CATAGORIES: BEER WINE SPIRITS, CULTURLA & PENTURLA, GENERAL NONSENSE, MUSIC, PANASONIC LUMIX DMC-LX3, PHOTOGRAPHY, VINYL — Yarbz @ 9:04 am

Yesterday was a nice cool and breezy fall day. It was in the upper 50’s most of the time. There is nothing better than sitting outside in crisp fall weather holding a liter of Oktoberfest microbrew. We had all the windows open in our walkout basement and the afternoon air flowed through the room. These pics are from that day, yesterday, which was very relaxing and enjoyable. We had to kill the beer so I would not drink it later! Now there is no beer in the house and won’t be for some time…

These are un-cropped full frame images. Most were taken in 16×9 mode but a few are in 3:2.

We watched Logan’s Run last night again on our 50″ Panasonic plasma. This was taken in the aperture priority setting. “Jessica”, played by Jenny Agutter is too hot. I have always liked her and had a crush on her when the film came out in 1976.

This is the digitizing of Pink Floyd’s Saucerful of Secrets (as I think of it, this may not be that album but it doesn’t really metter…). I picked up a German pressing import for a buck at a tag sale in Winsted Connecticut. At the same tag sale, I got several Velvet Underground albums, Pink Floyd Ummagumma, Miles Davis on an original Blue Note pressing, two Yardbirds albums and many others. It was a great find. All the vinyl is super clean too which is not always the case at tag sales.

A shot of the stereo in the basement. You can’t see it, but there are a lot of heavy sound waves flowing in that room!

This is Mariann in our backyard wearing a sweater I bought her for her birthday in June. This was the first opportunity for her to wear it. It’s a hand woven wool thingy from Peru I think. If not Peru, some place similar…

My boot, my beer and my pool. The pool is not swim-able anymore due to the fact that the water it 55 degrees. We may add a heater next year and will be able to use the pool all of May and thru October… We shall see if funds permit.

Mariann with a liter of Oktoberfest from the Pump House in Albany, NY. It was a terrific beer and it will be a must day trip when Florida Bill or any other Jugghead visits. It’s only about two hours away and it’s a beautiful drive in the hills to get there.

Here is the beer. It’s a big beer. This time, it’s an India Pale Ale from the Pump House. The IPA was as good as I have ever had. I didn’t take a photo of the growlers but they are photo worthy too.

A close up of Mariann’s beer with her sweater as we sit beside the pool in the chilly fall Monday afternoon. I had taken it off because of our anniversary. I am working today but today is the actual anniversary. 13 years.

This was taken my Mariann and is a very rare photo of Yarbz. It is backlit but is passable because of the rare subject matter.

This is Satchmo sitting at the bar. He digs sitting at the bar as he occasionally gets treats there, just like the humans.
