Damn!! what kind of snake is that?

It's like a banded water snake or something like that. Some boys killed one recently, thinking it was a cottonmouth...similar size and markings, but it's not. But you have to be REALLY close to be sure...shape of head, round pupils instead of slits. I wouldn't, but I could see this guy had his mouth full!

Took my boy fishing today for an hour or so. He wasn't the only one that caught a catfish.

Now that is just.... wrong.

That sucks. I always chug a beer or two before scouts... glad I did on Tuesday. Thought I was going on a hike which turned out to be us plucking an invasive plant out of a park.

Boy scouts; normally I just hang in the back and chat with other bored parents or (even worse) work.

Today, decided to drop the boy, come back and do contract work while having a beer before the return trip to pick him up. Tried DrunkleJon's Amber Bock, and now onto a Rye of the Tiger before putting the kids to bed.
 
This after showing my motorcycle a little love, oil change and such(I would confuse some of you if I said bike,LOL) Not that I wasn't having a couple HBs while taking care of buisiness:rockin:

Awesome, care to share the recipe?

Here ya go. I wound up overshooting my efficiency a bit, so it had to age a bit to get the boozy flavor to mellow out. The roasted wheat was just wheat malt that I toasted in the toaster oven.

My second to last bottle of Rye Saison. Brewed it almost 10 months ago.

Pretty damn tasty if I say so myself. Going to brew it again on Saturday morning.

Where did you go fishing?

There's a small lake in our neighborhood, right across the street from our house. There's a shallow spillway pond with some catfish in it. In the lake itself are some bass, crappie, maybe brim. Didn't have luck up there today, but I didn't have a small spinner bait. That has been popular in the past. If you want a place to practice your casting, nobody really ever bothers anyone there.

What?! Yes I would! Shoot me an email and lemme know. Is it supposed private pond/lake. I have a crappie jig and something supposedly great for catfish and bass. I have some worms too.
 
Snoqualmie Falls Brewing Co. Spring Fever Grand Cru. IMHO this is a fairly bland beer that I won't be buying again but at $3.50 for a bomber I won't complain too much. It's just that neither the spice additions, hops, nor the yeast really contributes to much flavor.
