We're In Pittsburgh

And drinking beer at SN2's bar:


The drive itself was kinda-sorta the trip from Hell in that we hit a deluge of Biblical proportions.  At one point in time I was doing 45 mph in the left lane... and passing people.  I haven't seen rain like that since I was in the Pee-Eye.  Seriously.

More to follow but we are here... and we're drinkin' beer.

    Man, that's gotta feel good. Thanks for the update. Rest up, and dry out real good (I mean from the rain). ;)

  2. Ha ha that's great! A pile o' Penningtons palavering over a pilsner (or several). Family is where it's at.

  4. I love the bar! I'm thinking it needs a painting of a reclining belly dancer to hang behind it.

  5. Pittsburgh? It just struck me that you could look up Michelle (the Surly Writer, and a fan of the flightless birds, but otherwise she's nice.)

  7. Ahhh! Does my heart good to see the Pennington men all together in their natural habitat. A really nice habitat! Enjoy, and drink it all in, both beer and whatnot!

    Great photo, BTW. DIL even caught you with a grin on your face!

  8. You're lucky you weren't up here last weekend. The humidity was horrid. In the 90 degree range.

  9. Ah - now this is what it's all about. Kicking back with brews and the camaraderie of family.

    Sweet.

  10. Andy: It DID feel good!

    A whole case, but no one was counting. Although someone SHOULD have been. Said someone shall remain nameless (and it ain't me). ;-)

    Lou: The bar is a work in progress, which is a long, long story... too long for a comment. But I LIKE your ideer.

    Jenny: Thank ya, Ma'am!

    Moogie: The grin is a rare thing... Alisa did good work!

    Michelle: It ain't exactly dry today, either... compared to Portales. But we expected this.

  11. Looks like fun. And everyone had a place to crash, so it was smart fun too.

    What a great pair of sons. Lucky you!

  13. Thanks Paula... and everyone else! We had a REALLY good time last night. First time I drank at my bar; been in the house over a year and just have not had the right opportunity. This was definately the best way to "Christen" the bar.

    Thanks again everyone... I do enjoy all your comments on my Dad's blog.

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
