For Father’s Day Noah and Chantelle bought me The Complete Joy of Homebrewing and The Home Brewer’s Companion. I’m almost done the first book and I already love it. It starts off with a short history and a quick intro to extract brewing. The Intermediate brewing section I found mostly useful since that’s about where I am with homebrewing. The info about different grains & hops and what results come from each are very helpful. The book has a bunch of recipes and information about creating your own recipes, which is where all the fun starts. The later sections of the book go into more ‘advanced techniques’ but I didn’t really get much out of that as I haven’t gotten into mashing and all that yet. I’m not sure if I will as it seems like quite the process.

The only thing that I started to get annoyed with is the amount of times the books says ‘relax, have a homebrew’. Ok, I get it.. just stop repeating yourself!

Take it for a read if you are thinking about brewing your own beer, or have at any time before. I highly recommend it.

Classic Soundgarden.

I think it was the first time Noah had actually seen some sort of waves so he was taken a little aback. I love this video as you can see him watching the waves roll in for the first time. He had his trusty red shovel and of course, some seaweed that he picked up zombie walking across the beach to the waters edge.

I had thought about it for a while now and since most of the work that she does is wood burning, I wanted to have that represented some way in some icons or logo. I first was doodling in my sketch book some time back a logo mark that combined the letters of her store or name.. and ended up with a leaf looking logo that fits perfectly into the scheme of her work.. A big 6, with a small E at the bottom turning into a half & symbol.. all looking like a leaf and voila, what you see.

I haven’t started any sort of design for her site but I think I know what direction I want to go, but who knows, in a week or so time I probably will have gotten side tracked again and completely change my mind.. again.

Chantelle and I both knew he could crawl, but he managed to avoid it for some time by alternate means of getting to where he wanted to go. This usually involved rolling around or simply turning in a circle… so it was just a matter of time until he actually started to go mobile.

Future Noah, it was your mom’s idea to post these on the internet…

Here’s the video:
