Is Ris in Brooklyn?

My favorite cloud of the summer so far. I would put this in the banter thread but this is at least weather related.

Twas’ just your usual horses at the beach type of day.

Cleveland Ledge Light.

Another nice day on the bay!

I picked the right week to take off from work.

Pretty cool little mountain, I remember skiing there as a kid.

I know local police officers and emergency responders that are not vaccinated. A friend of mine who is an officer in a local town, that has about 15 full-time and part-time officers, said that majority in his department are not vaccinated.

That would go to the Supreme Court and be overturned. Most red state governors would say no anyway.

Top 10 day out on Buzzards Bay. This is heading west out of Quissett Harbor.

The best pictures are in your mind. That’s a pretty rare sighting, probably only meant for you in that moment.

Beautiful night in Falmouth, you can feel the wind drying things out. I have to say, you can tell they haven’t had much rain down here while everyone else in SNE got drowned.

I mean I’m always up for a good UFO discussion too.

They make quality libations.

Beer talk! Boulevard Tank 7 is in cans now. Maybe the best American Saison out there.

Yeah, it makes no sense. I’m sure numbers would still be alarmingly high if we tested every man, woman and child in the US. If cases are mild who cares?

FWIW, most of the Covid cases in the Cape Cod outbreak are in vaccinated individuals.

I buy extended warranties with major appliances. Our neighbor is a repair man and he said the failure rate on new washing machines nowadays is one in four within 3 years. That is ridiculous and sad.

Great basketball game tonight. Giannis is so athletic and talented.

Refreshing breeze off of Buzzards Bay this evening.

How have I never seen this before?

Germany flood compilation.

Well, that is a complicated question. I was, for quite a while, generally only responsible for making sure stores bought the beer and it got to where it needed to go. So, sales and distribution manger. Then when the lock downs came and we lost staff, including our head brewer, I got physically involved in the brewing process. Hard work and not glamorous but it's a hands on product so ultimately satisfying. Being north of 50 lets just say my body and I are glad we are back to where we have been able to hire new assistant brewer. Lol A small craft brewery is not just making beer but doing all of the packaging, keg washing / filling and delivering. So, there are lots of side jobs in the brewing process. Brew days are complicated with many steps. I would be happy to go through it all in detail in a later post but I will be making a video in a few weeks so that will be on youtube. The short answer to your question is that working in the right brewery can be really fun, even if the pay scale isn't great. I won't lie, sometimes you are literally getting paid and encouraged by the boss to drink fresh delicious beer. Quality control is essential. ; )

Oh yeah, last winter we had some kid working at the brewery, he was actually a great worker, call in one day and said he tested positive. Never heard from him again but I know he’s OK because I’ve seen him around town.

Precipitation averaging out may get everybody a cold dry winter.
