What are you doing instead of brewing this weekend?

[unionrdr]

Was outside shooting video while working on the car. Took over an hour for Movie Maker to save it. And after all that, come back here to find I won the Inkbird contest! An ITC 1000 will soon be mine! HOORAH! Now if I'd just had some of those beers in the fridge...

 

[BrooklynTom]

My wife got us VIP tickets to the NYC Craft Beer Festival for Saturday evening. 75 different breweries each with 2 samples, so 150 beers to taste......

 

[unionrdr]

Blaaarf, unquote. When I get my new hip installed, maybe I can finally go to one of those?

 

[schematix]

Trying to finish my basement renovation project so I can start brewing again. Already this (long) weekend I hung a door, caulked 2 doors, painted the ceiling, primed the walls, plus did various other smaller projects. Tomorrow I am going to put on 2 coats of the main wall color . Then next weekend i'm going to put up crown moulding around the whole room, cut and install the door casing, replace electrical outlets and faceplates and then rip up the carpet so i can install a few new tack strips... the list goes on.

Kegging, paving, commenting on drafts of student papers.

Leaving my job in Washington state and moving to Georgia. Ain't no thang.

Just in time for the sweat to start in earnest!

Naw, that ain't sweat! That's just condensation on you from you coming out of that nice, cool, air conditioned building!..LOL Pretty awesome when the humidty matches the temp! said with tongue firmly planted in cheek..sarcasm..hehehehe..

I am sure this is partially in jest but that crap happens in Dubai. Leave a 72 f, 65% humidity hotel for 115 f, 95% humidity outside and you are instantly wet head to toe before you have a chance to sweat. I truly hate that place (and Basra, Iraq).

Did some yard work, since the previous homeowners did such a terrible job of caring for the lawn. Seed and fertilizer down, a bunch of plants we don't want removed, bushes trimmed down, waiting for the rain to get here. Fermenter is bubbling away with a saison, next weekend I'll do a honey blonde and another 2 weeks from then I'll get an ipa going so there's 3 kegs for my son's second birthday party. Since I found a 12 pack of honey saison I made last spring hiding in the basement, I've got a delicious homebrew in hand and playing cars with my boy.

Getting everything in order for the bees I have coming Monday or Tuesday...

Knocked out this toolbox.

And leveled and set my hive body.

Well In got to go to home depot and buy materials for roofing the house, I am trying to limit the trips back to home depot for all the crap I forget. Thank God it will be 2 more weeks before I start!

 

[BrooklynTom]

Bringing 2 of my motorcycles in for full service, (oil, cables, brakes, valve adjustment, etc...)

If you are doing the work yourself, may God have mercy on your back...and knees...and sanity.

Not many jobs at home I would rather do less than a new roof. I have done (or partially done) three and that is one miserable job.

 

[Onkel_Udo]

I am going to try to sneak a 30 mash in but...

Finally finishing the frankenvan manual tranny conversion and hopefully doing a limited test drive.

Tearing down my first Volvo "white block" motor to asses what parts it needs before sending it to an idiot friend in Alabama who drove his with a blown head gasket until it turned the head into a pretzel. Never delved into this modern a motor before (co-designed with Porsche in the early 1990's) and boy did they make things needlessly complex.

Then helping the neighbors "skunk-proof" their fence after their dog got sprayed in their own yard. Little varmints are terrorizing the neighborhood.

 

[CA_Mouse]

Finishing my Keezer (only took me 2 years to get around to it). :smack:

 

[kadozen]

Good friend of mines daughter is turning three later today. Sunday is my daughters 2nd birthday. So it's going to be a weekend of nothing but screaming children and sugar. Might sneak my friend a few homebrews though.

 

[jtratcliff]

SWMBO's birthday, daughter's birthday, son's soccer game, picking sink, toilet, light fixtures for new construction...

I haven't brewed in so long, I have no pipeline at all

I think I have 3 bottles of my Christmas Ale, tucked away somewhere, and 3 750ml bottles of apfelwein... That's it! Nothing else!

Not even the ingredients on hand to make anything

I'm dry I tells ya... I'm dry...

 

[Funkychef]

Road trip and lots of Mountain biking.

Feel your pain, bruh. Got one turning 10 today, and after having a couple screaming, giggly ones spend the night last night, we're having the party for a whole mess more of them in the backyard today, I plan on some solitude in the man cave this evening.

 

[schematix]

70' of crown moulding in the basement. Nail holes all filled and upper and lower edge caulked. Need to do some touch up painting but that's for another non-brewing weekend.

 

[CA_Mouse]

Finished my collar. Just need to put the 3 tap regulator and kegs in it now!

 

[SeraW]

If I posted the word, "Concert," every time I did as such on a weekend instead of brewing, that'd be all I ever write.

 

[tracyk]

Observing the universe to the break of dawn through a 36" telescope!

 

[signpost]

Choir tour through Ohio. But I'll be bottling 2 batches, brewing at least one, building a trellis, and planting my hops when I get home later this week.

 

[slym2none]

Cosmic pimping, super-acidulated style.

 

[smurfjuice]

Plowing snow ...

 

[Onkel_Udo]

That's awesome!! As a once upon a time technician I love to read about your Frankenstein race cars. Only difference with what I went to school for and did for so many years is your racers have gas and plugs. Mine were coal haulers putting out 2000 hp and 3000 lbs of torque on a little Cummins B series engine with big boost and water injection.
Keep up the good work and best of luck in your adventures

The Racevan with more manual transmission races this weekend...and the theme is "Trouble with Tribbles" with a Pyrenese Collie mix playing a Tribble and all of us in red shirts.

[Onkel_Udo]

Picking this up...might become a LeMons race car but initially will be an alternate daily driver after repairing the passenger floor pan, doing the required front suspension mods and disc brake conversion...oh, and putting it all back together.

Ignore the neighbor admiring the suicide doors.

 

[ChelisHubby]
