@lonesometoast.bsky.social are you still using the SymphonyBand or have you discovered something better?

Happy Heavenly Birthday to the beautiful and incomparable @gamj90.bsky.social . I miss you so very much.

07:30 in the morning standing outside in the shade felt like standing in primordial ooze. 84% humidity and 79F already and this is one of the better weather days forecast for this week.

If you like the @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social ESB, and why wouldn't you, there are still a few 4 packs in the to go fridge but rumor has it that is all that's left. Grab it while you can!

One year ago today @gamj90.bsky.social and I were vacationing in Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. It was to be our last vacation together. I miss her so very very much but I am very grateful for the years we had together.

@stateofstlouis.bsky.social any idea what type of tree this is?

🍻 MUG CLUB 🍻 We are trying this out with our membership and thought we would see how it is received by the non-members! It’s a way to get some of the benefits without fully committing 🤍 There are 4 different branded designs to choose from! Start today 🎉

Another hit from @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social that I highly recommend folks try when they can.

Me after being left behind by AI

Went and walked around @mobotgarden.bsky.social for a while and then realized how close I was to @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social so had to stop in!

Six months today since @gamj90.bsky.social left this world. It was a much better place before that and I miss her terribly. To anyone else mourning someone they love, one moment at a time and smile at a happy memory every chance you get.

Howdy people, the good folks @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social still have some Shiftmas boxes available and priced to move. This is a great representation of the many brews they make including two barrel aged stouts. Grab one before they are gone! You will not be sorry.

@kzieff.bsky.social was by to visit Crown Candy today and was good to hear you were not covering your nuts with chocolate! Of course there were all those strawberries demanding attention though.

Folks, @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social still has a few of these left for sale. It is a great representation of their offerings. It was a great value before they priced them to move to create space. Now it is an absolute steal! Grab them quick.

Pretty well set for the upcoming weather. Firewood? Check. Good beer from @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social ? Check. Stay safe and warm everyone!

Not sure I am doing dry January the way it was intended and I am good with that. Thanks @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social

3 months is a very long time when you are mourning and missing the hell out of someone who was enormously special.

Was out hiking at Riverwoods Park today and cannot remember the last time I was hiking in late December in a T-shirt.

On the second day of shiftmas @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social gave to me

On the first day of Shiftmas @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social gave to me:

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate and Happy Thursday to everyone who doesn't!

Was looking and saw a light at the end of a tunnel. Thought maybe it was a train but it was Two Trains from @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social . ( I will go stand in the corner now )

Just when I thought this little guy wasn't good at hiding, today he found a spot that took me hours to uncover. Here was an example of a previous hiding attempt to lull me into a false sense of security.

Chag urim sameach! Technically a little bit early still.

Was outside and I'm not doing that again until Monday. Rewarding my lack of desire to be the proverbial "brass monkey" with this lovely brew from @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social

@socitygirl.bsky.social as promised here is the Christmas tree minus the tree skirt which I have to find soon.

Are you a fan of hazy IPA? Give this one a try if there is any left. A great anniversary brew from @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social

Wish me luck folks. Picking this little guy up Wednesday evening. He is 11 years old and has Feline Leukemia. He is the exact kitty @gamj90.bsky.social and I had talked about adopting after she recovered from surgery. Will often tell him what he missed out on with her not being here.

Looking to reward yourself for avoiding the shoveling of your driveway today? This little beauty from @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social is what I am going with.

It's going to feel like forever until spring.

Sigh, well my daughter's ACA based healthcare almost doubled in cost. Our elected officials should have the same healthcare and costs as their constituents and it should end when they leave office.

Not a bad afternoon for a 5 mile hike through Forest Park. Always amazed at the number of things I never noticed there before.

Hmm, meditation app tells me to practice grounding myself so I can't go anywhere until tomorrow I guess.

Thinking about breakfast for dinner? I was so I decided a @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social Silhouette breakfast stout should be part of it.

Ever wonder what beer is a good choice after hours talking to insurance people? Here is my choice today, thanks @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social

We have many vintage (1978 - 2008) Bandai Godzillas in our #stl toy shop on Watson rd. Open Tuesday - Saturday in November and December. 🤖 🎁 🚀

It was a great weather morning for the 3.8 mile hike around Creve Coeur Lake.

Not that this will come as a shock to anyone but dealing with grief is a bear and a half. And not like Smokey the Bear , way more like Cocaine Bear.

The perfect beer for the last day of October. Thanks @2ndshiftbrewing.bsky.social !
