isn't very nice.

I need to rack and dry hop my orange cascades pale ale, and bottle my house rye. I'll make some time for that before dinner I think. Then I'll be able to do the clean up while diner is cooking. I can't wait to try the o/c. It's the first time I've brewed it although I've been wanting to for a couple years now. Reminds me of that catsup commercial from back in the day. Anticipation is making me wait.......

I hope that this Sunday finds everyone well, and that everyone enjoy's what ever life brings their way today.

Good Morning!
Getting the family ready (8am over here) to head over to the San Diego zoo...sometimes I think I get more excited than my kid.

We got more snow overnight now a blowing snow Sunday as well.
And the beat goes on.....
However , was itching to try a new batch of single hop columbus (5ozs total) IPA that i bottled
5 days ago and i seldom have a beer with breakfast but this morning was different .
Bacon, pepperjack cheese omlette, homefries, fresh baked multigrain/nut sourdough toast and a glass of columbus IPA made everything right in my world. The beer was quite tasty and already carbonated .
I like columbus

It's a good Sunday.

I'm home between road trips. I'm making waffles for my wife and daughter.

My mom got out if the hospital last night. She got a really nasty rotovirus infection (She's immune compromised because of a double lung transplant). This may have been her biggest health scare since she had the transplant.

I'll give her a call after breakfast.

 

[Glasscloud]

Didn't sleep until 4am so I didn't wake up until around noon.


Just enjoying my Sunday before I start my new job soon. Orientation tomorrow, might start Tuesday might not start until the next week idk.


Spend the day cleaning up and will now in enjoy a few(hopefully just a few) brews and grill up something nice in a bit. The weather has been great for the most part but it's been pretty windy this past week, hope that changes soon.

 

[markvale5]

All of our drinks.

Another Sunday morning & here I am at work. After work it'll be laundry & racking a couple of wines, provided my back is up to lifting 6 gallon glass carbouys. Hope everybody's Sunday is a good one, no matter what you do (or don't do).
Regards, GF.

Yet again Sunday morning dawns to see snow falling from the heavens here in Western New York. I was going to brew a IPA (EEpaw as per Billy) today. However, it looks like today might be a good day to get caught up on laundry and some house cleaning. It is currently 21* and the temps are supposed to fall all day. Combine that with the snow and a light breeze and the forecast for tomorrow is for sun and temps in the 40's, and I think I'll wait.

I think I'll fry up some hash and eggs for breakfast, and maybe even make a loaf or two of homemade bread.

I got to spend the afternoon with my daughter and grandson yesterday. That will be hard to top today so I don't think I'll even try.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful day and that everyone enjoys whatever it brings along!

Cold Again this morning here, like 23F. Was pleasant yesterday, so I bottled my kottbusser. Supposed to be unseasonably cold tonight. Dang it, wtf happened to spring?

 

[pointcity-homebrew]

I am finishing up a paper, decided to go back to school since I get free tuition at the University. I am also going to be smoking a shoulder today and will be eating with my in-laws this evening.

 

[Auger]

One of the local towns here does a maple festival every year. They have all sorts of events on the main drag, an antique tractor parade, and a few maple sugar houses open up for tours. I did it with my daughter last year, we'll probably head out and do that again today. Its pretty chilly, but at least the sun is out.

 

[unionrdr]

I wish I could find maple sugar around here. It'd be great for Christmas confections & dry rub for ribs!

 

[markvale5]

Good Morning! We are going to the Auto Club 400 today.

 

[Auger]

This year is like last year....its not getting warm enough right now to get the sap flowing well. Sugar houses are getting a late start again.

I talked to one guy last year about getting 5gal of raw sap to use as a base for a beer. He wasn't too interested, unfortunately. Maybe I'll try another place today. I'm going to throw a bucket in the car just in case.

Tap a tree your self!

 

[Auger]

I talked to a guy at one place, he said he'd be happy to give me a bucket of sap, but that I'd have to call him in a few weeks when it starts warming up and the sap flows a little more. He did suggest tapping a few trees myself if I have them, because when the sap is running he said I could get 5-10gal over the course of a few days. For some reason that never really crossed my mind. We have a few maple trees around, I'll have to keep an eye out for equipment since I don't have any.

Tractor supply usually has all that stuff in stock this time of year. If you have one near you.
