Good morning my friends.....

It’s been a long last nine days for me.

Let me explain.....

Two Saturdays ago I got a call from a very good friend in a jamb. He is a general contractor who does additions, new construction and renovations. We’ve both been in business for over 25 years now and have worked together on dozens of jobs.

Well his number one guy blew out his knee while doing a tuff mudder run that day and was having surgery to repair it.

So he called me for a favor. He had a deadline of October 15th to complete a job that required several doors to be hung and tons of molding as well. He was stuck on a job in Connecticut and couldn’t leave and needed someone that was a finish carpenter.

I am already barely making my own deadlines, but agreed to help him out anyway. I ended up working on the job for him eight hours each day then going back to my shop to work on my own jobs.

Things got a little tricky over the weekend when I had a two day install of my own that had to get done. So the last two days have been a total blur, working crazy hours to get the job done for him.

Monday night while I was finishing up the final touches on the job, my buddy showed up. First to check out the job, second to pay me.

But he didn’t come empty handed either. He had a six pack in one hand and a pizza in the other.

Well now that I’ve bored you to death with my story, I’ll get to the post.

The six pack was from a brewery named Dogfish Head. It was a seasonal pumpkin dark ale.

Here’s a pic....



I’m not typically a flavored beer or ale guy, but this was really interesting and had a great finish to it. It surprisingly went really well with the pizza. Well maybe I was just starving....

Here’s some info on Dogfish Head. They are a hand crafted brewery that is out of Delaware. They’ve been around since 1995 and are known for there seasonal hand crafted brews. I don’t know how far their product is distributed but if you happen to see it, I recommend giving it a try.

Well back to work for me.....
