See I never should have written that, about getting nothing done today, cos that's exactly what happened. I actually did manage to drag myself over to Lowe's after the XDU meeting but I'd forgotten to measure the things I needed to measure. And with only 2 registers open there were 5+ people lined up at each one. Does that happen to anyone else? I mean, every Lowe's or Home Depot has 6, 8 whatever registers but whenver I'm there (usually weekends) there's never more than 2 or 3 staffed. Needless to say, I love the HD out on 15-501 that has the self checkout machines.
Now that we're deep into autumn, the seasonal winter brews are starting to show up. Yum! So far, I've had the following:
Pyramid's Snow Cap. This was good but nothing outstanding -- sorta the way I feel about Pyramid in general. But the packaging is gorgeous. Altho the bottles look more like the standard Pyramid label, with snow, the six pack case preserves the green/white retro look you can see on the bottle in the pic on the website.
Avery's Old Jubilation, which yes I know I blogged last year. It's more available this year and has become my standard for winter beers, replacing my longtime fave, Snow Goose (which I haven't tried yet this year)
Great Divide's Hibernation Ale is my new fave. Dark, malty, hoppy goodness. I'm going to try to lay in a couple of six packs to ration out thru the late winter months. (I know it says it's cellarable but I don't think I've got the willpower to leave a really good beer sitting in my pantry for a year without drinking it.)

And then there's this (yoinked from Slashfood), a far more alarming beverage option. Not as scary as Turkey & Gravy, perhaps, but not something I can see myself drinking either.
