Mealey's Tavern
New Market finally has a bar...a real bar! Believe it or not, it's in Mealey's. It's been a long time coming, something I have dreamed about since moving here almost 8 years ago. I've often been heard criticizing New Market for not capitalizing on the thousands of people who live within it's reach. Until now, there is no reason I would consider visiting historic New Market during the week.(Except Mama's Pizza). No reason...unless the unforeseen antique emergency pops up during the week. Given the old fashioned decor and clientele of Mealey's I was pleasantly surprised by the new tavern. Very nice..warm and cozy. Don't get me wrong..there are still some holdouts in the tavern like doilies under the apps and flowered plates but hey...I'm not complaining. Great start guys! Beers on tap.... Wild Goose IPA, flying dog pale ale, flying dog gonzo imperial porter, blue moon, sams seasonal and uh...amstel light. Ill probably regret this when there are no seats at the bar but if your a local.... definitely check it out
40 Foot Brewery
Oatmeal Coffee Porter. Dont think this one will make the Bliss but I have others and...this post should at least shut Spearman up. Nevermind...I don't think that's possible.
Some like it hot, I like mine about 225-250 degrees
Also added a larger coal basin which is nothing more than a $8 stainless steel colander I bought from Walmart. Getting about 10 hours at 250 degrees now. Shooting for 15 hours, next step is insulation. Picked up a standard electric coal starter for and bent it at a 75 degree angle for convenience in starting.
Big Terra Cotta Egg kinda thingy..
Made some additional mods to my diy big green egg. Handles to adjust the dampners.
In The Streets..yeah, literally
Returning from In The Streets. Can only take so much stroller dodging and standing shoulder to shoulder with strangers.

Spotted a bunch of these posters in downtown frederick last week. Looks like they were designed by a graphic artist and the posters ranged in size from a postcard to nearly 4ft x 4ft. What Im getting at is that someone put some time and money into these posters but they overlooked some details. The picture of the bike is highly stylized...almost like it was made into a vector image. and they are black and white.. I'm a bike guy and I have no clue what type of bike this is....and I'd have no idea if I were standing right next to it while reading the poster.

Can't really see it in this pic but that's a dead billboard in times square displaying a windows error message popup window.

Take me to the master...
The subway system is generally clean..the exception...Fulton Street. Im sure there are plenty more but Fulton is the only time I've ever felt like I was in a bad 80's flick filmed in ny. I was ready to be mugged by a group an chinese thugs wearing mesh shirts and headbands.

Be spending the next 4 days up there. My ears popped on the way up in the elevator this morning.

NYC always has some of the tightest bathrooms. (Yes I am actually taking a leak in this picture) ;)
Good World
First bar of the week...Good World, cozy little dive in Chinatown. None of those fancy joints for me. Definitely trendy but in the tight jeans, t-shirt amd tattoo kinda way.
All Aboard..

Portable island is getting more use than expected. Don't know I didn't think of it sooner. Actually thinking of upgrading to a larger 8 person version already.

Glad that experiment is over....going out of my way to drive exaclty the speed limit, be very light on the gas and even draft off the occasional tractor trailer managed to get my mpg's up to 26.5 from the normal 22.5 I get. Minimal savings...considering the contrast in driving style. I think I'm going to remove the roof rack and go with a hitch rack to see what that gets me. If I remember correctly, I think I was getting an additional 20-30 miles out of a tank..more

The Berg
I did manage to get a video from Iceberg....I.shot this one. Alex coming off of a little rock drop near the end. Only a small kinda lame sample of what Iceberg has to offer.

The spiteful jackass farmer is back at it again. The thing that sucks is I only run into him if Im already running late. He seems to have backup with him since the incident. It angers me knowing he does it purely out of spite but bbesides that I could care less. Other peole freak out...waving their arms in the air, cursing, turning their vehicles and burning off.

Performing a little experiment this week where I try not driving like an ass in order to see how much gas it will save.

OK, so I can't afford a big fancy pontoon boat like many of my neighbors but I can afford a Coleman air matress and a kayak anchor. Kick out into the middle of the lake, toss the anchor and it's a nice little party island away from the screaming kids on the beach.
