    Been a little minute since I've been on here, hope everyone is doing well. It's after 1am here, so I reckon that qualifies as a new thread.

    Was stuck at my house today, as the Honolulu Marathon was going on and it goes by the entrance to my neighborhood. All the roads are blocked off or contra flowed, which causes huge backups. Figured since I was stuck at home, I'd smoke a couple shoulders. Enjoyed a new local tropical IPA from Maui Brewing.

    Later in the afternoon, I took my daughter to the beach for a quick little dip, while we waited for the shoulder to do it's thing. It was super nice out. One of the first days we've had without rain in a little while.

    14 hours later (just a few minutes ago), I shredded it all, while enjoying a '16 BCBS. And yes, I sneaked a couple pieces too.

    Saturday, I stopped by one of the newer breweries in town, Beer Lab HI. They are quickly becoming my favorite local brewery. Most of their beers are one offs, but if they are a favorite, they will brew it again. This was the Nimbus 2000 NE Style DIPA, outstanding. Sent a crowler to my cousin in NC.

    This was the Coyne & Uni-Weiss-ity Berliner. Another great beer here. Being from Charleston, it reminded me a lot of what Westbrook brews. You could slap a Westbrook label on it and nobody would know the difference. It really took me back home.

    Well, hope everybody's staying warm on the mainland!

    Okole maluna y'all!

    Hi you all! I set my alarm to wake up for the snow. We had a little. This beer has a touch of diacetyl in it this year that has smoothed over the spice form the hops that I remember . It also is showing me a touch of lemony fruitiness.

    Not really a fan of the Voice or 'Real' TV at all, but this is good. Mary Sarah sings well.

    Our building's Xmas party is this evening, then our friend will be singing and hawking his cd at an open mic tonight. Until then, more Christmas cards!

    Jr has a field trip to the museum today, the Mrs is a chaperone, so I'm going to take the daughter and meet up with his class shortly. Need one of these for surviving Monday morning Chicago traffic.

    I'm sure the below video is something anybody from the Chicago area remembers.

    Monday needs a little help after spending a couple of hours cleaning up the snow from yesterday's storm. The temperature is dropping and things are starting to freeze over. I hear the county plow rumbling by now which means another trip with the tractor to clear the bottom of the driveway.:angry:

    This OCT/14 bottle is tasting like black magic. It's smooth bourbon loaded with vanilla and oak. Some nice heat still hanging around in the finish and much welcome on this cold morning. Have a great day/week!

    Cuvée des Trolls. I once owned the 50cl proper glass, which slipped in my hands, a shame. Had to buy this one again, half the size.

    Rince cochon rouge (so flavored with berries)

    ... Listening to this and raising my glass to the older (Wiser, actually) people who enjoyed those 60s tunes I immensely enjoy, too.

    A Celebration after cleaning up the mess at the bottom of the driveway from when the plow came through. Filled the bird feeders while I was outside, time to park it in the easy chair for some mindless TV time. I missed out on the the free glass offer so this will have to do!
