Saturday this weekend was spent in the Focus. we participated in the Spring Run organized by the New England Rally.

the premise is that a bunch of people get together and drive somewhere as a group, have lunch, drive somewhere else as a group, have dinner, drinks, socialize. sounds great. this years course was Rt 1, all the way to Maine.

there was good and bad; i won’t get into the specifics here but a few misunderstandings led to 1/2 the day being unpleasant. all in all it was 15 hours spent mostly in the car, and i don’t know if i can convince my better half to do that again.

Sunday we started out with plans of productivity, and to brew later on in the day. by 1pm i called shenanigans on our intentions of productivity, and we headed to Kettle to Keg for brewing supplies. that afternoon/evening, we brewed a batch of Double Brown Ale as an end-of-tax-season celebration. afterwards, we followed up with a Golden Ale recipe designed to be a drinker and not knock one on their respective sorry butt on a weeknight.

that was the weekend. at some point, we need to look into this ‘relaxation’ we hear people toy with on their 2 day break.
