Hey Joe, did you happen to see the ceremony honoring Paul O'Neill's induction into monument park?

I didn't unfortunately.  I did catch Jeter's hit to pass Honus Wagner.  I would've thought that Bernie would've gotten a monument before O'Neill but they didn't ask me.  Had some unscheduled in-law visits this week, been a little hectic.

Was that a good thing or a bad one. Morning Joe - PFDT

Visit for unfortunate reasons.  Lifelong friend of theirs passed away.  Kids are happy to have them back already, since they were just here a week ago.  Morning, Mike!

Sorry to hear it.  Have they gone back already or still with you?

They'll be here through next weekend, when the service will be held.  I believe my BIL will also be down next weekend so it'll be a total circus.  Trying hard to keep the focus on the boy since he starts kindergarten Thursday.  We'd built up a special weekend just for him - school supply shopping, lunch at his favorite restaurant, etc., all with his sister staying home with my brother - so he's a little confused with the whirlwind of activity.  O'well, life happens.

lil' Wacky starting school?  Say it ain't so!

Nice thing about this site is PM's pop up on my phone/mail and also display at the top of the page.  Got it thanks.

And despite popular opinion, I can't see everyone's PMs.

Such bullshit!

Hey there, Scott.  I'd just PM ya my weekend my beer recap but I'll post it here since they're equally private.

Stone RuinTen - possibly a new favorite IPA
Founders Breakfast Stout - good, but did not live up to expectations I'd set for it.  There are other coffee/chocolate beers I've enjoyed more.  I prefer the Founders Imperial Stout to this one.
Mother Earth SinTax - always a favorite, though the Horny Goat has better PB/Chocolate flavors
Lagunitas Night Time Ale - ordinary dark ale.  Nothing I'd look to repurchase.
Stone IPA - funny how boring the 'standard' stuff can taste once you start dabbling with their smaller production beers.

Joe, do you like the Horny Goat PB over the Belching Beaver PB?

Indeed... crazy.  Probably gonna be rougher on the wackette without big brother at daycare with her.

Yes.  Higher ABV with the Horny Goat, so better 'value' there, at least with regards to the 1,000 calories each contain, haha.  BB has really good PB flavors but I really don't like heavy beers with low ABV.  Not that I'm necessarily trying to get drunk, but if you're gonna down all that beer ya may as well get a little buzz from it, ya know?  Plus the BB is kinda expensive.  SinTax is cheaper here.

Very good to know...not like I get any of those beers, but good to know in case the opportunity arises!

Was the same with Tim and Colin and is the same with Madeline and Charlotte.  Always helps to have somebody you know.

I agree with all of that, especially the RuinTen and lack of privacy here with PMs

I never liked the Stone IPA, it kept me from diving deeper with their stuff until recently. The RuinTen is outstanding though IMO

The regular Stone IPA was oddly sweet in comparison to the RuinTen.

Ha, that's for sure.  Very happy the boy is old enough for free babysitting public education.
