I would have been completely satisfied working in the garden this #beersaturday and then taking a long nap until sometime around 5 o'clock. At which time, given my strenuous day I would have enjoyed a nice cold beer.
That was my plan when I woke up. The Mrs. 
Easy there cowboy, I will get to it but here is a little something to wet your whistle.
Yea, the good news is this is how my day is ending but it was not certainly how it began.
Now it began with me planning on a lazy nap filled Saturday followed by nice cold beer!
Well this story has a happy ending as I am now enjoying a nice cold beer.
However, my long nap and lazy Saturday got scratched off the agenda by the Mrs.
Her plan, replace the entire nap thing, get off my lazy butt and go on a hike in the mountains.
Despite my protests, I found myself mumbling behind the steering wheel driving to the mountains.
When we arrived and began hiking there was a fork in the trail, the trail to the left was a short 1 mile flat hike down by a creek and the trail to the right was 5 miles long to the top of the mountain and back again.
The Mrs.
Yea so we ended up going to the right. Up and up we climbed along switchback after switchback until we reached the summit.
And then guess what. We hiked down the mountain, along switchback after switchback until, three hours after we started, its was time to head home where I definitely am taking a nap.
Along the way home I stopped to buy some beer for my after nap enjoyment.
Notice how I snuck my original plan back into action albeit delayed but never forgotten.
While I was perusing the beer selection, fate struck!
Some might call this divine intervention.
Well after my forced march over the mountain and back again, I had to have a suitable beer to finish the day, after my nap of course, as I am no longer a "spring chicken".
BEER NAME: Mountain Time

A great beer and an excellent way to finish a great day. Yea I said it, that Mrs.
Almost as fun as this beer I am drinking, but I would never tell her that, she might get a big head about that stuff and the next thing you know I am camping in the Wilderness with no way to have beer unless I pack it in myself! :)
TRIVIA TIME!
I have a #beersaturday tradition of asking a trivia question. The first person to answer correctly in the COMMENTS wins a BEER TOKEN.
The United States is divided into several TIME ZONES.
QUESTION: If it is 5 o'clock in North Carolina, what TIME is it in the MOUNTAIN Standard Time zone?
Good luck and I will see y'all next #beersaturday.
God willing and the Mrs.
