At the end of the longest line…

Altogether this was an excellent weekend. Saturday we finally bottled the dark beer we’ve been brewing. Hopefully, some 52 bottles of yummy beer will be ready in about ten days. I also got part of my check from Captain Bringdown, which was a nice surprise. I can tell that there isn’t a lot of love lost between us.

This morning we biked at Sherman Branch (http://www.singletracks.com/php/trail.php?id=1952), a gentle how-do-you-do after the hell of the 12 hour Treeshaker race. Sherman Branch is not the toughest trail ever, but it is a lot of fun. I even went over that nasty wooden roller coaster obstacle in the pictures. It doesn’t look like much I suppose, but get your ass on a bike and go over something like that at speed and we’ll talk.

The afternoon was mostly wasted with a friendly game of disc golf at Kilbourne Park (http://www.charlottedgc.com/kilborne.asp).
My game was cursed as usual, but between babysitting the dog and getting drunk on cheap beer, I’m not that shocked that my driver disc found every tree that it could.

Tomorrow will most likely be a wash, other than I might finally send out a few resumes, clean out the small room, and maybe write that long essay about leaving graduate school.

Super Bonus Fun Etc.: I’m really looking forward to the Halloween road trip to see Nine Inch Nails in Nashville. Besides seeing a great band on an otherwise awesome night, I’m excited to add yet another visited state to my list of lifetime accomplishments.

Today was a low “give me a cup of poison” day, but you’ll still find me at the end of the longest line.
