pouring bummer

At yesterday's festival we worked our shift then wandered around. This is different than how it's been for us the last four years of volunteer pouring. We are usually having so much fun that we stay for as long as they'll have us. It seems the pool of volunteers has changed. It has gotten younger and more, I want to say arrogant, but maybe they are just different. Anyway, we poured and then walked away with our free beers to check out the other activities. It was pleasant. I had cramps and my back hurt so didn't feel like participating too much. We ran into our friends Tim and Sue and Sue's mom, had a quick chat with them. After that we went to Sean Kelly's for dinner and home to Tiika.

The coolest part of the day was that a co-worker of mine won their contest that had him signing away the title of his car in exchange for a cool commuting bike and trailer. He has agreed to go car-free for the next year. A big deal even for a crazy biker like him. Way to go! If they post a story on the site, I'll put a link here.

it rained!

Woohoo, it rained last night! I think we both slept through it but noticed the difference it made right off when we let Tiika out for her morning rituals. Feels great to have the smoke down. Especially since we are signed up to pour beer at the Tour de Fat this afternoon put on by the makers of Fat Tire ale, New Belgium Brewing. We've done it for four years now. It's always been a good time.

I've got more to write but I hear Rob rustling about in the kitchen preparing to make us breakfast. I promised to make him a french press of coffee so I better get on it.

Catch y'all later.
