Almost October. I got burned out on pumpkin ales several years ago but this is one I still seek out during the season. If I'm not mistaken pumpkin ales date back to Ben Franklin days.

Yes. Loves me some pumpkin ales. Schlafly = good stuff. I was very much into the style years past. Tomorrow, I'll focus on Samuel Adams Boston Lager, with Guinness Nitro stouts for backup.Almost October.

Excellent! My wife brought home a 4-pack of Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout. Love that woman.Yes. Loves me some pumpkin ales. Schlafly = good stuff. I was very much into the style years past. Tomorrow, I'll focus on Samuel Adams Boston Lager, with Guinness Nitro stouts for backup.
I got up a little late this morning, 7:00. Had some strong coffee and just got back inside the house. I enjoyed a cup of coffee poolside this morning as the sun started to come up.Everybody still asleep? No good mornings and weather reports from around our great land?
Been up a few hours. Smoker's going in the backyard for some ribs later today. Gorgeous out this morning for late September in Ohio. Nice and warm. Set up the smoker with p'jay bottoms and short sleeve shirt. I would say it's Indian Summer....but I guess we can't say that anymore 😥 just see Land O'Lakes butter.
Everybody have a good day no matter your weather.
Ben101er good luck, I'm praying for you and your back surgery! God bless you.
Warrior-cat isn't retirement great? God bless you.
Foot;ball finally here________GO CATS!!
UPDATE 20.20 vision. Both cataracts removed and vision has cleared. Next check up in 6 months.
Shawnee, thriled to hear of your miraculous recovery so far. Please continue to recover. You've given me a
great example because at this point my walking is behind yours. God bless you!
Cordmaker: thank you for showing such compassion in taking care of your neighbors. God bless!
This is how it's done.The Auburn War Eagle has a sharp, big foot. But the cats are quicker and meaner.
Speaking of trains. When I was a 1 year old, 1944, I rode the Orange Blossom Special with my mother from Clearwater, FL to Washington DC. My dad was assigned up there.
Oh how I missed this!
Pretty poor officiating. Defense is getting stronger.The Cats got screwed out of a TD. How in the hell could the refs miss that call, twice.

Good luck.Yes RRKat retirement is great. Just got back from trying out my new fishing kayak. Report is that it is a bit small and wobbly in the water until you center yourself but it does move through it smoothly with proper propulsion (paddling technique). Casting form the seated position was good, Still trying to figure out best way to anchor it down. More tryouts are necessary.
Todays' fishing report: Warriorcat 4---Largemouth Bass 0. Nothing big enough for pictures. About 2lbs was the largest.
I am using a 10lb bell anchor and it did well but, I did shift some weight to the other side of the kayak when retrieving.Good luck.
I remember my little brother in FL telling me about using an excessively heavy anchor on his fishing kayak. He nearly capsized his boat.
That was a terrible call.Defensive line is pretty good, but our secondary stinks.

Casting was not hard except getting turned in the direction I wanted to cast. With the kayak I can hit areas in these ponds that I don't normally hit.Been years since I've been in a kayak, but I would think they would be difficult to fish in...unless you're just drowning a worm. Imagine casting would be hard.
Back when the kids were little and we were within an hour (+ or -) three large lakes I had a fish and ski boat. Fish not biting...pack up the poles...crank it up...and have fun flying around the lake. But, my girl (it's always the girl) never thought we were going fast enough. She'd sit up front laughing and yelling 'faster Daddy'...meanwhile the throttle's at 100%.
Weee doggies!Edible...

UK got screwed out of a touchdown. The SEC officials suck. They had five minutes to see the ball was a foot into the end zone, yet they sucked it up and lied.
Auburn is a better football team than UK but not by much.
The SEC officials suck. They sold out.
