Got a late start because the product wasn't ready. Up side: Hoopy Bali Boy wasn't at the drop off point and I didn't have to kill him.

Got a brand new BBQ pit to break in tomorrow..
Got T-Bone
Got smaller steaks
got corn on the cob
got taters
got mushrooms
got other fixings
got beer.
That's my plan, and I'm going for it.

We're having the family over for Easter dinner tomorrow. I got a big fat ring of Kielbasa, sauerkraut, Polish mustard and cheese and crackers for snacks. Wife got a sliced ham.

I got "Toms's Stout" on tap ... but the way I'm goin' today, I may have to tap the Brown tomorrow, heh heh.

after almost 7 years the MiL moved out today took most of the day, I'm gimping around now & going to be hurting for days, but it's finished.

That's great Jim. Maybe I'll come down and see you now.

My MIL checked out from planet Earth. We had to plant her a few months ago. RIP.

Finally a real nice day here in western NY, I've been cleaning out my waterfall pond and redoing some of the stones

The wife has the youngest grandson (a little over a year old) out walking around.

I didn't brew anything today, but enjoyed a few while I was working outside on this beautiful day.

So anyway, yesterday at Easter ... "Tom's Basic Stout" was a hit.

My son really liked it. He said it was a nice stout with flavor, yet smooth and not overly heavy. He was right. No sense posting the recipe, just 2row base malt, a lb of black malt, and a moderate amount of nugget hops boiled in.

Love the waterfall, Berryman... Fantastic work!!!

Now this is fricking brilliant...

Well, a Perfect Storm of Good Things has occurred.

My niece is doing an externship in the next county over, and she's staying with my parents here in town, because it's free, and my parents have a big enough house, and hey, why not?

Well, Sunday was her birthday. And this coming Sunday is my daughter's birthday (yeah, she's exactly 51 weeks older than her cousin!), so my mom decided to have a little party for the two of them, and my daughter and her fiance are coming up for the weekend to enjoy Sunday's festivities. It's always great when we get a chance to have a mini-family reunion, and with these two cousins, it's like they were never apart, no matter how long it's been. We're really looking forward to it, and SWMBO can't wait to see her girl again; she misses her something awful, and no doubt there will be wedding discussions aplenty between the two of them.

I'll also have a chance to have her fiance taste the first test-batch of the Black IPA I made, and get his thoughts on it. I'm way less than thrilled about it, myself, and I'll actually be bottling Phase II of this on Saturday. Went right back to Square One on it, and it's a totally different recipe. Too bad he won't get a chance to sample the new one.

Even though I'm working Saturday, and I'm tired and fed up already on Wednesday, I'm looking forward to a good weekend.

Good on ya Dave.
I'd tell y'all about my drive home from Vancover Wa, but it's too gross... even for me. My eyes...

You, sir are a dirty old man. And I thought I was the only one

But, at my age, I'm like the dog that chases the train every day as it rolls past the house; I wouldn't have a clue as to what to do with it if I was to catch it.

Yah ..... plus my wife would put the fryin' pan to my head, and open the valves on my fermenters ...
