It is that time once again! Time to take a look back through the photos since the last Zekely and see what I got up to. Usually makes for a good story, helps me remember some ofthe neat things that I photographed that would have otherwise been forgotten, and check those late night party shots for that special brand of madness.
This week I covered some serious miles working and adventuringbetween beers. Strap on your drinkin' socks and lets do this!
Regular readers will have seen this shot before as I had the chance to visit a micro brewery I have written about multiple times but never been to. The facility was great as you can see here https://steemit.com/beersaturday/@zekepickleman/beersaturday-my-trip-to-cowbell-brewing and the food was neat as you can see here https://steemit.com/tasteem/@zekepickleman/tasteem-da21ae
My favourite part was the rare and limited time gems I discovered in the interesting looking growler fridge. Mango Infused Hazy IPA was the best beer I had ever had from Cowbell and didn't last long in the fridge.
While I wasn't looking, winter seems to have stepped in. Generally, we will get a dusting of snow as autumn trudges along but it doesn't stick. So far, we have a good blanket on the ground of a few inches and it is threatening to stick for a little while at least. Shovelling for now to keep it managable but I may have to bust out the snow blower if enough comes down.
With the frost came the final harvest of hot peppers. I had picked all of the peppers that turned red a couple weeks ago and left the last stragglers to get a taste of frost in hopes of turning them red and perhaps making them hotter? Apparently, hot peppers get distressed and end up hotter which would be great for the chilis and habaneros. The damn ghost peppers don't need to be any hotter and are really painful as it is.
Speaking of peppers, my snacky dog found out the hard way that all peppers are not created equal. She grabbed this one that fell and tore into it heartily. After a few crunches, she started into licking fairly often and eventually abandoned the jalapeno for the water dish. She may only do that once.
Before the snow flew, I found a bunch of other locals who like to park on their damn grass! In a past issue of Shit Zeke Sees https://steemit.com/shitzekesees/@zekepickleman/shit-zeke-sees I dove into the local phenomenon of townies parking on their lawns. I see quite a bit of this and thought it was just a summer thing. Here, we see the leaves are down and the grass parking continues. It will be interesting to see whether this is something that continues into the snowy weather.
I had a chance to visit a place you generally don't want to visit. A funeral home can be a neat spot when they become your client and you are partnering up to help folks boost their online presence and business. As I expand our marketing company, we are adding a blog to the blockchain covering marketing tips, client stories and even promoting STEEM as a viable part of the small business social media strategy. If you care to follow along with our progress there, you can check out https://steemit.com/@town-crier . It should be good for some stories and helps when you show the business owners the posts and interaction as they consider coming to STEEM themselves.
A few of the boys got together after hockey to celebrate one of our teammates turning old (40) This is as close as it gets to late night carousing this week unfortunately but perhaps we will pick up in the coming weeks for pictures of silliness.
I did end up having a big night but apparently the phone didn't come out of my pocket on the pub crawl. Maybe for the best. We watched Midway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midway_(2019_film) which ended up being very good and went on a pub crawl. The only pic is of this yummy local IPA from my 4th favourite brewery in town. Best I had by them too and I will probably buy it again!
Actually, upon closer examination, it appears I lied. Here is a pint on the pub crawl and a rather enviable list of some of the best craft beers in town. I THINK it was the Flying Monkeys Hazy IPA but can't really remember! I may have to go back and ask.
That is about it for this week's edition. Coming up, I am delving into a little #thoughtfuldailypost, maybe get some ladders shots and stories together, and back to training Jiu Jitsu a little more seriously as I have a tournament to fight in at the end of the month.
Thanks for hanging with your buddy Zeke!
