Looks great!

Thank you for the mid- to long-range analysis.

Great analysis of the mid to long range in the last page. Really top notch.

We’re cracking the 2020 Anniversary bottle (aged in Weller 12-year barrels) and 2017 Reserve (aged in 11-year Knob Creek barrels), and will follow that with a couple cans of Parish Holy Ghost. We’re going to have the same stout share this time next year. Nice list! Keeping those beers for double-digit years is really impressive! I feel the pain on ruining your vertical in a moment of weakness . I have 2014 and 2016-2020 stouts, as well as a 2014 barleywine. Jealous of those older bottles, but I’d never be able to pull the trigger on drinking them!

Wife and I are starting Drynuary on Sunday...because there’s no way in hell we could go two weekend nights in a row after the last two weeks. I feel a bit of relief that I’ve got a couple more days to go, but I’m fearful of my mental state come next Sunday evening.

Been entertaining our girls most of the day, but finally have some down time. Of course, the weather is disgusting, so I’m watching DVRed soccer. Could be worse, I suppose. Will be sitting by the heater under the carport and cracking some special release Bourbon County stout bottles with my buddy later.

OK. That’s pretty dumb.

I feel like I missed something that was well worth reading. Kind of.

I would very much like them to be federally legal. Congrats to those who don’t have to worry about that!

Congrats, Incheon.

It was nearly the same a bit ago before the light rain moved in amd wind picked up. Now it’s 45 here, but nowhere close to frozen!

We’re at the point where the ops “see” the good pattern and start encouraging the pitching of pants tents.

Nice day to get the kids outside. Too bad the 3-year-old still needs some supervision or else I’d toss them both out there and just chill for 30 minutes in peace...

You’re next

Please stop quoting or even responding to Ji. Thanks.

Got a few flurries in Burke right now.

Someone snipped and quoted a post of his, if what you’re referring to is what I think it is. Not really a good way to have gone about it - really was taken out of context.

No doubt that plenty have just been observing and commenting, but I feel like the “bad” looks draw a lot more doom-and-gloom observations than do good looks get “it’s happening” ones. Of course, that’s pretty much driven by the absolutely shite years we’ve had recently - recency bias and the associated gun shy-ness, so I get it. I’m just being a smartass more than anything.

Also, this time last week we had well-respected posters honking on the upcoming look. Now it’s a dumpster fire. What’s it going to be this time next week? Stay tuned...

Can we please stop quoting Ji? Thanks.

FlASh FrEeZe!!1!

Christmas morning and noontime with mood flakes. I guess I shouldn’t complaint ...right?

Not gonna lie...that band of snow by Fredericksburg that was modeled to be over MBY for the last day of HRRR runs is making my Christmas as a little blue!
