Pretty solid lineup here at Hop District! (La Grange Park)

Now it's over to Lyons. Pretty tasty beer lineup here!

Somehow I seem to have found myself in La Grange.

The buses will run on specific schedules, like a typical city public transit system. We're finalizing details those this week. Watch for announcements from @furfest.org once we post them! In the meantime, here's the infographic from last year. Expect things to be similar this year (plus the Loews).

On Saturday I wound up meeting up with @mirkowuff.bsky.social and going to Emerson & Oliver, a wonderful speakeasy in Woodstock (IL). I flinched when we walked in to what felt like loud live music, and we were seated directly in front of the stage. The musician was Dan Fester (danfester.com) and...

Tonight I got to meet Star, one of the dogs that @mirkowuff.bsky.social is fostering (not shown: her sister Amber, who has about 30 lbs on Star. She's a big girl!) They're both very sweet, and further reinforce why I could never foster dogs. Once they're in my house I would never let them go 🙂

I love that these two are pretty much just accepted as part of the neighborhood now, and I can look up to see them strolling by.

After a very long week, beer and a tasty sandwich for dinner was exactly what I needed. Now I'm sitting here thinking it's too early to be this tired. Is it the shots affecting me so soon? Then I remembered…oh, right. Five hours of sleep, that'll catch up with you.

The whole thread is interesting from a local-Chicago-history-geek POV, but this glorious out of context quote was too good not to share. www.reddit.com/r/ChicagoSub...

Five hours of sleep is plenty, right? Anyway, happy Friday!

Dinner tonight: Chicken Alambre! www.seriouseats.com/chicken-alam... It's delicious! The chicken was marinated in adobo sauce from chipotle chiles, plush some minced chipotles mixed in, so it's got a bit of heat.

I appreciate the fact that my current favorite beer on tap here is "Flock of Beagles".

The Soundgrowler Grand Cru Belgian Quad is so-so, a little thin. The Omnipollo In Plenty Imperial Pastry Stout is pretty good, but not anything exciting. (The Drekker and Avery festbiers are…meh.)

It's a little larger and a bit darker than I expected, but overall I love my new sectional sofa!

It's been a rough day. I'm so glad it's Friday.

Yep, 2"-4" in Chicago as well. Time to avoid viaducts!

I neglected to post this wonderful photo of @wryote.bsky.social with her canine horde, featuring (in order): - Archie, he of the single brain cell - Banjo, aka "Triangle Boy" - Gale, the refined lady who puts up with their shit. They were all just wonderful, and Kuna is always delightful company!

Having a light breakfast before catching the car ferry (I may eat half of this, if that much!)

And to close out the night, a beautiful sunset over Lake Michigan.

Before departing Traverse City, one last stop for coffee (Seismoto Coffee). The latte was good, the cinnamon roll kinda meh.

I get what they are going for, but my first thought was "NIOSH has a Dutch division?"

A photo of a license plate the reads “N10SHNL”

Baked bacon-wrapped, Manchego-stuffed dates with a pinot noir/merlot blend. Quite a lovely pairing.

I'm kind of sad I don't like their ciders more because I'm all about their logo!

Sutton Bay Ciders; so-so cider, but you can't beat the views from their patio!

Duncan da Husky @duncandahusky.wolfhusky.org · 11/09/2026

It's 75°F/24°C, there's not a cloud in the sky, and there's no one else around so I have the patio to myself. This does not suck.

We begin today's travels at Heartwood Cider…

Holy shit. I've been all over the country and I've FINALLY found someplace that understands that Portland's food cart model is fantastic (The Little Fleet, Traverse City, Michigan) Bonus points: some damn fine craft cocktails.

In a delightful synchronization of schedules, I was able to meet EddiKat for lunch at Biere de Mac Brewing for lunch. Great conversation and tasty Belgian beer - time well spent 🙂

An unfortunate thing this morning, though - I slipped getting out of the shower and went down in a heap. Nothing too damaged aside from a slightly wrenched shoulder and a nasty mark that will become an impressive bruise.

An artfully cropped photo (y’all don’t need to see that much of my butt!) of a red and angry looking mark that will likely bloom into an impressive bruise.

It's a beautiful day in Marquette! Random pics: an employee downtown doing their best, a Mike market on the Iron Ore Heritage Trail, a panorama from atop Mount Marquette, and a pause for a break at Drifa Brewing (soon to shut down, alas)

A long day of driving requires some relaxation time. And refreshment of course. This is the Farm Barbie.

As if I could pass through this area without stopping here 🙂 #uglydogs

I have arrived in Duluth! I elected to approach via Skyline Drive and I'm glad I did. Great views over the city, Spirit Lake, and the St. Louis River. And now I'm having a healthy salad for lunch!

I'm taking my time with no real plans today, so if I want to stop to enjoy a coffee and scone next a pretty lake, I can! (Forest Lake, MN)

Other items from my stop in Minneapolis: humorous slogans at The Black Forest Inn, an açaí bowl at Honour Coffee (which was tasty despite the concerning blue syrup) and an outrageously good chicken sandwich from Porzana.

Thanks to @robypanther.bsky.social for putting me up for the night, and sharing some delicious meals! Also it's always entertaining to see these two little monsters (Max and Winston)

It turns out that living in Connecticut and New Jersey until I was 14 has left its mark.
