The Coffee House

Not that kind of trench, Gary.

We had to cut roughly 100 linear feet of concrete (x2, I guess), jackhammer it all out, and dig out to the appropriate grade. The run up to where the guy is digging is going to be our floor drain for the brewery.

We were quoted $6k for the demo work. Woof. My buddy's uncle is a commercial plumber and has been giving us lots of help. He lent us his jackhammer, and we rented a concrete saw for $65. After about 6 hours of work from 3 unskilled laborers, we're pretty much done.

Edit: You can kind of see the cutout shapes of the brewhouse. The square cardboard to the right is our actual brewhouse, and we'll have a 10 barrel fermenter, 5x5 barrel fermenters, and a 10 barrel brite tank.

Checked out the offerings, looks like I may have to add it to my list of breweries to check out this year.

Leo - you drove under the subway tracks?! Do you mean part of that old elevated line which mostly got torn down (but some of it's still up) and is in old movies all the time? You're quite an amazing person if you were underground and did that.

No snow yet, supposed to only get a couple of inches here so glad the clouds that are going to dump 3-5" of snow are far enough away. One of the local weather forecasters said something about this spring snowfall... like we've had this so often lately it's the usual thing!

Wow, flipped on the news during commercials and saw a clip from the march in NYC and was going, that looks like Paul McCartney... and sure enough it was him! He said something about a good friend having been killed there and it dawned on me he was talking about John Lennon.

You could use Gary's expertise on this.

This is Tomatomania weekend ... out here a lot of nurseries have tomato sales. Gary is off to Blue Hills for some tomatoes.

Wonder what's in Allentown PA? I mean, what's there hockey-wise... new site for the NCAA hockey regionals. I gotta go look at the brackets. At least if it's going to be cold and gray I can watch people skating and shooting pucks.

Oh, Penn State is hosting this, didn't think of them, they haven't been Division I all that long coming from club hockey level.

Afternoon folks. Just been down to the store for a few needed things. Told the cashier how I wish I had known. Home again.

Gary is back from Blue Hills Nursery. About 14-16 tomatoes and a dozen peppers later, Gary may be set for some early planting. He also purchased a peanut plant.

Dave knows nothing about a peanut plant.

And now it's time to say goodnight to all my friends. Because while I didn't NEED to awaken at 4am I did not knowing any better.
