This is the leftovers from the delicious, enormous (2 lb) ribeye steak we had for dinner tonight.

Somewhere in this box lies the blame for our lack of heat yesterday.

It would appear our heating boiler needs a new circulator pump.  Fortunately it’s not completely dead, but the house is very slow to warm up this evening.

The first snow of the season — a wet, nasty snow, but snow nonetheless — falls on Quincy Center.

I discovered that our 2nd floor thermostat was slightly mis-programmed, and was making the bedroom 2 degrees warmer on Sunday night than any other night of the week. I wonder how long a lack of a good night’s sleep has been sabotaging my Monday mornings.

I think we’re good for meat, for the time being.

I do like to wear this shirt, but I generally will fix a computer for relatives or close friends, particularly when bribed with beer or food.

All gone

Time flies like a banana.

The beer I brewed last Friday is ready to rack to the secondary fermenter. I think this is going to a good one — true to style (Saison), with a nice spiciness from rye. It’s nice that I can do this work in the basement, now that we have a sink down here.
