Eight hours 'till Freedom.



Just to show you that even Country Boys clean up every once in a while....


I've got a busy weekend ahead of me. Well, maybe I should use a different word. 'Busy' gives you the impression that I will be running errands and doing paperwork, which is clearly not the case.


Tonight will be another gathering of the inaka boys at my place here in Toei. Usually these nights involved whichever one of the Big 4 is in stock at the store, yakiniku, and a visit to the local bar. I know, you are already jealous.


Tomorrow I'm heading into Nagoya for the quarterly Asahi Factory Tour and 'shopping' with the fiance. We are going to hit up Keg Nagoya before we come home...so if you are in the Nagoya area--hit me up!



Sunday is the annual spring sake festival at my buddy Shutaro's Iseyashuzo in Toyohashi. Lot's of folks, lot's of food, and lot's of free sake. Should be a good time.



The Olympics are dominating the TV these days, anyone out there watching? Anyone out there agree that curling is the most ridiculous sport ever created in the history of the world? I think that beer can smashing would be much more fun to watch.

Enjoy your weekend with good beers.

Curling is the bomb! How can you not like cute girls sliding along ice?!?!?

DH said...

Maybe it's just me...but I prefer girls in bikinis on the beach!!

Chris Poel said...

Yeah, but that would just be silly in the Winter Olympics!

Red said...

Yeah, not quite sure what makes it a "sport"... However, I have curled before, and it's not easy. Might be kind of fun with some of Chris' BakaYaros...

Speaking of which, I'm planning to be in the Numazu area around March 30 -- Chris, will you be around that week?

Chris Poel said...

Red, March 30 is a Tuesday -- I'll be around, but we're closed on Tuesdays. So, if at all possible, shoot for the 29th or 31st. And yes, I'll be there -- I'm pretty much always there during the week (weekends are a different story, with weekends being Friday and Saturday for me). It'll be nice to have a chance to chat in a quieter and less hectic setting!

Chris,

I think March 31st will work out just fine. I'll be with my 7 year-old daughter (we take a daddy-daughter trip every Spring). I promise I'll cut her off at 3 pints...

Seriously, I'll be back in touch as the date gets closer. Looking forward to finally making it to Numazu!
