Another 6 kettles but who knows where June went?

Yes, it has been a while. What happened to June?

The "Band of Brewers" did get to bottle on June 6th which I missed due to business travel but I was able to join them to bottle on June 30.

Here are the cap codes for the current set of six kettles

A = Ayeska Alt Our version of Alaska Brewing' Alaskan Amber.. Awesome
G = Goibniu A Great rendition of a true Scottish Ale
P = Poon IPA Keith's version of a great IPA made in Boston. It's great, who needs Boston?
PP = Potbelly Pilsner A very drinkable beer. A nice fruity flavor with a nice dry bite
(blank) Sam's Dam Yummy ACBBD – A sweeter version of Stunner
SW = Summer Wheat It's a close resemblance to Owen O'leary's summer wheat

Summertime

Almost the end of July. Half way through the traditional summertime associated with the school calendar. I have taken some time off and have more planned.

Enjoy your summer!

I hope you have either taken sometime off or plan to do so as well.

thoughts on the run - 6

The recent heat spell seems to have left New England for now. It will be back, New England is know for changes in it's weather. Which also provides opportunities for frequent reminders on how to beat the heat!

running in the shade

One tip that works for my running is to run in the shade. Amazing to feel how cool it is as you move from direct sunlight into the shade! Too bad that I have yet to find a road completely shaded with stretches along each side of the road so you can switch from time to time.

Looking for such a shaded road also gives you a good excuse to go running!

I hope you all had a good Saturday!

Summer time, at the beach, in black tie

The summer without going to the beach is like a RI summer without Del's, not real!

The Improv Everywhere folks in NYC thought is would be a good idea to mix the beach with formal dress attire,  yes - black tie. And why not!

Here is the video summary. You can click through at the end to see the full write up of their event: Black Tie Beach.





Great fun!

It's official


It's official, originally uploaded by shersteve.

There is more snow coming down now here in Franklin.
Like Boston, Summer and Winter Streets intersect.
As it is the first day of winter, how appropriate!

"touches of nostalgia"


This part of August always has touches of nostalgia and tension in it. Already there are memories of the summer of 2008 in the scrapbook of my mind. Already the far off Olympics are underway. Already the days are noticeably shorter. Already the fiercest heat of summer is past. Already the list of things I was going to accomplish this summer has been revised by reality.

Most PodCampers are staying dry while Boston gets caught up in a summer shower.

Final count for today is 236. Lots of good buzz around.

New bird feeder


New bird feeder
Originally uploaded by shersteve
Franklin Agway was the source of this nice feeder for the smaller birds that visit our backyard. We used to have a wooden one but the squirrels got to it. This is supposed to be squirrel proof and carries a lifetime guarantee for replacement parts if the squirrel does chew on them.

The weather for Franklin today will be warm. I am looking forward to the weekend. The traditional start to summer.

What are your plans for the weekend?

The lilacs are blooming. We got this bush in a smaller form from my father-in-law and it has taken its time to grow. This is the second year it has bloomed.

My wife already wants it to have more blossoms.

All things in good time.
