Sunday Morning

[JohnSand]

Went to see my stepfather this morning with a card and a gift certificate. Went to church and wished Father Bill a happy Father's Day. Took my lovely wife sailing, drove a friend home from the harbor who knew he'd had too many. Heard from all of my (step) children. Talked to my dear friend's father, he said it was like early Christmas to hear my voice.
This was a pretty great day.

Slept in until 7:20AM for a change. Got some more beer bottle collection labels dried & stacked up to flatten atm. Waiting on some coffee on a cool, sunny Sunday morning. Have a good one, y'all!

A nice quiet morning, woke up about quarter to 5 and could not get back to sleep so I got up and had a nice cuppa while spending time planning my holiday stout. Maybe a mid morning nap will do...

Good Sunday morning everyone. Today is dawning cool and clear with the likelihood that we reach 90*+ again today. I have some yard work to get done this morning, then I'm going to try to talk the wife into doing some tastings somewhere.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!

Marinating some chicken and peppers/onions to throw on the grill in a few minutes. Shish kabob time!

Something in the built-in spell checker messed up too bad yesterday & got so bad it was locking up anything on websites to do with left-clicking. Then the HP support tech set the computer to restore to 7/1, & said goodbye. It failed. So I had to do everything manually...some at a snails pace once initiated. Took me till past 3:30AM to get to where I could shut down & get some sleep. Ha! No rest for the weary. I couldn't sleep at all last night. Still need newer BS2 recipes to reassociate, which I cannot do. Waiting on e-mail reply to get back to the recipe for the Mumme. Damn HP techs...I'm definitely Freddie Flameout today!

This Sunday morning is dawning cool and cloudy. We had a little rain here in Western New York yesterday, but are far below our usual rainfall amounts. Rain again today would be a welcome thing, even though we have our daughter, son in law, and grandson here for the weekend. I am sure there will be enough rain free time for the UTV to get several miles put on it keeping the little one entertained.

There is lots that needs doing today. The weeds seem to be the only thing growing in the garden, other than the green beans. If we don't spend a little time getting after the weeds every day then we will fall too far behind to keep up. The wife picked, snipped and canned three canners full of beans yesterday and there are more ready. I still have about half a dozen dead pine trees that need cutting and two cherry trees that need planting. The MG could use some attention paid to the rear brakes before we take it out again, the old tractor needs a set of points, the chicken coupe has been over run by raccoons, the mower has a flat tire, and the list goes on and on.

First thins first though, blue berry pancakes with real maple syrup, eggs, bacon, sausage links and some strong coffee are needed to get this day started right.

I hope everyone enjoys their Sunday!

Woke up in the wee ours, took a nap & got up to make some roasty coffee & raspberry toaster strudel.

Working in an IPA for a friend (he does not know) Working with ingredients that he likes and trying to come up with a Citra-Mosic IPA. Got this so far.

Whirlpool additions are actually 40 min, but they are at 170°F, so I do not like beersmith's calculations for bitterness at this point - at least perceived bitterness as far as I am concerned. Maybe they are spot on, but I can only work with perceived bitterness as I do not have a test lab, but do have tastebuds

Back in the saddle again! First brew for 2016 is a Pliny Clone using as many of my old 2013-2014 hops still sitting at the back of the freezer.

This Sunday morning finds me cool & comfortable with my new window A/C unit. Room is now down from 85-105F to 67F. Gonna check internal temp of Mumme in a while. Cooler temps should finally get it to settle out clear.

Morning! Coffee and watching some beach volleyball on a beautiful Sunday!

 

[Johow]

I might brew today, I have everything I need to do so including a yeast stater that's sitting and spinning on the stir plater. Then again, I might just do it tomorrow....

 

[unionrdr]

I have a couple HB bottles to clean. A few more to save the labels from for my collection I'll be mounting in 18 x 24 poster frames. Trading the extras labels, & a few extra coasters I have from the UK & such.

 

[treacheroustexan]

Brewed at 7am this morning. Only took 3 1/2 hours! Time to go get tacos.

Brew coffee. Check fermentor- no action from the WLP080 I pitched at 1AM yet. Watched This Week, so I'm informed about the political circus, then made a late breakfast.

 

[Redlantern]

how the heck do you keep the sausage and French Toast stuck to the plate like that?

Maybe he forgot to mention he's having breakfast with Major Tom???

Oops...guess my sometimers is showing again? My bad...

This Sunday morning dawned cooler and raining, a rare occurrence this summer. We have already received more rain this morning than we have seen since the first of July. It's supposed to rain all day today. Picking and canning our bumper crop of tomatoes will likely be pushed off for another day, as will mowing the lawn.

Breakfast consisted of last nights cold pizza. It was a wood oven fired creation by our favorite pie shop. Not our typical Sunday morning spread but just as good.

I have a woodworking project that I need to get moving on in my workshop, so it looks like today may be spent out there. Then again, my wife just suggested checking out a new micro brewery about an hour and a half away. I guess we'll have to see.

I hope everyone enjoys whatever their Sunday brings.

Saison season. Making 3G farmhouse ale this am and when that racks to the keg I will use the yeast for a cottage ale. At that point my 3G kegs will be full. Then I'll need to fill two 5G kegs.

Sitting by the pool with my daughter, enjoying a few cold ones.

1st Sunday in September & here I am working; only about 30 mins to go till my shift ends. After work I'll be grillin' & chillin' and doing laundry. I can smell autumn in the air, though it's technically a ways off yet. There is snow forecast for higher elevations in some parts of the state, but I'd be happy with a bit of rain here in the valley. Currently 46*F, should be a nice day as long as there's no big wind. Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
Regards, GF.

Getting saddled up to go camping. One joy of retirement, camp during the week and after Labor Day! Door County Wi, supposed to rain first part of the week, but we have an A-frame pop up and raincoats, and we're planning on eating at the local places anyway. As long as it's not severe....

Also frantically planting things I started this spring that never made it into the ground yet, wildflowers kind of things. It's been so nice and cool! And dry! 5 days without rain!

I've been busy shooting video while restoring an old Crosman model 160 Pellgun I found in my closet. 1955-56 variant 1 model in .22 caliber. Great small game gun that uses 2 Co2 Powerlets for about anything up to turkeys. I shot & posted 2 videos this weekend, including yesterday. Trying to get the hand-rubbed oil finish on the stock done. Gonna take apart the barrel/receiver/Co2 pressure cylinder today.
My batch of Mumme is settling out clear pretty slowly. All those gruits seem to make a really foggy mess that takes awhile to settle out?! So, I drank coffee & puttered around in the man cave most of the cool, sunny day. A very pleasant Sunday indeed! Had beer & tequila Friday to kick off the blue-collar holiday weekend!!

I haven't brewed since we moved to the island last November. I've been using the mini fridge I brought for fermentation as a beer fridge & it's been living on the porch of our condo.

Last night, I unplugged it so I could start reconfiguring the chilling plate and air circulation fans for fermentation.

I didn't realize until I went to work on it this morning that the chiller plate is covered in an inch of ice.

Maybe I can get it defrosted by nightfall.
