The leaves here have started to turn. The first day of fall is Tuesday (I think). I've always enjoyed a good cider, but the cinnamon apple stuff from Angry Orchard just instantly makes me feel "fall" - tastes like Halloween night or something. Had a few tonight, and I have to say I enjoy it. It's no "beer" but if you like spiced cider, you'll probably like this one.

It's been a weird summer. Lots of rain and weird weather. I've hardly had the smoker or grill running near as much as a usual summer. Made it up into the mountains about half as much as usual, and only about 1/3 as much time at the range as a usual summer. Hard to believe it's almost over. It's been a good summer, but I'm sad to see it leaving so soon. Was hoping to hit the range tomorrow afternoon, but they tell me it's thunderstorm weather - might go anyway.
