How was your day?

I'm finishing up (she said hopefully) making an existing website html5 and mobile device compliant. Then on to the next site. No rest for the self employed.

And on day 7 of no a/c. :( :( :( :( :(

Hope your day is going well, Grouchy.

It has been a really good day. The dogs and I have spent
a lot of time on the porches. The swallows have been
trying to dive bomb us.
I have done 4 sets of my rehab exercise. Going to try
for 6 before bedtime.
I have some red meat marinating. Will fire up the grill soon.

We also still have a couple of gallons of Blue Bell in the freezer and
we will have some of that later.

We too have red meat marinating. Sadly, no Blue Bell.

Sounds like you have had a good day.

Just got back in from feeding equines and feeding myself some dewberries.

I have only 1 page to go on the current website but it's the longest page and the one with the most coding changes to be made. Since it's nearly 5 I'm gonna put the rest of it off till tomorrow and go split a beer with my spouse. 8-)

Had to finish getting my son ready to fly to Denver to join the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps for the rest of the summer. He informed me that after I drove him to the airport I needed to drive to Commerce to get some things he had left in his dorm room. And that's what I did. We are having grilled chicken. But no Blue Bell.

It's the ongoing trying a new beer every day thing. One day we poured out 3 beers - yes they were that bad..........and Bob will drink almost anything - before finding one we liked. I am mystified as to why anyone thinks grapefruit flavor improves beer. We've found that many of the IPAs utilize a grapefruit flavored hop. Nasty.

By now we've pretty much run out of new beers to try. Need a bigger Brookshires. :D


We also learned that Stella Artois tastes like dead rat smells. Or did I already mention that in a previous post?

And, as I told you in my PM, I'm looking at the site today. Yes, it needs a lot of updating. Her beads are really beautiful!

How could any beer drinker not like Stella Artois?

Of course it should be poured from the tap, like all quality beers.

Any time a beer is bottled, there is a chance it won't be properly transported, refrigerated, etc...

I can't remember the last time I had a bad draft beer.

Yeah well, when you live 30 miles from the nearest bar and probably 150 miles from the nearest bar that would serve anything other than Budwiser and Budwiser Light you take what you can get. Still I'd rather pour a bad Stella Artois down the drain than live in any big city. And Shiner Bock is still the best of all the beers we've tried. :D

Had to get my 10 year old girl to school this morning for her day long field trip to Austin. She has really been looking forward to this.

I would not want to spend all that time with a busload of 4th graders to and from Austin. I know that they will be seeing the capitol. Not sure what else.

I would not want to drive down to Austin and back in one day period, LOL. It's going to be a long day for those kids.
