Ninabuck Bridge

Posted on 5:48 AM by Unknown
NOW I can break out the Champagne (or sparkling wine in America) as I won my fantasy baseball league.  How did I win?  I road the Brewers to victory.

Now if only I could get my fantasy football teams Wide Receiver problems fixed.  I have Jennings who has been a complete bust this year and with him not playing Sunday and my other big gun having a Bye week my second place standing is in jeopardy.

OH - for any wagerers out there. Bridgejumper has an "A" pick. Bet the farm on New Orleans at -3.5 this week.   "A" picks are 60-16 since 1992.

 The Bridge.  

Quite a discussion on Facebook about a few of my photographs of that iron bridge.   Seems it's the Ninabuck Bridge.  One of the few remaining 8 Panel Pratt Through Truss bridges in the United States.  Build in 1907  It was moved about three miles up the river.

The discussion on Facebook was the possibility for a big party/dinner being held on the Bridge next year with perhaps a band or something. 


I'm not sure how you actually move a bridge.  "They" actually had to store it for a while.  That would have been cool having a bridge in my backyard. 

I went there yesterday morning in the fog and took some unremarkable shots but did get this impressionistic image out of the bunch.

Brewing today.  My neighbor brought over some hops he grew so I put together my West Coast Blaster recipe.  The last time I had fresh hops I made The Blaster and it turned out pretty good.

I have Columbus which I'll use as my bittering hop as it's a high alpha hop (15%) but it's awesome for dry hopping.

Centennial has medium intensity with floral and citrus tones and an alpha of 8%  and Willamette which I'm not sure if I'll include that one.  It's sort of a British hop.  I might add some Amarillo which is hard to find these days.

-----------------------------------------------------

Taking a road trip to Door County next week.  I'm hoping there are still some leaves on the trees! 

-------------------------------

OK - I'm in brewing mode - gotta run!
