Work-from-home motor pool guy for Secret Service?
He buys them at police auctions then tries to repair and sell them before he racks up enough parking tickets that the city tows them. It's nonstop entertainment over there, especially when the city shows up every 18 months or so with a parade of flat beds and all hell breaks loose.

Nice guy, just doesn't get along with the city.

I get those at Aldi, too. Really nice beer, especially for the price.

I made some Chinese rice wine and was looking to do something with it when I'm not in the mood for the really sweet aperitif or dessert drink. I read that gin could be used as a substitute for it in cooking (sounds weird to me!) so decided to try making a cocktail. 1 part Bombay dry gin, 2 parts seltzer, 3 parts HM Chinese rice wine. I'm surprised at how much I like this. Sweet and tart are subdued, hint of juniper, floral notes. I'll have another! Now I just have to come up with a name.

First taste of some homemade ficocello. Didn't turn out too bad.

I'm running out of things to do with all these damned figs.
I love figs. You can ship me some..🤣

This Tavour 10%er is awesome. Very citrus and drier then the usual pulp fest tipa.

Making room for a potential brewery expansion. Wife said to wait for our weight lifting son before pushing up the stairs to house. Ha! Old man still has a few tricks up his sleeves. Although a little liquid courage never hurts....and an AED standing by! 😉

Welp, the stiff back kicked in so done for the day and simply seeking pain killers. HB 8%Hazy with extra oxygen. 😉

Side question. So going Stainless fermenters but need temp control in both the heat and cold. Also want to add an ability to dump trub and add oxygen free dry hopping. Anyone out there have a setup like this they're very happy with?
