I get a lot of Burlington Beer for the club, so we hit the brewery, and food was good. Got a flight of the Falling for Fall and it was a nice selection.

Frost, was on the way, and asked for their favourites for a take out 4 pack...

It would be rude not to stop at the Pro Pig on the way up for some burnt ends and grits and other fun dishes.

Last evening, our DEI Committee at the club hosted a skills tune up clinic as part of the season start up, with members and local area curlers, and it was a great night :)

The other day I was at the doctor's and Restaurant Depot is around the corner and I've the club card on my Google wallet, so swung by and got these bangers for pretty cheap, $15 for 5lbs box, less than x2 regular pack. Not the best in the world, but they're still solid for a sausage sarnie...

That's a great can design too.

Last night's curling got done early. We were the side buying the drinks.
Lucky enough to snag a case of this limited Theory of Tides collab between Equilibrium & Vitamin Sea, a fab, hazy, smooth 8.2% DIPA. Saving it for after Zombiespiel, but it would be rude not to pull one up early for myself...

Well the early morning weather has reached pert levels of chilly then...

Annual check up and rabies jab for Mr Bond... And like all of us, he could do with losing a pound or so, and we've been recommended a behavior specialist to help with his quirks, but it's otherwise healthy.

Kevin Bridges was the show last night and he was fantastic! He's performing again tonight in Boston if anyone fancies it.

Night cap at the Rock & Rye after, always a good spot.

Almost 2 hours to go 23 miles downtown, why do we do this?
Finally hitting French Quarter in Boston and a show is why. This place lived up to the hype.

Equilibrium Ein-Stein Oktoberfest marzen was last night's sample net.
A solid 5.5% drink, not as malty as Aeronaut's Oktoberfest, but a little more but than Great North Aleworks Marzen Rover.

For those of you wondering what the #trans ban in #curling would look like, I present to you the policy.

I call it "Cowardice in three Acts"

We, of course, start with talking about "safety" of female athletes and "fairness"

I know this feeling. Doesn't matter if one has kept themselves gym fit over the off season, or just hits differently when you're sweeping on the ice.

Oh that would be lovely! I could send you a Broomstones pin too.

Not a big pilsner guy but I've been wanting to try this and my rep gave me a sample along with a few others I've been wanting to check out.
Equilibrium Helix, 5%, and it's rather good. A little bitter, fruity, and refreshing.
Now that the regular at the club is having a price hike might get this.

Nice...

A Random Bloke @arandombloke.bsky.social · 6d

Thanks!
I do need to hit the mid west and west coast though, as I'm very easy coast heavy.

A Random Bloke @arandombloke.bsky.social · 6d

I had friends that moved down that way, and got a pin when they came back for an event at the club :)

It was a fun weekend. Really happy to add a Chicago CC, @curlthezoo.bsky.social, and our new club pin to the #curling pin collection :)

Love it! And it was great you were able to introduce our club to your friends at Charlotte!

So happy for you guys, especially as the C slog was brutal :)

Fueled up with the folks, before we head to the club for finals, and the folks head back to Maine.
