The Dysfunctional-Palooza Obnoxious Masshole BS Thread

[Closet Fermenter]

Today I did a 10 mile ride on a rail trail to test the ripped rotator and it went fine, with a few moments of rethinking how I load bikes on the CRV bike rack. But lawdy it was sweltering out there and we were home before noon. Be careful out there folks.

Yes it is sweltering today; the only exercise that I am doing is 12oz. curls!

The inevitable payback for our week on the Cape, I had to get to weed whacking and cultivating gardens and mowing the "lawn" which is sporting the lovely fluorescent green of fresh crabgrass Got started at 10, finished at 5, needed a long shower to get all the dust and dirt off me. Temporarily lost 8 pounds of water/beer in the offing, I'm putting that back in right now

I don’t do yard work on Sundays, but after church, I am prepping for tomorrow’s work with multiple pints of Blonde Ale & Irish Dry Stout!

Heading your way.

 

[day_trippr]

Missed us for a change. It followed the Pike to the harbor and is now well out to sea...

I apparently bought a house in the sweet spot. You guys in MA get more snow in the winter than I do. And Beryl passed us by without a drop.

I probably jinxed myself…

You know it!

We're under attack again!

It'll be a minor miracle if we don't lose power tonight...

Apparently last night until 8:30pm we were under a tornado warning (not watch) and my phone never bleeped, blorped, buzzed or burped at me.
Went through New Salem, pretty North of me.

The sky did look "weird" yellow/greenish glow.
[Edit: North of me in Montague]

 

[homebeerbrewer]

The sky over my house was weird yesterday evening.

 

[day_trippr]

fwiw there were towns not far from our place up in the NH Whites that got creamed last night.
We got whaled pretty good yesterday but at that we didn't get the worst of the storm.
Not sure we'll be as lucky tonight

PTN's thread seems to have devolved into a windging (brit/aus slang, not misspelling) version of the weather channel. & I recall we have had this discussion before.

I love dramatic weather, but most of these T storms miss my location. All I can say its;

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Short and powerfully sweet here compared to yesterday. A lot of trees snapping and flying by the window. Radar looked worse yesterday but I think today I was just in the right spot. Had about 3" rain in 20 minutes.

Did the neighborly thing and checked out the window to see if it was just I without power or all of us. Yay! Everyone down!

And a constant complaint. Why cant storms take down the 99% rotten trees instead of the healthy ones?

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Yesterday's radar was impressive and boring. I road the line all the way home from Nashua

There's a difference between your limey windging and just discussing what's all around us mainlanders.
Also, if I'm the only one brewing beer around here, what does that leave for the rest of you to talk about anyway?

Cheers!

 

[homebeerbrewer]

Well, if you wanna talk about brewing, there’s a website called HomeBrewTalk….

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

It's turned all political.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

And apparently the weather too.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

Aaaannnnd, let’s get back on topic. Are the Masstobefest shenanigans happening this year?

@paulthenurse, looking at you.

 

[day_trippr]

Nah. There's a narrow place where "politics happen" here, but otherwise it's pretty smooth for a public forum.
Outside of HBT...let's say compartmentalization really isn't that hard for grown-ups. I rarely talk politics, usually just with my kids

Cheers!

Last thing I “brewed” was limoncello.
Can’t lift anything until after a shoulder replacement.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Try a limonviolin then.

I brew 10 gallons pretty much every other week, but figured everyone here was tired of hearing about it.

That sounds like a pain in many ways, hope you recover soon.

Kewel.
It's about 5 miles up Rte 9 from the Florence Pie Bar, of course.

 

[balrog]

And in other news out here in the hinterlands, apparently I have a new flavor with which I must contend in my brewing....

About an hour and a half south of me.
