Joe's Weekend Round Up 3.0
First, I hope everybody had a nice Easter. I had lamb. I love eating baby sheep on Easter.
Anyway, it's time for Joe's round up (should there be a hyphen between round and up?):
I learned this week:
1) Lamb is a baby sheep, and done right can be goooood eating.
2) Fire pits, good company, and beer? That's the good life as far as I am concerned.
3) There is more to homebrewing that I thought. I... well, it looks rather complex, but something I might just try doing.
4) I want a dog.
5) I can be civil if I really have to... This weekend I had to spend a few hours with Em's father in the same space. I hate that guy, but I mustered enough of the "better person" mentality to be civil and nice. That took a lot, let me tell you. I also hate that guy. Have I mentioned that?
6) Children and cornhole toss don't mix.... Em kept on grabbing the bags and throwing them, kids kept on stepping on the game boards, and well, kids again kept on running in the way. Have you ever played cornhole toss? A great, great game to play drinking in the backyard.
7) Bubbles? Why bubbles? It appears that you can buy little kids all the greatest shit in the world, but they just want the simple $1.00 of bubbles. And, the real fun is watching the little toddler try to blow them. She'd... well, miss... and then eat the stick like a lollipop and then try to share. I don't do bubble wands. BUT, she was insistent in trying to get me to taste the bubble soap.
8) Toddlers want to play catch at 8:00 in the morning even though their Uncle's haven't had coffee and wants to stand outside pondering the world... They will scream: "Joe! JJJJJJJJJJJOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Catch?" over and over and over and over and over and over and over... Makes for a shitty cup of coffee. :)
9) My cooler holds a shitload of beer... Perfect for all the beer drinking friends I have. I thank God for that impulse buy at Sams Club last fall when I thought, "Holy shit! Look at the size of that cooler! Who would buy something that unnecessary???" So, I bought it.
10) Toddlers shouldn't help do yard work. They have a tendency to eat dirt.
11) "Gimme! Gimme!" -- Em's new favorite phrase. It's annoying especially when she wants my stuff. She always wants my stuff. I want my stuff. We fight over my stuff. She wins my stuff. The price of peace and quiet.
12) After 4 beers, I don't care what I drink anymore.
13) I hate school.
That's about it! Have a great day and drink beer.

Home brewing's not nearly as complicated as it seems. It's just really time consuming because you have to sterilize the living bejeezus out of everything. If you want I can ask my dad to give you a call/email?
Well, Kathy has some beer snob friends that were here this weekend. She knows how to do it, has the equipment, and we have the space. She's thinking about setting up the brewery in the garage and we would work on it together. She specializes in dopplebocks. So, if we work out an agreement (cus, based on the way the job search is going...I will have the time) we will start this summer. So, I just might take your father up on that e-mail when the time is right. "Apple Beer" might just find fruitation after all. Have I ever mentioned "Apple Beer" to you?
