      Maybe so. Maybe not

        Spent the last few days driving around Michigan, visiting friends, and just generally enjoying fall…

        On the road heading up to Traverse City...

        Swung by a friends place.  He's very dedicated to cider making, and this past summer he started planting an orchard for personal / home use.  All kinds of fun / weird / old apple varieties.  Can't wait to see what the project yields in a few years time…

        They also have a lovely view out their back yard…

        Yesterday I grabbed a coffee and a fancy "poptart" that was basically shortcrust with a super tasty apple filling…

        Then I went hiking around up on the Old Mission Peninsula (a picturesque peninsula that juts out into Lake Michigan).  Pyatt Lake is one of my favorite spots, especially in spring when this place absolutely packed with wild flowers of all kinds…

        This time around the trail / forest floor were covered in leaves…

        Pardon the poor focus, but there were some beautiful fungi sprouting all around…

        Someone brought a nice rocker down to the lake…

        And the lake itself…

        And now a much bigger lake.  This is the view of Lake Michigan while driving down along the west side of the peninsula…

        Went down to Lansing (the state capital) last night to visit with a few more friends.  Didn't take many photos, but I was able to swing by one of my favorite coffee shops before skipping town this morning.  Had a really fantastic lemon zest donut…

        And now, a few highlights from my soundtrack on the road…

        Sarah Louise - Deeper Woods (one of my favorite folk albums of the year)

        Kate Tempest - Let Them Eat Chaos

        Remember Sports - Slow Buzz (favorite punk/emo/whatever album of the year so far)

        Marissa Anderson - Cloud Corner

              If you dig that Sarah Louise record, check out Itasca. Saw them both on the same bill a few years ago.

                Great pics!.. What brewery are you looking at btw?.. Come on: spill the beans!.. Barrel aging program and sours doesn't really narrow it down  😃

                Beans are ready to be spilled…  In a few weeks (as soon as my car arrives in MI from HI) I'll be moving out to the Catskill Mountains in New York to make beer at Catskill Brewery.  Can't wait to get out there...

                Also, the jacket is on it's way and should be landing with @celik real soon…

                  The eagle has landed in New York. This is truly a great jacket.

                  Heading down to Richmond, VA tomorrow night to visit family for Thanksgiving. Please excuse the dirty mirror and my toothpick, haha. I just wanted to snap a photo right out of the bag. More (better) pics to follow…

                          Made it to my mom’s house in Richmond, VA late last night. This morning we had a really nice breakfast and my brother-in-law stopped by with my nephew and he showed me how to use the nutcracker. Now it’s time for naps before preparing and cooking for Thanksgiving dinner.

                            We’re trying out a new (to me) method of cooking the turkey this year called spatchcock turkey:

                                        Turkey looks great. We did ours the same way. Some of my favorite breweries are in Richmond.
