still alive

what a weekend. Started off really great, buddy Andy got in town had a couple drinks at Backstreet Pub then hung out at a friends house and made pizza's. Got behind a woman going 25 in a 55 on the way home state trooper pulled us both over right in front of my street ( guess i was riding to close ) He yells at the woman in front of me and then tells me to get out and asks me to sit in his car where he asks me a bunch of questions in the mist of them he pulls out a hand held breathalizer and tells me to blow.  Now i had a couple of beers (as mentioned earlier)  but it was spanned over like 6 hours so i wasn't worried but still really scared. I blew into the straw and he tells me that i was under the limit and that riding close is at least 4 points on my license, then puts out his hand ( to shake ) and says drive around that woman and get home. I about shit my pants. haha I take this as a very valuable lesson granted i really wasn't doing anything wrong and i hadn't been drinking alot but still its a wake up call that even when you are doing right (sorta) that you are never really safe from the law.
The rest of the weekend was good we walked around town a lil had some good lunch, bonfires and watched old videos we had made going back almost 10 years. Sunday linds got stomach virus and was in bed all day feeling bad, i went to lunch with andy and reb, i got a catfish sandwich and when we got home i slowly felt the stomach pains til the point that i was hanging out with the toilet, we got to know each other pretty good that night  haha ew. Anyway im recovering now and still haven't ate much in past 48hrs

till next time bunk

cheers

Bunks!

Brew Review with Andy Roo - #1 Magic Hat "Demo"

Got my best friend Andy to do a few beer reviews as part of my (our) blog and I am so stoked to finally put this up its something that you will be seeing alot more often on here at least once a month. 

looks tasty!

Magic Hat Demo (I.P.A on Tour) – Spring Seasonal

      The first thing I noticed about this beer, from the always-exciting Magic Hat brewery in Vermont, is the clever labeling. The label is designed to look like a 45-rpm record from “Magic Hat Band,” to correlate with the name. Unfortunately, in this digital age the life of the record is rarely seen, so this throwback is plus.
The beer itself is an India Pale Ale, yet unlike any IPA I have ever had because it is black. It forms a nice head when poured, which is always a plus… who doesn’t like good head? I find it hard calling it a pale ale though, because it lacks the hoppy characteristics of an IPA, and it goes down smooth like a nice, dark stout. Overall, I really enjoy this beer, and will undoubtedly enjoy it again through the winter as its 6% abv content gives you the warm, and fuzzy. This beer may be hard to locate in some regions though, because it is in fact a spring release, and according to my local resource it came in earlier than expected. If you can find it, buy it… and of course bottoms up! Cheers!

Cheers bunk!!

Was heading home last night and happened to see a few hoppers on the side of the road and it immediately caught my attention. Conrail Twittys Moniker along with some other members of DIF (Dixie iron fist) was awesome to find them all together. Conrail Twitty has a produced some great photography and published a few zines and a photobook that inspired me to do the same. Unfortunately he is no longer with us but his work will live on forever.

Can't wait for the good weather to come back and stay! Today is 20deg's colder then the past two days, kinda bummed but there will be plenty of warm weather coming. Theres a few events coming up that lead into a jam packed summer like Beaufort Food & Wine, Beaufort Music Festival (which has a personal Favorite headlining i will talk about them when they post it as well) theres another thats caters to my hobbie of woodworking thats the Public Day Sale at the BHA grounds, i have attended the past two years and looking forward to my third. I have done Birdhouses and Patio Furniture, this year is still a toss up have to narrow it down and get building!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!
