[babalu87]

What the hell weather report are you looking at? What the hell are you doing? Reading the Farmer's Almanac or something?

11 AM - Rain
Noon - Rain
1 PM - Rain
2 PM - Cloudy
3 PM - Rain
4 PM - Rain
5 PM - Rain
6 PM - Rain

So it's going to be mostly sunny from 2:15-2:18?

He cut Wilburs spleen out

 

[Cape Brewing]

Boston.com... Saturday - rain all day
weather.com... Saturday - rain all day
accuweather.com... Saturday - rain all day except at 2:00

I think he DID cut out the spleen... he danced around it in his skin tight pink halter top and daisy dukes, chanted a little bit like a witch doctor, looked at the blood pattern the spleen left and just declared... "MOSTLY SUNNY!!!"



Jokin' aside Paul... I would have that tent company on speed dial.

A tent and a few extra beers and the rain becomes irrelevant really quickly.

 

[babalu87]

Where are you and FW having lunch?

 

[Cape Brewing]

I had to bag on him... my boss dropped a noon meeting on my calendar this morning. I'm going through a bunch of stuff now while I goof on Paul.

I think he might be hitting Kinsale.... it's the best beer-bar near where he's at.

I bet if it was KB the slim dark haired lawyer you wouldnt have bagged

 

[Cape Brewing]

whatever... I've bagged on her like four times in the last three weeks. Work's been brutal.

(and I'm not sure I like what you're implying there Maverick)

All I can say is that in May on winemaking/bottling day, the forecast was for rain, and it did rain all around Boston, but at Paul's it only rained for 5 or 10 minutes at most.

Paul has powers...

[JustMrWill]

it will be dry under the canopies...sheesh.

[Sumo]

I could careless about the weather. Its all about the beer, and eating swine.

 

[paulthenurse]

Just ignore Babs and his Barry Gibb-like pal CapeBrewing. If excuses were dynamite those two turds couldn't blow their noses.

The weather will be what it will be. The Nancy's will hide at home. The rest of us will have fun

 

[babalu87]

Look for me here if you were expecting me

I'll give a wave

You should charter him sometime PTN

Paul, How did the Utopia clone come out? Did you try it yet? Is the guy who hosted going to be at your place? You know the one with the dog who acts like Allan Harper from two and a half men. I can't rememberr his name.

 

[paulthenurse]

You know the one with the dog who acts like Allan Harper from two and a half men. I can't rememberr his name.

I don't get the reference, I don' watch much TV other than sports, but his name is Chris, known here as Yeager. But yes, he will be here and yes we will have some of the Utopia on hand for sampling.

BTW, if the 2 1/2 men reference was somehow insulting, demeaning and unkind would you please explain it so that I can use it?

PTN

 

[PaulTheOriginal]

Watch a single episode of 2 and 1/2 Men - after 5 seconds you'll see the connection <quite possibly less than 5 seconds>. No one has ever seen Jon Cryer and Chris in the same room.

PTO!

How you doin' Bro! You going to be at the shop tonight?

So Bertha is home and is fired up now. We did a LOT of work on her and she is looking GOOD! (Lets face it, it's a f'ing oil tank, it looks lile a pile of crap in the yard but if you can see beyond the surface imperfections she's a beaut! Maybe that's why I like her so much, she reminds me of me.) I started a fire in her to burn off any residual oil on the metal from any drilling and cutting we did, We built a new firebox, lowered it and raised up the smokestack. The draft is unbelievable! I bet she's at over 500*F inside the cooking chamber. That's obviously too hot to cook with but again, my goal is to cook of any remaining volatiles. There was a bit of oil on the surface of the firebox and it's gone already. New dampers, new stainless smokestack, new door, new handles and latches. She's like a whole new girl!

Wilbur is ready, he's going into a brine sometime this afternoon.

Crap, it's 11:30! I gotta go, tons of chores to do.

PTN

 

[PaulTheOriginal]

Can't make the shop tonight - going out for a few chores post work and then dinner with the Mrs. I'll try to make Masstoberfest and Joos' tasting, both, tomorrow afternoon; depends on how busy the shop is as I'm filling in for Kemo Sabe.

