‘Night, folks. Been a busy weekend.

[Vision]

When only a few, like McCain were talking about it, Moby came out about it.

Hey there, how you doing?

Oh, pretty good, how’s things with you up in Ballmer? The wife had to fly to Dallas for a truncated national manager’s conference Thursday morning, and her flight home to Hartsfield Saturday evening got delayed, starting with a flight attendant not showing up, and it snowballed from there. We didn’t get in until almost midnight (hour drive each way). She was exhausted, and I started futzing around with a dead laptop I had dismantled and didn’t go to bed for several hours, so we slept in until about 7 Sunday evening. There’s ‘my dog ate my homework’ excuse. *chuckle* I did get a keg of Horse’s Ass Pale American Ale fermenting, though. Mixed in a little extra honey with the boiled hops and wort. I think I may prime the bottles with about 1 1/2 tsp. of Turbinado sugar when I bottle it in a couple weeks, and then cold crash it in the fridge for a day before I bottle and condition it for a month. This ought to be smooth, and the honey will give it a dry, crisp finish on the back of the tongue when it goes down. I’ll use a hydrometer to see what the ABV is before I bottle and cap it, but it should ring in at about 5%-6% after priming.

The beer sounds like fun.

I came down with a cold over the weekend and am now up to speed. All’s well, fairly cold. 20f now.

They issued a civil emergency for our county and fifteen others down here until 8 AM tomorrow morning. A ten minute trip to go fetch a bell pepper to use in dinner became an hour-long white knuckler. We got a few inches of snow overnight and the roads are frozen solid. A LOT of black ice out there. It didn't even get out of the 20's today. I worked from home and listened to the local police department on the scanner - they were closing one road after another all day. Connie got word to close their store at 5, and a 30 minute trip home took two hours on the interstate. Yes, it is that bad in Alabama. And we have a two hour delay for our office to open tomorrow morning, so I get a little extra shuteye.

I don't think I've worked a full 40 hour week since the beginning of December. *chuckle*

If you didn't listen to the 10:30 p.m. Family Theatre “The Lonely Road” Sunday you should give it a listen. By skipping towards the end on the bottom bar you can find the start but it can be a little annoying.

I recommend listening before bed or when your day is settled. It brought a tear to my eye. And Gregory Peck's level of acting is rarely heard on OTR. But boy, what a country America can be when it wants to be.

Thanks, Vision!

May 15, 1947: Plot:
“”The Lonely Road”. An honest politician is offered a substantial bribe and a potent threat to “sell out” or else. His decision is made easier by a visit from Abraham Lincoln himself! + Bill Drocher is a small politician who has always believed in his job and his people but now he is being pressurised not to pass a waterways bill and he stands to lose a great deal. Wrestling with his mind Abraham Lincoln comes to him in a vision and gives him this advice, what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul? Through family prayer he finally realizes what he has to do. “
