Jumpin' At The Woodside

Ordered the new machine online at Lowe's yesterday afternoon and it was delivered this morning even in the 3.5 inches of snow we got! Got a load going now. It's a little louder than the old machine, but as long as it washes clothes that's OK by me. Got snow!

Happy Friday! Flakes are falling here this evening. They're calling for 1-3 inches overnight. Nothing compared to up north, but any amount of snowfall is big news in the south. Tonight's brew a Boulder Beer Company's Mojo IPA , a previously featured beer from last summer, but I thought something from Colorado would be fitting as the Winter Olympics kick off this evening. You may think I should have gone with a Canadian brew to go along with the current Olympic site, but nah I'm for the good ol' USA! Go Lindsey, Shaun and all the rest! Last Saturday, I participated in the Plaza Midwood Bar Crawl that took me to one spot called the Thirsty Beaver Saloon . The Beaver is a self-dubbed "honky tonk," which apparently means they serve beer in cans only. Tallboy PBRs were a popular choice - I had a Yuengling . Other significant features of this definitive dive bar included a TV with Hee Haw reruns and a big buck-toothed beaver painted on the side of the building....

Happy Friday, albeit a wet one! No snow here just rain and lots of it. Tonight's brew a left-over from the 2009 series Sierra Nevada - Harvest Ale . Traditionally a fall brew, the Harvest Ale is still tasty on a cold and damp night. Last Friday's snow and ice lasted all weekend and was one of those times the trip to the store beforehand was actually a good call! I will say that when I made my trip to the grocery store last Thursday it was out of need and not due to "weather hysteria." Stay warm and dry, and Go Saints! - Salud!