Try the beer in the left tap and let me know what you think, please.

Paul

 

[the_bird]

Paulie Walnuts, whatcho want the_Family and I to bring down to this little shindig? I'll probably lug down a keg, either the Taddy Porter or the Special Bitter ("Michael Bishop's Finger").

Food-wise, I do a pretty kick-ass mussels-and andouille dish, but I know the standards for seafood are a big higher on the eastern side of the state. We/I also make a nice little Thai-noodle salad.

 

[paulthenurse]

Jay, I wouldn't dream of saying 'bring this' or 'don't bring that.' Anything anyone brings will be welcome and enjoyed by all. I'm going to make a macaroni salad and the hog. (Who, BTW, is going into the brine as soon as I finish this.) I'll have kegs of porter, amber and Berliner Weisse and Belgian.

I just got back from Home Depot where I picked up a 20 X 30 foot tarp and some 2X 4's. Drunken and I will make a canopy tonight.

The only thing I would suggest is if you guys have any of those folding/collapsable chairs you might want to bring it, I doubt I have enough chairs for everyone.

PTN

 

[Cape Brewing]

I would have brought some Duchesse tomorrow but Babalu and I drank all four bottles at the Pats tailgate last weekend.

 

[paulthenurse]

You raised my hopes when you said you had other plans. I suppose now you're coming after all?



Uhhh, Hey everyone. Hey guys! HEY!!! Can I have everyones attention for a moment.....


I'm sorry but despite what I told all of you, CapeBrewing and Bab's DO appear to be coming.


Yes, I know, I feel the same way, but....

Oh, c'mon be nice...

Well, I can't exactly uninvite them so can everyone just PLEASE try to be nice. Hey, maybe we'll get lucky and they'll leave early.

PT

 

[Bulls Beers]

Paul, Have a great day tomorrow. I hope the pig is delicious..

 

[paulthenurse]

B, You're not coming????? You HAVE to come. You've been to every one of these things. It won't be the same without you. I barely got over JL not making the last one and I only did because he's coming tomorrow.....

PTN

 

[paulthenurse]

And to everyone else, the pig is on his (Actually her)way to becoming pork. Just put her on the heat.

Soon!!!!

PTN

 

[Melana]

It's looking like Leah and I will make a short visit...

 

[Cape Brewing]

I'm an absolute dead lock without a doubt maybe.

We're not getting a babysitter for the boys and we have about nine other things to do so our game plan is to squeeze a visit to the casa de PTN in the middle of it somewhere but it'll be the four of us and if it is pouring rain for the time slot we were going to swing through, I'm not 100% sure we would pull it off. Courtney and I would be totally cool with but it's not as easy with a 2 and a 3 year old.

Not raining right now so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

 

[the_bird]

"Daddy, is the pig already dead?"
"Yes, dear, it's already cooking"
"Grrr...."
"What, did you want to see them kill it?"
"YES!!"

Not sure how I'm supposed to feel about this...

 

[Bulls Beers]

It sucks...I loooove your parties. My wife has a couple of friends in from out of town..There doing the shopping thing all day. She was taking my 3 year old with her but he's pretty sick. She was gonna take him anyways( she knows how much I like your parties), but they are going to the wrenthem outlets. I cant have him outside all day in the rain with a fever.

Have a great day.

 

[the_bird]

I'm bringing down the keg of the bitter, but I'm not in love with this beer at all. I just can't seem to get a simple bitter/special bitter dialed in right. I'll dig up my notes, but I'd like some feedback, it just doesn't taste quite... just not where I think it should be.

 

[paulthenurse]

I bought a 20 x 30 foot tarp and a bunch of 2 x4s yesterday. I'm sitting in line at Dunkins right now, as soon as I get home Drunken and I are going to set that up I have to open up the BBQ to see how Wilbur is doing. I got up at 3:30 and Drunky got up at 6 to feed the Fire.
