How many bottles per pound..

I am dead in the water today after the long weekend so this is going to be a slow ramble.. Well the weather could not have been any better and the beer any colder this weekend.. IJ and had our families at the cabin all weekend long.. To sum up the weekend I fashioned a WT version of a tow rope for the boat and pulled the kids on tube.. They had a blast while IJ and I struggled to make sure the rope didn't get caught in the prop.. It is fun to watch IJ in 90 degree heat wrestle with a wet rope and attempt to lift the kids in and out of the water without falling in himself.. Meanwhile I had to dodge all the Jet ski trying to jump the wake that we where creating and hopefully keep the idiots on the lake away from my kids if they feel off the tube.. Mission accomplished kids lived and IJ and I managed to lose 3lbs in sweat per hour.

The good news is the stress of driving the boat and combating the 90 heat allowed me and IJ to put down a number of beers that truly amazed me.. It is hard to describe how good Newcastle really if you haven't had it please drink a cold one and you will understand this ramble.. Ohh it is a rich ale that doesn't fill you up and really allows you to drink plenty of them without feeling bloated. (I am already bloated looking but I don't enjoy the feeling of bloated). So each day after we where down fighting the boat,kid,wife, and we enjoyed more than a few cold Newcastle.. I won't call them beer because that just doesn't do them justice..

BS came up with his family on 3rd and told us that he would bring up some New Castle.. This is shouldn't be tough to calculate and since his wife and kids seem very bright so I assumed BS would have the wherewithal to calculatea how many bottle we would need for the day.. But his calculations made me seem bright and if you have had read any of these posts its easy to tell that is from true.. When you bring up bring New Castle for a day on the water and your friends are peanbutter sandwich short of 1/4 ton you should calacuate your bottles per lbs properly. Well apparently the people of Turtle Lake think England is town north Danbury that you get to by taking YY to AB and cross over to 41 15/16 street and hang a left on UU no W and it should be on the West side of Easbound county Road JM.. So we where unable to get any more New Castle other than two that BS brought for us to pour in an glass and share.. (hence the bitterness). Well other than the new castle fiasco the weekend was complete with BS and his great family..

Jottings
Gardy through the twins game last night.. You can't start that lineup and expect to beat a softball team.. Shannon Stewart is a very good hitter but his day's in the outfield have to be kept to a minumum.. And he should not be playing when Ford is playing center.. Maybe we need to pay hunter.. The outfield just isn't the same without him.. Tiffee is not a Major league talent bring somebody else up.. Wow is Justin Mornea hitting the ball hard it is fun to watch a power hitting in the Twins line up.. I thought he would take longer to develop I was wrong.. We have to pay Mike James more than the mid level exception and he is hated by his team in Toronto.. Is this sum weird joke where we are trying to field a team of guys under 6'3' what are they doing.. I know they are trying to listen to KG but scouting talent is not his job.. McFail is an idiot.. How good would Ben Wallace have looked with KG.. That was a good move by the Bulls maybe spent too much but he can guard anyone in the NBA…


Movies
