Just started making a big pot of chili, probably make a batch of spent grain bread to go with it.

This afternoon I'll be cursing at my TV as the Bills inevitably blow a very winnable game against the Titans. I'll probably enjoy a few HB brown ales and a couple microbrews throughout the day as well.
 
This Sunday morning is cloudy, cool, and lovely. I plan to get some fish and vegetables going in the crockpot and some spent grain bread in the bread machine. Then I'm off to watch my Lions hopefully get their first win of the season. Not totally sure why I like to torture myself by watching them every Sunday... But I do. Even go out of my way to see the games now that I live out of state.
 
This Sunday morning is starting off clear and cool. The weatherman claims it's supposed to be another nice October day. I'll likely spend it cleaning up from a small party we had yesterday, cleaning up the shop after finally getting my MG's motor back in and running, or maybe I'll just go cruising on my new utv. We'll just have to see. Later we are off to spend the afternoon shopping for the grandson's first birthday.

But first I need to get my poultry fed, and some breakfast made. French toast and bacon sounds about right!

I hope everyone enjoys their Sunday.

:goat:

Just went through our Grandsons first birthday. May I suggest a big cardboard box filled with balloons? He will love both of them and spend hours crawling after balloons and climbing in and out of the box! Take the money you did not spend and stash it in a college account.....he will never know and thank you later.

Ah, the soul crushing life of a Bills fan...

Drinking some coffee after getting to sleep in, then taking my son to hockey practice. The misses decided I will skip watching football and take our kids out to a pumpkin farm this afternoon. ****! Beers will flow when I finally get back home.
 
Yes! Friends bailed on going to the pumpkin farm. Maybe I can watch football after all! :D

Same thing I'm doing everyday: packing the house and listing stuff for sale.

I should have done this years ago. I put my 5 glass carboys up for sale yesterday. It hasn't been 24 hours and I've sold two and have a sale pending for the other three.
 
Up at 5:30 to brew an amber. Pitched yeast at 10:10, changed clothes and went to church. Watching the Bears game. Why do I torture myself? Hopefully Fox can get us turned around next year. Cleaning off the deck and getting it ready for a neighbors afternoon after the game. It will be mid 70's and sunny. Going to sit, visit and enjoy some home brews. It will be my first taste of two IPAs I kegged a couple days ago. Had them on 30 psi for 30 hours and then set at 12 psi this morning. Probably not quite there, but good enough for a taste. Dinner will be burgers on the grill. All in all a good day. Cheers everyone!

Sounds like my day love it !
 
Easy start to the day. Curled up on the sofa with my 10 year old watching old episodes of Scrapheap Challenge for some daddy daughter time.
 
I spent the day yesterday with 8 kids, less than 3 years old, and their parents, at my grandson's first birthday party. Can anyone say,"utter chaos". Wow, someone needs to figure out a way to harness the energy of a toddler, and the worlds energy problems would be solved!

Today will be spent a bit calmer, with 4 coon hound pups in a training session. No less energy, but half the number, and something I'm a bit more used to. The chaos of bawling hounds is somehow more preferable to me, than a house full of someone else's squealing kids. I wouldn't have missed his party for anything, but still I can't wait until he can come running hounds with me.

Later, I need to put some brakes on my wife's car and at some point I will sit down and watch the Bill's lose another game, while I enjoy a couple home brews. I should put some time in, in the tree stand, but there just won't be any time for that today.

All in ll, a great weekend. I hope everyone else has as good a Sunday my weekend has been.

How I loathe those mornings when my mind is much sharper and ready to go than my body is.

I'll be heading out to the grocery store before coming home and dealing with the last of this year's garden offerings. Some family is coming by this afternoon, so a bit of a cleaning is in order. I've got several carboys whose current occupants need my attention, so hopefully will be able to attend to them. A saison potentially needs bottled, a braggot needs sampling at the very least, and a barleywine needs racked to secondary and oaked. Somehow, I am determined to get all of this done.

And I need to go buy some Mad Elf, now that it's out.
 
Brewing an 8% DIPA with 15 oz of hops this morning. Struggled with my mash temp because it's so cold out, but it turned out alright. Getting ready to sparge now.
 
No brewing for me today folks as I will be headed to the worlds most famous arena Madison Square Garden for Rangers v. Devils at 1. First game of the season for the SWMBO and myself and very much looking forward to it!

Have a great Sunday everyone!
 
Should be a pretty low key day here... Up before the rest of the folks, sipping some coffee while the dog catches a few more winks beside me. Frying up some sausages for breakfast, and then hope to get another couple of coats of chalkboard paint and the sanding finished on my keezer build before lunch. After lunch SWMBO and I are going to bottle my sour blonde, and then this afternoon a friend is coming over to take some of these cases of bottles off my hands, since I won't be needing that many anymore once my keezer is finished. Need to take a sample of my Table Saison and ramp the temp up on that, and this evening I'm grilling bacon Gorgonzola burgers for the family. We'll probably wind down the evening either catching up on TV shows we missed this past week or listening to the Reverend Billy show.
 
Enjoying some coffee before I run to son's hockey practice. Afterwards, watching football and having some family over. They're bringing some chili over, and the beers will flow. Might brew something up tonight if I get motivated and aren't bombed.
 
Letting some stuff dry off that I cleaned up to bottle the ordinary bitter finally. Get the vinegar going & clean up again. Not in much of a hurry though, as cold weather makes my pains a bit sharper. Appreciate youth while you may...it sure ain't gonna last!
 
Started vacation today. 10 glorious days off. Flying clear across the continent and back on that time for a wedding. Bottled wine this morning. Now im watching cartoons with my princess and sampling the 3/4 bottle that was left of said wine. Enjoy the day.
 
We went to church. Then to lunch. Then home and watched the hapless Bills (3-3) lose the 3rd of 4 home games.:confused: At least it was good for a catnap or two. Ate some of my wife's awesome chili. Got tools ready for the start of a big job tomorrow. Great day, very blessed.
 
Sunday will be 550 miles of driving from Indiana to Minnesota. Then hopefully, once I'm home I can get some sleep.
 
This Sunday morning is the opening day of fox, coon, and coyote trapping in my area and I'll be setting a few traps later in an attempt to control some of the exploding coyote population. I'll likely spend the first couple hours after sun up sitting in my tree stand looking for Bowinkle to come by.

It's a cool 50*F here this morning and has been raining off and on all night. The rain stopped sometime early this morning and will have quite'd down the crunching of the leaves. All this promises to make for a good day in the woods, but first, some bacon, eggs, home fries and toast to get the day started off right.

Later I'll not be watching the Bill's and Jaguars, playing, because the NFL had the wisdom to send the game to London. Thanks! I'm sure glad that the state of New York, the county of Monroe, and the city of Buffalo spent tens of millions of tax dollars on a stadium renovation so that Londoner's can enjoy our pastime live instead of us. It won't be on TV in our area either. How STUPID!

Maybe I'll bottle one of the wheat beers that really needed it two weeks ago, instead.

I hope everyone enjoys whatever their Sunday brings their way!

On duty at church today. Just finished coffee and woke the kids. After church spaghetti and a carb coma until 4:30ish then back to church. Afterwards, some bbc show and some beers.

O Day of Rest and Gladness!!!!
