I sat inside while the family played.  I managed to catch Poison Ivy and I had to stay in the AC because it was on my face and close to getting in my eyes and the sun made it itch that much more.  I couldn't sleep due to the steroids.  Went to watch the fireworks and it rained.  Let's just say I've had better days but I've had worse by far.

I sat inside while the family played.  I managed to catch Poison Ivy and I had to stay in the AC because it was on my face and close to getting in my eyes and the sun made it itch that much more.  I couldn't sleep due to the steroids.  Went to watch the fireworks and it rained.  Let's just say I've had better days but I've had worse by far.

......OK so maybe I don't feel so bad about my troubles and tribulations with my brewing escapades yesterday.  Wow what a crappy day.  Hope the poson ivy thing passes soon.

 The wife's family came out for the weekend so we had 11 for dinner on Friday, 10 on Saturday and 6 yesterday. Did up some steaks and teriyaki salmon on Friday with tomato, mozzerella with fresh basil and corn. On Saturday we had a lobster boil with little neck clams, shrimp, new potatoes, and grilled keilbasa. Sunday we kept it simple with some burgers and dogs and corn, I mean it was the 4th of July weekend after all. Everyone behaved themselves and my wine collection took a bit of a beating, but not too bad. Lots of G&T's, Sea Breezes, and cold brews.

 I even got a round of golf in on Saturday, only my second round of the year, what a crappy spring here in NY. Nicest weekend of the year by far.
