Brew Day, Braun, Snow,

WOW - the trees are magnificent today. Officially (since I'm the NOAA Columbus official) Columbus had 2.0 inches of snow and 0.2 inches of precipitation which seems weird because that is the default amount for water/snow. Another observer in Lake Mills sent a photo to me of their 8 inches!! NOT ONE OF THOSE PHOTOS! dirty minds!

The BIG news in Wisconsin is Ryan Braun getting a NOT GUILTY vote in his PED case and I think ESPN is going to catch a lot of shit for leaking the whole mess. Remember when the MLB union negotiated their latest contract the random drug testing was in there WITH THE GUARANTEE they any findings would never ever become public.

Geez - guess that didn't work and Braun was dragged over hot coals with GUILTY unless proven innocent. And since no one in history had ever successfully won an appeal - automatically guilty. But not this time. (I won't say I told you so).

I had a rough day yesterday.

For most people they go through life in a pretty regimented style. They have 5 day work weeks, work 8 hours a day and everything revolves around work.

What many people find is when they take that regime away life sort of changes in more ways then you thought. NOT working sounds great and it is for the most part but what next???? All of a sudden you are not as . . . important.

I find that I always have a list in my head of things that have to be done. Sunday nights I sort of draw up a schedule, Monday I do this Tuesday I do that Friday is Brew Day and since my photography business is keeping me somewhat "busy" it works out nice.

Yesterday was suppose to be jury duty day but it was canceled. All of a sudden I had an . . off day. A day with nothing planned. I've had a few of these (less then you would think) and every time it's actually depressing. You don't want to sit around watching TV all day wasting your life.

So anybody that finds themselves with no regiment in his future REALLY, get a hobby, get something you can do with your time to make you feel you are accomplishing something. Otherwise you will go NUTS!!

Brew day - I'm brewing a Kentucky Common a once-popular style of ale from the area in and around Louisville, Kentucky, it's rarely brewed commercially today. Being cheaper than imported beers, it was popular among the working class around the turn of the century . . . last century.

I'm brewing it as a test for some Civil War reeanactors who were looking for Civil War beer. Civil War beer was actually Bud, Miller and the likes but this seems like it would taste a little better . . . well . . . poop would taste better but . . . not that I have tasted poop . . .just sayin'.

OK - forgot to actually hit POST! so it's a little late. OH - I took an online spelling test. I average 6 correct words per minute. I think I did something wrong. They should give a test on typing AND correcting.
