Working Hop in The City @ Schlafly Tap Room on Locust St. here in St.Louis,MO. I'll be serving beer all day and drinking beer all day! It's going to be awesome! 44 diffident beers to choose from, I'm gonna get tanked! [emoji482]
 
Thinking of brewing! I stockpiled 30 gal of different beers I made last winter for consumption this past summer. Been eagerly awaiting fall to start brewing again. Been eyeballing these pumpkin spice kits and even bought a new brew pot from spike. Just the other day my only mode of transportation took a nose drive and I racked up a nice debt that is going to keep me from brewing for possibly several months😢. So here I sit reading all your stories, living vicariously through those brewing, wishing it was me.
 
sitting in Williams Brice stadium watching the USC Gamecocks take on the ECU Pirates!

And drinking a few homebrews...
 
I brewed Friday night. Spent the rest of the weekend hanging with the kids cause wifey is out of town. Feel like I ran a marathon... and I didn't.
 
I had an e-mail conversation with the legendary Ron Robinson. He's selling me the only remaining set of his Crosman model 160 Pellgun scope mounts left anywhere that I can find. He won championships with a Crosman 160 & a Weaver V22 scope like mine. He was so impressed with the couple pics I sent him, that he decided to sell me the last matte aluminum set of mounts left in his personal parts stash! I paypal'd him yesterday. Can't wait for them to get here so I can finish my model 160resto I posted videos on in the forum below. I'm flattered that he liked my gun enough to sell them to me! :ban:
Here's a shot of me eyeballin' the Weaver V22-A scope from the 70's on my 1955-56 variant one model 160;
 
I will definitely be Moose hunting. Whether or not I do any Moose shooting is another matter all together.

Wish me luck.
 
I'll be at a high school football game on Friday night because my daughter cheers. Then to Ole Miss to see if University of Memphis can beat them for a second straight year on Saturday. Sunday is the drive back from Oxford, to the first of my son's baseball games, to a trampoline "park" for a birthday party, and back to the fields for the second game of the Sunday little league double header.

Very much the same. High school game tonight and USC Gamecocks vs Texas A&M tomorrow.
 
Beautifying a wall in the living room and making a barn door sliding door going into the bedroom. This way the living room matches my 1bbll SS Conicals the wife insisted should be on display once she saw them.

Drywall. Ugh. Never again. Just a small section but it is still a PITA. At least it is a good excuse to drink beer. And to keep it based in the forum, I tested my Pilsner after I did the last seam taping. It came in at 1.006, bone dry.
 
Its not drywall its galvanized roofing the old timey wavy tin you see on barns. Its way worse than drywall. The edges cut like razor blades, slivers of metal all over me. Its a real PITA to work with.
 
That looks sweet!

I am still in recovery mode from a pulled back muscle. Dang near went to the ER 4 nights ago for morphine the pain was so bad. I was swearing out loud most of the night it hurt so bad. Might simmer some beets and make beet pickles. I can do 90% of that while sitting!
 
Moose hunting... again. Got skunked last weekend. Saw a bunch of animals but couldn't get close enough to seal the deal.
