Shawn+dawn=Lawn (not!)

I'm drinking a Budweiser.  I'm not particularly enjoying it, but it is a far cry better that the last 2 brews I've made myself.  Tomorrow Shawn and I will bottle and pig (a three gallon keg) the beer we made the second half of our tasting party on March 13.  I was at his house last weekend when he transferred it to the secondary fermentation tank.

It's a light summer ale with lemon  peels thrown into the mix.  I took a sip and it tasted like sunshine.  It had a cloudy orange hue at that time and it measured (Shawn figured), at 3.3-3.5% ABV and had just a slight refreshing lemon finish.  I want to give a bottle to each of the guys from the tasting. Hell, a 12 pack of it and let me at that chainsaw!

Did I mention that the bud isn't the first of the night?  I actually got out early tonight and the ever forgiving daylight hours even allowed me to give the dogs a walk in the evening..  The walk didn't last too long as we saw Shawn raking the lawn about 2 doors down.  He had his 2 labs, Tyson and Chip, out with him so we ended up doing a doggy drop-in, (it's kinda the canine version of a play-date).

He may be going away for the summer for work and among other things, he asked me if I was interested  in keeping a eye in his bees while he was gone.   Me?  In a bee suit?  Get me my camera!  Be prepared Nak, you may meet them yourself. (I think he has 2 bee suits).  With luck there'll be some lawnmower left too.

Speaking of... Beau, any ideas or dates of when you may be able to 'help" me this spring?  Things are bad at work, with a lot of people leaving, but if we go under, I may have a lot more free time, and my back yard could use some work.  You like bees too, right?  Three words:  Honey, Brown, Ale.  Or hop the hell out of it. I don't care.

I may need another bud but that may not be necessary as I've had some other "bud". I've got homework but I may be able to do it tomorrow after bottling, but maybe not.
