Busy Weekend!

This weekend was very eventful. My parents had there annual Halloween party.. We had a contest of the best homemade video this year. My brother in law won it. His movie was pretty good considering how much time we had. We also went a pumpkin farm. Jacob loved it. We took lots of pictures. I will get them up in another post.

I will try and put up my home video. Hopefully it works!

Beer

I got another brew going. I am getting pretty good at this brewing stuff. This will be my fifth brew. 

Quick Recap:

1. A Hef

2. A Porter

3. A Amber Ale

4. Espresso Stout

5. A Hoptastic IPA

A couple of weeks ago I went to an brew fest. I had a beer there that was great. All I could taste was hops. After tasting it, I figured I could brew it. Hopefully it comes out as good as I think it will. Here are some pictures of my new brew.

My Hoptastic Brew

Brewing Goodness.....

This is what is going to give me my hoppy flavor (flavoring hops)

A guy can never have enough good beer!

Dentist......

I haven't been to the dentist is a long while..... I would say about 5 years! 

A couple of weeks ago, I went to the dentist for the first time since I left the Navy. The doctor said that my teeth were in ok shape. 2 weeks later I got a root canal :(..... Today I got what they call a deep cleaning. I call it a recipe for pain. 

The dentist cleaned under my gums. I spent about 2 hours in the dentist chair enduring a lot of pain. They gave me some local numbing, but it was not near enough. I was reading about the procedure, and not many people get all their teeth done in one sitting. I got mine, and right now I wish I didn't. 

My gums are still bleeding and it is hard to eat. I guess once you get one of these deep cleanings, you have to keep getting them. I don't like that idea. I probably should not wait another 5 years to get my teeth cleaned again :). 

Fall Is Here

Hey!

Finally!!!! Fall is here. I am sad to see summer leave us, but I do like my four seasons. This summer was packed with lots of stuff. I am ready for things to slow down a little. Etsuko and I had our 6 Anniversy on the 1st.... We didn't do much, but we still love each other as much today as we did 6 years ago...... ;) 

Beer brewing is going good. The porter I made turned out real good. The Amber Ale that I bottled last weekend has some promise to it....  I have an expresso stout going now. I hope it turns out good. I tasted a little bit, and it tasted like it would be rich and full of caffine. 

It is time for my parents to throw their annual Halloween party. These parties are usually pretty fun. This year there is a little twist. We all have to make our own scary movie. After the we watch all the movies, we will vote on the best one. I just got done shooting mine this weekend. I will post it after I win top prize at the party.

Here are some pictures of the Perfect Porter.
