If this is upsetting you this much then I hope you can find a therapist to speak with. You don't want this to start affecting your overall mental health. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suck at dates. But it was a rain or snow call and there was a wall of snow that stopped at Ji’s house. It was the last time I remember him happy, but he’s on ignore now, so what do I know. But when the wall finally caved, we all got a great, unexpected snowfall. It was a Saturday. I know that because I went to a potluck dinner with the best bunch of red neck crabbers in Delmarva down on the Gunpowder River. Ate oysters and drank beer in the snow. as a wise man once said, give me oysters and beer for dinner every day of the year and i'll feel fine also: probably for the best that i missed all of the weeper stuff yesterday lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vastateofmind Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 So, @CAPE: 1) Are you still considering a mini-chase tonight or tomorrow to your coastal east? 2) If not, what beers are queued up for this evening/the weekend? Always kinda look forward to your weekend picks, as well as those from @Scraff & @Scuddz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Decided to end Drynuary tonight...for no other reason than I just want a bourbon followed by an IPA. Probably going with a Blanton's to start, followed by one of the Other Half beers I got from a release at DTC a couple weeks ago in preparation for this day. Might get on it pretty good for the US-Canada World Cup Qualifier on Sunday afternoon! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, the 120...a perennially great choice, as well as the 90 min. I just ran out to get a new bottle of bourbon since my 20-something sons demolished my stash over the holidays while visiting. I think Mrs. V also has a Conundrum and Cooper & Thief reds on chill. We are also tearing into these bad boys for the 3rd week in a row....we are huge Three Notch'd fans, and this one doesn't disappoint. As long as Wegmans keeps carrying this limited edition, we're gonna keep snapping them up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on the disappointment but try not to let it get to you too much. I don't know how long you've lived in the area, but you go through this enough around here, you develop hard bark, but still, ones like this can sting a little. I'm not into this one at all, given what's happening to the north and east. Yeah, yeah, expectations, climatology. All very logical, but this isn't the rational part of the brain we're dealing with, this is 200 proof subjectivity. I'm rare around here, I guess, in that to me, one HECS (say 18") is more than the sum of the parts of three (6") SECS or even two (9") MECS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 @Maestrobjwa - Definitely want to echo what others have said. You do seem to honestly want to work on it - and that's great!. But if weather makes you legitimately want to throw things in anger it might be crossing from being a hobby to being something unhealthy. I don't mean to sound funny - but what @Ji has sort of turned into his "thing" on the board - you genuinely seem to be experiencing for real on your side. Of course everyone has different interests/hobbies etc - but I've picked up a bunch of new stuff to occupy time between various weather events. It makes things way more tolerable. Anything from fossil hunting at Calvert Cliffs to getting a board game group together. Just things to bridge the gap. Get yourself into astronomy events or something - that way things like the Perseids meteor showers or cool eclipse events get you excited as well. Weather as a hobby should be fun - sure there's some disappointment built in - but it's like seeing your favorite team lose in playoffs. It stings and you keep moving to the next hobby or season. I hope snow/weather can go from being a stressful hobby for you to being one that you enjoy more wholly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how much new snow has fallen today - anywhere from 12-25” on the ground depending on the spot in the yard. DAMN. What a porch and overview. I'd sit out there all day, and (maybe) sleep out there, too in the summer. Well....maybe with a lot of mosquito repellent surrounding me. Is that your weather station at the background corner by the grill? What a gorgeous setup! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spend a ton of time out there in the warmer months…we have a two seat glider from a local Amish place on the other side of the deck under an awning from the roof. I sit on it and glide during a rainstorm in the summer or during a snowstorm. So relaxing and yeah, that’s the grill and the weather station (anemometer is in a different spot). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Chocolate milk coffee stout from Black Flag is pretty good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
