    I ate the other two Subway wraps shortly after the first one, then took a nap. Steak and cheese, and buffalo chicken with a lot of veggies. Highly recommended using the app, as it was me walking in and out of the store in seconds. I am still very full 7 hours later, will be hitting up the wraps again for sure!

    Lagunitas Born Yesterday. Still tasting great. Flavors of huge red grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, and pine hops; with moderate cracker, biscuit, light honeyed malts; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation/body; balanced bready/grainy malt and sticky/resinous hops in the mouthfeel. Crisp/drying finish and never astringent on bitterness. Amazing juicy, vibrant, dank, and earthy balanced hop profile; with a clean pale malt backbone. Refreshingly drinkable for an IPA. Simcoe, Citra, Mosaic hops this year. Used to have Equiniox for years, but I guess they couldn't find much this year. Still have a whole other pack left.

    Another one of my favorite classical inspired guitar solos.

    Just waiting for quarantine to be over so I can get back to work eventually :slight_smile: I use imgbb to host my pictures but you can use any of your choosing. After you upload the pictures, you will want to copy the image location and then when you're posting here, click on the picture icon which is directly to the right of the smiley face icon, and paste the image location and your picture should show up when you press Insert.

    Drink 3 quickly and then you just have to plan for a 12 pack. Problem solved.

    Don't spend top dollar on this. Half the Mosaic profile is missing. Mostly citrus and light mango. No berries, no sweet tropicals, fairly aggressive bitter finish a mish mash of two styles gone wrong. Azacca Crush was better.

    I will drink one for you. And doing well friend, just finished 8 days of work. I’ve got the next three days off so I’m enjoying the evening and having a few. How are you and the family?

    I was referring to the COVID induced reduced hours (Taco Burrito King, aka "The King of Tacos" was 24/7/365, now closed between 2-6 AM). The late night barflies have dried up, so the adjusted hours make sense, though I do have to plan accordingly.

    Beer makes me want tacos, Covid TBD (haven't been tested). I may have been exposed to Covid out West in February / March (tincluding a 300 + person Vegas beer festival in tight quarters on Leap Year Day) or back in Chicago, but thankfully I was/am asymptomatic if true.



    As a Webelos, our Pack stayed overnight on the USS Silversides when it was docked at Navy Pier in 1979. I have never seen the sub, or Navy Pier for that matter, ever since.

    For those of you interested in the other side of the story, you can still visit the German U-505 submarine at the most excellent Museum of Science and Industry.

    I had a couple boxes to send out, so I swung by a local brewery to grab some beers for them. First up was a collab, Skookum/Structures Farewell Transmission; nice enough for a murkbomb. Am now finishing up a Structures Plainsman a "rustic American Lager", very enjoyable.
