Yo fool, good to see you posting again. Nice crib, I’m gonna have to bring the wife up there in the fall so she can see how nice the NE is in the fall, we should hook up for a ride.

Anytime Bob! I’ll treat you to the grand tour of trails and homebrew on tap, ha. Only thing is you gotta share the guest bedroom with Buster…

DT, what do you think of the Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA? I really dig the Simcoe hops.

Dogfish just opened a brewpub in Falls Church. JK and I tried it. Nothing special really, i think it will just be convenient for growler fills.

The Double Simcoe IPA is a great one, super hop aroma. Simcoe tends to be really floral and citrusy, a lot like Amarillo. Add in Centennial and you’ve got my three favorite hops. The Dogfish brewpub - I’ve heard mixed reviews. I bet it was nice when they opened it and had a ton of their vintage beers for sale. Like you said though, nothing super special about the place except you can get really good beer now in a location that was pretty lacking before. Not to mention it’s pretty much across the street from Derek’s homebrew shop (next to the Sears), makes for a good way to kill a couple of hours.

Yo! DT good to see you back and posting. Your new place looks pretty sweet but you forgot the most important foto’s, that of your bike area and beer brewing area in your basement. Hhahahaha!

Damn, I need to get out and try snowboarding again. I had a semi-bad fall last year out in South tahoe and I was sore for a couple of weeks. Ugh. Gotta find somewhere nice and easy. Any suggestions for down here??

Cheers on the brewing notes, I think my wife is finally getting me a kit for the holiday of commercialism.
Cheers and have a good one!

Don’t let us fool you Rob, brewing is disgusting…disgustingly awesome! It’s a dangerous path, much like mountain biking, that once you start going down, there’s no coming back. Hope that kit treats you well.

Snowboarding isn’t that hard, it’s just kind of freaky to not be able to move your feet like you can on a skateboard or skis. My first season of boarding I had a few rough runs. Once I knocked myself out so hard that my head bounced off the snow/ice and bent all the way forward hard enough to severely bruise shoulder/chest. The kind of bruise that starts off black and ends up green/yellow. That was a hard one to come back from. Then there was my first time trying a table top ramp. Up the one side, got way more air than I thought I would, rotate backwards and fall 8 feet out of the air onto my back…breathing was a little hard that day. All that said, I’m still boarding, still pretty rubbish at it, and it’s still fun. Down in your area you’re probably looking at either Massanutten (down near Harrisonburg, VA) or Seven Springs in PA. Both are probably within 2 hours from you.

I’ll see if I can get some photos up of the basement area, particularly the brewing and bike area. I need to get some updated photos of the whole house anyway. Might take a few days to get the basement back to a state where photos are possible, ha.
