View Full Version : It's blowin in NYC.... Oh and Winter is coming...
Lost a gutter pipe off the side of the house already and a big tree branch fell in the yard... It's supposed to get really bad after midnight... I pray for the poor folks in the middle of this mess....
Also.... My gas grill ran out of gas last night... the final sign that Summer is over... :)

Elwood:
I'm helping a buddy brew for the 1st time next week and he wants to do it outside on his gril side thing... extract brew... anything I'm forgetting about brewing outside? I've always messed up the kitchen myself.
I was looking at mars last night. What hurricain?
Your lucky to be looking at Mars... But it was kinda cool.. You could see the swells in the Hudson river - the barges that were anchored were gettig tossed around a little..
I like weather...

I've always messed up the kitchen myself. You should be good to go M@, Brewing outside is pretty much the same as inside, but you don't have to clean up as much. Are you using a wort chiller?
I'm bringing my immersion chiller.

-KM I haven't had it yet. Sounds delicious! I am convinced blueberries can make many alcoholic beverages taste better. I made up some margaritas with fresh blueberries a little while back, and they were the best Margs I've ever had! I love the sound of a blueberry ale. Kmrn, you just gave me an idea...I think I am going to pick some berries for my next batch!!!

Friday it RAINED. It was raining really hard when I went running. I got some skiing practice though, at one point when I was on a steep mud slope with a few rain-induced rivers running down it. ;)
Anyway, I went flying that night, and it was really, very, very turbulent. I flew Laconia-Manchester in a Piper Archer, and definitely a stormy night (most nights are actually very calm, good flying weather).
Fun time, but I agree that it's time for some snow...and Tenney's supposedly making it right now! :snowflakes:

Elwood - if you make some, I want some!!!!
:beermug:
Elwood: STOP! I hope it's not too late. I have had a bad blueberry beer.
And what are you thinking? This is PUMPKIN BEER SEASON. Hello? Are you doing this to impress kmrnskier?
I'm making me a pumpkin ginger beer any DAY now.
NH: Tele, I got my ticket in 1998, about 12 days before I got married. Told my fiance as I walked in the door after the checkride, "You're marrying a Pilot!"
SaxMan is a VERY enthusiastic pilot. I believe he is never online in the summer becuase he hops from puddle to puddle in his seaplane. He's promised to come get me some time... you should make that promise too.
Aviation related: We went to the Nashua Aviation Heritage show. Pretty week flying demo wise, but some nice iron on the apron, and some EXCELLENT pix.

M@ - was it you that was talking about a store bought pumpkin beer in a past post??
Elwood, welcome to 700. Lemme know when you keg that pumpkin. My first homebrew pumpkin beer was servered outta a pumpkin, and it was good.
Blueberry batch wasn't bad: Guy who made it liked it, I guess I'm expressing my distaste for most fruit beers.
KMRN: Smutty nose makes a good pumpkin beer this year. I'm not crazy about some of their other offerings tho.

There is a micro brewery in Moncton that makes a blueberry ale. When the serve it on tap they drop a scoop of blueberries in it. If the berries are frozen they react with the beer causing a lava lamp type effect. It's a little weird having floaties in your beer, but the beer tastes good.

Aviation related: We went to the Nashua Aviation Heritage show. Pretty week flying demo wise, but some nice iron on the apron, and some EXCELLENT pix. I've never flown in a sea-plane, although I'd imagine it would be pretty cool. Most of my flying is in my friend's Piper Archer, although I'm taking lessons in a Piper Warrior over at the local FBO. (usually about 2x a month).
My friend & I often go flying on Friday nights, just around the area, on short x-countries (Lebenon, Manchester, Nashua, etc.) I think in 2 weeks we're planning on flying up to Burlington.
I actually wasn't sure about flying on Friday night because of the weather, but he's the PIC, and he's instrument rated, and we had 800' ceiling at Laconia, so he decided to go ahead with the flight. It was actually a beautiful night for flying, in and out of the cloud tops at 5000. IFR flying can be very challenging I found out. He let me fly left seat (he got a CFI to check him out in the right seat), and I flew 95% of the time. It seemed like everytime I glanced away from the Artificial Horizon it was tilted 15 degrees... and not a SINGLE sensation of bank inside the plane. I can now see how easy it would be to get spatial disorientation (or vertigo).
NH_tele: Where is your FBO?
I flew a sea plane once, it was a hoot. Before I got my ticket - it actually counted towards the hours I needed as the PIC was a destructor. The fly pretty much the same, and land pretty much the same (hard to know when you're at touch down if it's a mirror), but take-off is a whole nother ball game. I plan to put floats on one of my model planes soon, but they are way over-powered compared to a scale size sea plane so it's not a crucial to get it excatly right.
