A Cool One at the Cottage

A Cool One at the Cottage

Well the summer is finally here in full force and while I do enjoy the great outdoors and all those summer activities, they can create a powerful thirst. Nothing better than to quaff a cool one in the summer. This beer looked delicious right out of the can with a deep...

Fins Up!

Inspired by Jimmy Buffet’s song Magaritaville,* and part of the reason the laidback sandals and sea-shore singer is a billionaire, the Landshark Lager brand is owned by Anheuser -Busch InBev.  What began in Jacksonville mainland Florida as an “island beer”, has gone...

Lager and Lime Make for a Prickly Pair

Lager and Lime Make for a Prickly Pair

Someone should tell the Baronesa if she goes cavorting naked through the cactus grove picking limes she could end up with a prickly pair!* Contessa, Baronesa, Lady Gaga. The titles always confused me, most likely because I am no peer of peerage.**  I did meet a...

Weathering the Storm Quite Nicely

Old Johny Keats could rhyme you right round the bend and back and win that girl for you while he was at it. But what the hell is a KEETS?  Storm Stayed has us in a fog over this one. But when it comes to beer tasting, what’s in the can is more important than what’s on...

Sun God’s Day Off

Sun God’s Day Off

A lazy hazy laid back sun drenched and bake day at the lake. After a burnt bird BBQ, out on the lake casting a line and wetting the net, then a twilight boat ride to nowhere in particular. No grinding just unwinding, powering down and not on charge. In energy saving...

Reeling in a Zinger

Reeling in a Zinger

Alone but not lonely at the cottage (my sane asylum). Out on the water, a line in the lake, reeling from the heat but still reeling them in. I think catching pickerel this big qualifies as weightlifting, but for those of you worried about the fish, have no fear. I...

Lightweight to Hydrate

Lightweight to Hydrate

Apparently, the length of the lawn is directly proportional to the number of days that I don’t mow it, according to my much better half. So despite the torrid heat, it was lawn mowin’ time again. Mowing the lawn tonight was like taking a walk on the sun….with a...
