Brew Town - Part 1

I'm working away staring at my screen all day all day all day then BOOM! I look up and see this out the window so we ran upstairs to soak it in.

Steven's buddy Taka was visiting from Tokyo so he had to show him a good time so they went to an 80s and 90s themed holloween party at littlefield.  It was full of young people.  Bob got into the spirit and dressed up like this, not pictured are the skin tight acid washed jeans.

not pictured, the Did I Do That steve urkel t-shirt steven begrudgingly bought

That's our steven

we were waiting in line for a while and said screw this lets just go to Lucky Saloon 13 across the street and drink.  

we looked across the street and the line was gone so we decided to go to the party after all (Jen and I are too old to be going to parties at midnight).  These are their costume finalists.  We didn't plan on doing anything so we didn't even have costumes on.  We looked like Narcs so I guess we could say we were dressed like that.

We boiled 4.5 gallons of cider to kill off any unwanted wild yeast and bacteria.  I was looking at craigslist for weeks for a free extra brewing vessel since we were planning on making multiple batches and found a guy that was giving away an entire kit for free so i hustled over there and got it and it even included a wort chiller ($100 value!) coil that you run cold water through and it cools down the wart and spits it out the other side as hot water.  We don't have a sink that accepts a garden hose thread attachment so bob had to stand there with plastic wrap, his hand pressure, and sheer will power to make it work, and work awesomely it did.

the three testicles = the three dumb@$$es.

4.5 gallons of hard cider hopefully.  It's two months later now and its been conditioning in the closet this whole time.  Cider is more like wine they say and gets better with age.  We'll see.....

still harvesting greens

so it finally started getting cold and our pilot light on the furnace wouldn't stay lit after trying everything for weeks short of replacing the thermocouple (my final diagnosis).  I could have done it but this seems like dangerous stuff so we called multiple professionals who wouldn't even come do it and we finally found one.  It turned out the thermocouple was broken and they replaced it and now we have heat.

we saw Warpaint on broadway.  Inspiring set designs and costumes 

there are still new tomato flowers coming out!

an ad for Stranger Things on Netflix masquerading as a real ad.  The show is so popular they can do this

we saw M. Butterfly starring Clive Owen on broadway.  More inspiring sets and lighting.
