Make beer?
But this is what I picture when someone says beer-making...
Grain mill
Food scale
Five-gallon carboy with tap
A stack of books
Yards of plastic tubing
Kettle for cooking, copper tubing for cooling (we forget its proper name and the brewmaster is downstairs)
Basement sink - brewing was banned from upstairs after an explosion busted a dining room window and threw shards of glass into the newly plastered ceiling.
Hydrometer
Kegs and CO2 charger in 1965 GE fridge (freezer on the bottom - great item!! donated by Penn College, refurbished by Lou)
Chemicals and stuff
The stove caught on fire and has been replaced by a propane burner (probably from a turkey fryer)
I hear there are $100 kits available...
================
Icicles at the office
Uncle Dudley and her new cocker spaniel puppy Jude. He's four months old.

Spotlighting
We passed Fallbrook Road, where we had taken pix last April (e:heidi,51874) and I wanted A to turn around so we could head out towards the cemetery and the compressor station we saw last year.
As soon as he headed toward the berm, I knew we were stuck.
A nice couple comes up in their chevy truck, asked if we had chains. Nope, I don't keep chains in my truck. They say they're headed to the Legion just over the top of the hill and they'd ask if anyone had chains and could pull us out. Another truck stopped, "Got chains?" "Nope."
Next, a frack waste water truck stops. He's got chains and a thick Southern accent. Our local fire chief, who also owns a tow truck (and I have his # in my phone), pulled up behind us. I'm sure Shawn got a chuckle out of it.
A hooked up the chain.
And he towed us out. I should have tried video.
He wanted to tow us to the top of the hill but we said just out of the snow would be fine.
So yeah, irony abounds. Uncle Dudley thinks the out-of-state gas workers have been instructed to be nice to the locals whenever they have a chance.
[A says I should have gotten out and taken pix, the snow was really deep where we got stuck.]

The other major attraction is Market Street, a quaint Victorian-era street of shops, restaurants and bars (Market Street Brewing Co.). The Rockwell Museum of [American] Western Art is just off Market. :::link::: Corning is close enough to Watkins Glen and/or Ithaca to make a wonderful weekend out of it. They both have amazing gorges and trails. :::link::: Ithaca has Ithaca Beer Co.
Corning also only about 45 minutes from home, and 50 minutes from Wellsboro where the Pine Creek Gorge is.
I was there because A had a gig at the East End Pub (pix soon). It wan't Nascar-themed in an intentional or interior-designer way, it was just the stuff the bar had collected most of. Yuengling Lager is my default mainstream beer because it's so accessible in PA like Blue is here.
