CAPE Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 4 minutes ago, Baltimorewx said: I deff hear you but the 60 and 90 are worlds different to me. Being someone who isn’t an IPA fan, the 60 tastes like a typical IPA, where I get plenty of malt and or barley out of the 90 minute Well thats the difference between those 2 yes. The 90 defo has a big malt backbone by comparison. But you ain't seen nothing yet, until you try the 120. Insane amount of hops and barley. The latter gives you the sweet, smooth balance, and the 18% abv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 We had a great day down in Blackwater including biking the wildlife loop. Saw 9 confirmed bald eagles and a few unconfirmed, but unfortunately, we didn’t catch any snakeheads. Also tried to stop in Wishing Well Liquors but they close early because of covid, so settled on a small beer store and picked up a few things I haven’t seen over here. And now relaxing with a Manhattan. Great day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as this gets remedied by next winter It’s a little damp here, hoping it clears a little. Need to finish power washing the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been years since we’ve seen the true wood color. sanding and staining the railing has now been added to our to do list. Thankfully the decking is composite and in great shape. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Also, the previous owners did a lot of shitty handy work themselves. We’ve slowly been replacing and correcting as we can.

I have a lot of decking, back deck is weirdly shaped 6x12 angling out to 12x22 with a set of steps off the side (deck is 10 foot above ground level). Then the front covered deck is 6x12 with a staircase and side is 8x12 with another set of stairs! When I power wash/stain that it is a month adventure lol! I had to take a 2nd look at the avatar, thought I had something on the screen. Good deal on going composite on the deck boards, I likely will once I get to the point of needing to replace.

snowfan Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 One interesting thing I saw on twitter was some school district announcing no snow days next year now that they know distance learning works.

PhineasC Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 1 minute ago, WxWatcher007 said: I was on a big local conference call recently about distance learning. There are a lot of issues not the least of which is the lost opportunity for kids to learn how to interact with others. Here, it seems to be easier for kids that are on the older side. It’s really rough for the early elementary kids and parents. I would agree with that. My kids are all 5th grade or younger. If I was a junior in HS this would be OK, maybe even 8th grade and up if the student is really diligent and self-motivating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not alot of teacher instruction and just fiquiring things out on our own. Thr most frustrating is when the technology is not working and it takes an hour to do something that should take 10 min.

mappy Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I’m hopeful the change this week in BaltCo will help. More virtual meets and teachers actually wanting to see what the kids have been doing. Now granted, I’ve only got a first grader so it’s been pretty simple in terms of teaching her things. But not nearly enough "class" time with her teacher.

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Yesterday was gorgeous out. Went for a walk at the Audubon nature center (not far from me) and took several photos.
