| Lake Atlantic. Holidays, 9/5 |
Hit the beach yesterday afternoon for a quick surf and some grub. Got the grub. I say, "you don't know until you go." When I got there, I knew. Report said knee to thigh. A cell phone picture says a thousand words (note - all pics in this post - cell phone, dude). The Right Coast version of the legendary lake effects...Lake Effect Surf. Saw a dad and his boy on a couple of body boards. Even a father-son sponge session seemed to be for naught. Didn't even pull the board. Dinner was good though. Opening night of the NFL. Nice.
Speaking of lake effects, was out in the Lake Michigan area over the past weekend doing a birthday tour for my Chicago Girl. We hit a fav hot spot. Solemn Oath Brewery (otherwise known as SOB). Located in an industrial park in Naperville, IL. This place is a rock star. Beers are off the hook, with some serious, original, off the wall names. Did a Belgian-American Black Ale called "None More Black." Smooth, nice carbo with a one and a half finger head. Excellent lacing. 7.5% ABV though it hit in the end. Spicy roasted barley, grapefruit-citrus aroma. The 80 IBUs give a fresh, satisfying hop kick in the finish. One of my few A+'s. Seriously. Made for a nice evening.
