Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

I think Grand Rapids got it's title it was because we have way too many microbreweries here.

Years ago, there were ticket in life that ensured that you’s be rich. Like owning a McDonalds franchise. That ship has sailed. These days microbreweries are the path so a lot of investors are getting into it. Wineries require more dedication and investment but the payoff is big. I see farmers moving into wine, both apple and grape. Setting up destination centers for families and groups.

One microbrewery in the country that I’d pass on the weekend started small and was constantly expanding. The facility is huge now. They offer an extensive line and have distribution. Despite the crazy high cost of their beer, on the weekends people have to park on side roads and walk a distance to get there. Motorcycle clubs like to tour these sort of places, they show up in the hundreds. Maybe all that will change.
 
That sounds wonderful.
A very nice ambience.
Who knew the best place to play the banjo was out in the woods?





Makes me glad there are no trees near my house! :meh:
Prolly the 'back 40' at his house.
On a semi-serious note, banjos were/are used as the chord instrument in street corner Dixieland bands because of their projection. Much louder than an acoustic guitar. And lighter than a piano.
 
Looking at what to my eye appears to be a bluejay, and I don't know beans from bongos about avian taxonomy. Surely there's a market for bongo beans? Or bongo beanies? Gonna take a pass.

What must be done today is complete a trip to the chemist. Three prescriptions to be picked up.
 
I don't know beans from bongos
