Sipping a go to IPA this evening. Founders All Day IPA is tasty and perfect on a cool breezy evening.

I see Terry Bradshaw is the latest in a long line of athletes, rock stars & entertainers to get into the Whiskey & Tequila business. It doesn't say who the distilley is for his Bourbon, only the bottler.

Out first thing to satisfy my graving for a Scooter's Shooter. Facing into the east, my iPhone camera has a tough time getting autoexposure correct with dark colors & all the white hair. As troublesome as auto word fill. Worth - Walden 15X Westerner.

Neither hat nor drink are of the the highest quality. However, on an 88 degree farenheit afternoon with the heat index well into the 90s lighter drinks are a must. The hat is a Eddie Bauer Stetson collaboration. I assume it is just a dune with a different band, but I have not done any research.

Pitter Patter Porter from Clock House Brewey. Fairly light in the porter continuum but quite nice.

Scooters shooters and outside beer sounds good to me!

Home early evening I was wandering the yard with my dog as I sipped a Surley Delicious. Excellent!

My dog and I are solo tonight. I ordered Uber Eats for the first time. Easy and not really expensive, IMO. I got a Saturday Special from a local eatery (sirloin, salad, breaded mushrooms and mashed potatoes) delivered. In it's entirety it was a bit more than a Jackson and then I added a tip. My dog and I shared the meal and really enjoyed it. Not cooking and different food is a treat. I sipped a Guinness Stout to accompany the medium rare beef. Delicious pairing. I will definitely use Uber Eats for a treat in the future.

Cheers this evening, Eric -

But you still look good, even without a mouth!

LOL...thank you Rick. When you comb a long mustache down instead of brushing it to the sides, it becomes a "flavor savor".

Out this evening seeing the frost and a bit of the remaining snow reminds of the snow forecast for tomorrow. I am sipping a new for me IPA, Stone Brewing Company, Go To IPA. This beer has an assertive evergreen taste and just the right amount of bitterness. If I had a chance to speak to the master brewer I would suggest a some more malt to smooth the edges. In comparison, a Founders All Day IPA has a bitter taste it trails off to a piney/grapefruit taste. No preference tonight, just different.

A cooler day today calls for some 4Hands Brewing Co Cast Iron Brown Ale, with the Stetson Nevadan No.1Q.

I’ve been inside Loge Mfg. in S Pittsburgh, TN and that ale looks about like the color of the cast iron pans coming off the line there.

A bit of snow removal this evening after arriving home. I will have some big effort coming in the morning. We recieved 7.5" of snow today. My dog and I are doing a walkabout while a sip a sip a Surley Delicious IPA. Light and grapefruit seemed like the correct beer given the evening and the expectant early morning effort .

Cheers this snowy October evening, Eric -

It was a structural engineering class. Both the Fitz which was owned by Bethlehem Steel & the Edgar B. Speer which was owned by US Steel in part, were riveted hulls instead of welded hulls. The Fitz would have still sunk taking on the amount of water thru the hatches that it did, but it would have never broken apart & sunk as quickly as it did if it was a welded hull.

Although it never had a mishap the Speer was oddly drydocked just a few short yrs after the breakup of the Fitz. It sat in drydock for some yrs before being sold for scrap value, never to be used again.

Well, at least Mr Lightfoot got a gold record out of the disaster.

Enjoy your preferred weather sir. We live in different neighborhoods. It is usual in mine that we start skiing as Halloween nears. I am the person that loves the snowy winters. I live in the right neighborhood for me. We have seasons, albeit some very short, have plenty of water, plenty of space/wooded space, plenty of undeveloped land and practice social distance, even pre-pandemic, from each other. I prefer my "neighborhood" choice.

Today's snow is a couple of weeks early. I like it. My "Minnesota neighbors" are majority not as inclined as I am.
