A bunch of doings at the Lincolns. 1st, Hank is good. He walks, he talks (that's a lie, he points and grunts) he sits on command and will bring you tickle mits then try to out run you while you get them on. No item of great note, just he's a whole lot of fun.
Moving on our patio is currently going in. This is the same patio that has not been approved by the HOA, and we have no idea if the town requires a permit (Erin says the neighbor said he herd we didn't need one). But one way or the other it's going in. I'll have pic's as it comes along.
Beer is brewing again. Last Thursday I got it kicked off with a nut brown ale, and tonight I did and IPA featuring nugget and fuggles hops. My wife and I had a minor skirmish over where the beer could be while fermenting, She didn't want to see it or have Hank find it, and I wanted it on the main level for tempature control. So after much looking around the same couple of rooms I discovered this great spot...
It's a radiator cover that we bought 2 of and this one is in the bath room by the front door. Since the bathroom has an auto closing door it's hank proof, and even if hank has the unfortunate distinction of needing to join a parent in the room, he still cant get to the buckets. Erin can't see them, and the CO^2 they give off has the added benefit of a brewery air fresher.
I'll have to use the other one in the basement for aging beer's out of the light.
The tax business slowed a bit but we are still back logged with work so ton's to do. Random phone calls seem to take huge chunks of time. as does checking the stockmarket. On a personal note, I've managed to keep up running 3-5 times/week for 3 weeks now and feel much better for it. I'd still like a local running buddy like I had before in Frederick, but no luck yet.
