I had one last little business trip to end the year today and it took me through San Marcos. So, I made a list and stopped by to pick it up and save shipping costs. They were hard to find, but they had everything I wanted....so, I did my Christmas shopping for me!
Gotta Kiwi Pear Mist, a Californacation Trinity White, and a Gwestomeyer (heck, only one guy in there could say that name and nobody could spell it, hope it tastes better than the word sounds). Stocked up on yeasts, blue carboy stand that I don't how I've lived without, some tannin, nutrient, and one of those big easy to read finish hydrometers in a pear tree.
It was like a bunch of bearded worker bees...they had 4-5 guys pulling, packing, wrapping, and shipping...non-stop action. We need to start a GoFundMe and help those boys get a dang sign so you know where they are...GPS says you have arrived and I'm saying I know where I am, where in the heck are THEY! We hooked up and it was their normal good service, great attitudes...fun stop for me anyway!
Did a side-side trip to Gill's CharBroiler grabbed a burger so juicy my elbows got wet. I was chowing down and did a little math...I've been stopping in there for over 43 years now....hell, I never even planned on living to be 43!! OK...best part...they make these Manske rolls...big a$$ one pound cinnamon rolls that have like a 1/2 pound of butter on each one. They are so good warmed up....massive gooey cinnamon buttery sweetness...I always get two...one I eat, the other one I just rub all over myself. I scored a dozen...gonna surprise the wife on New Years Morning.
Happy New Years Y'all!!
