Long weekend + 3 day work week = AWESOME!

As the title suggests, this Friday is my alternate Friday! So between Labor Day and my Friday off I'm going to have 2 three day weekends with a three day work week in between. Not too shabby!

I hope everybody had a good weekend. Mine was quite nice. Saturday morning I bottled number 25 (my honey amber) and it tasted good! I didn't end up using honey as the priming sugar because I thought it tasted sweet enough as is. I was afraid that using honey when bottling would make the honey taste too overpowering. We'll see what it tastes like in a couple of weeks when it's carbonated and ready to drink. It ended up being around 6% so it should get the job done. If it's ready to drink I'll bring some to the ECU game on the 20th.

Saturday night Liz and I went to dinner at Maggiano's. We're trying to get lots of dates in before the baby comes! I know this will be hard to believe, but I didn't get chicken parmesan! I know. Shocking. I got chicken saltimbocca instead and it was excellent. It really did jump into your mouth!

Sunday we had our fantasy football draft. Hopefully my team will be better than the bunch of misfits and rejects I had last year. Last years team may as well have been 3-eyed sheep fuckers. It was a lot of fun hanging out and talking smack with everybody at the draft. Except for Mike's vicious farts, it was a good time!

Liz and I went down to my parents on Labor Day. I went dove hunting and she hung out with Mom, Kerri, and baby Klay. Yesterday was actually Klay's 1st birthday. Happy birthday, Klay! I had a pretty good day hunting yesterday. I shot better than I had in years. I ended up knocking down 7 birds (after taking 49 shots), but only found 3 of them. We were hunting at a soybean field and the beans were over waist high in many places. That made it very difficult to find anything that fell in the field. Only downside was that it was hotter than 40 hells yesterday and wearing long pants and long sleeve camo made for a sweaty afternoon. It was fun and now I've got 9 dove breasts I can cook at the tailgate on Saturday.

Off to meetings and other fun Monday stuff.
