Again at Destihl for lunch (and probably for two more weeks until the end of @jackieLbrewer’s class). I’ve again got the hoppy porter Imperial Release the Dark Within. She’s drinking the Hazy IPA.
After walking at Allerton, we’ve stopped for lunch at @monarchbrewinco. I’m drinking their Wicked Pissah NE IPA and @jackieLbrewer has picked a selection from a brewery 50 miles south, the Effing Brew Tyrant’s Blood red rye IPA.
At @SevenSaints with @jackieLbrewer drinking today’s feature: St. George single malt. Very nice whiskey, even if it’s not especially scotch-like, considering it’s made from malted barley.
While @jackieLbrewer was working at the bakery there was a cash register glitch. For several days they took credit card payments on paper, writing the number down by hand, and then entering them manually at the end of the day.
Those customers would have been totally secure from being able to buy bread.
I got the first order of my Field Notes subscription, so I thought I’d do a quick unboxing post. The first thing I noticed was that I had the box upside down.
With that problem fixed, I was greeted with the Field Notes motto, a sentiment that has appealed to me since I first met it:
From that reinforcing message I moved on to the contents:
I had promised to share the notebooks with Jackie, and she immediately wanted the packet with Rocky Mountains, Great Smokey Mountains, and Yellowstone. I claimed the packet with Joshua Tree, the destination of the best camping trip I took during the months I lived in Los Angeles.
The next step is to get over the hesitation I always have to start using a nice notebook. Part of the reason I got the subscription is that I’ve been actually using my notebooks lately, which gives me some confidence that I actually will. But another part is that I’m hoping having a nine notebooks (plus three more boxes coming over the course of the year) will make starting any one notebook seem a little less fraught.
Jackie got a coupon for a free entree from @Houlihans for her birthday. We’re both drinking the @BlindPigBrewing UofIPA. @jackieLbrewer
