Summer began with a Riley smile.
We were hanging out at my parents house, and I posted this to http://TaylorHabicht.com

Heading to Indianapolis for work, and I had some time in the airport.
I’ve got the raging part down pat.
I met up with my sales guy, Russ…
And we headed to Rock Bottom Brewery.
The next morning it was time to meet with the customer.
Afterwards, we walked around for a bit…
And found this aptly named establishment.
Who am I to say no to good beer?
Time to head home.
A night in Baltimore led us to Nick’s Fish House.

A turtle I found in my front yard.
Riley was very interested.
It seems I found the best man speech I wrote for Mathew’s wedding.
While Kelli was in Atlanta, I went with Kristi and the kids to the beach. See the Album “Family in OC Summer 2013” for those pictures.
Kelli came to the beach when she got back from Atlanta, after making a stop in Kent Island with her bowling partner, Hippy.
I found where the turtle was hiding under my deck.
Of course, there is plenty of wildlife in my neighborhood, like these deer.

You know you want to join us.
As like any dog, Riley loves it when the window is down.
I got to meet Adam Benesch, one of the founders of Union Brewing.
I reorganized the landscaping bricks in my backyard to make them look nicer.
Riley doesn’t always get to have the window down.
A night at my brother’s house…
Which included a dip in the pool.
More biking…
Followed by beer drinking.
After hitting Victorias, we decided to keep drinking by visting Union Brewing in Baltimore.
We were given the tour by co-founder Jon Zerivitz.
And checked out the ready to ship beer.
Their operation is small…
But I love their beer and hope they do well.
From there we headed a few blocks away in Baltimore for more beer.
Food was on hand, too.
Not being done yet, we headed closer to home to finish the day.
Later that night it was time for the Chef’s table at Aida’s with my parents.
The food is always good…
And I would highly recommend the experience.
You have been rolled.
Making way for the library, and we donated all the old dining room furniture to charity.
I stopped by a farm…
And bought some bales of straw…
So that I would have a target for Ashley to practice archery.
I bought this basic set for $20 online.
Later that night I stopped by Victoria’s for a little treat.
The beginning of turning the dining room into a library.
The furniture was custom built to fit the space.

Another night in Baltimore, this time at Victoria Vox’s house.
She had invited us over for dinner and drinks.
We all had a great time.
Afterwards, Victoria and Katie played for us.
A fun evening was had by all.
I found this frog inside my door AFTER opening the door. The frog had wedged himself in the door frame while it was shut.
More library work. Here they are cutting the molding to fit.
I don’t play as many video games these days, but I still like to go for Xbox achievements.
The lamp we picked out for the library.
The process of finishing the library took several weeks…
But was really starting to take shape.
Out for drinks at Tersiguel’s…
And then across the street to the brew pub.
Kelli and I made the decision to stain the library ourselves.
So she did the shelves and doors, while I did the rest of the furniture.
One day’s work…
And I assure you, it was WORK.
We went to DC that night for a show.
Iration was playing at U Street Music Hall…
And we got to meet the band afterwards.
The staining took all weekend.
But in the end, we were very happy with the color.
Lunch time camera fun.
Truffle popcorn, my favorite treat at Victoria’s.
Date night in Baltimore to see the movie “Computer Chess”.
Tapas Teatro is always a fun place to go before and after a movie at the Charles Theater.

With the staining done, it was time to put the finishing coat on.
This is a process that took another weekend of work (and then some). First coat done.

I have one on my vehicle, too, just not as old.
Beerporn.
Taken with my phone. Do you see Riley?
Football time…
With the Ravens Roost.
Late nights in bed.
Working on organizing my CDs, and Riley found a good place to sit.
Of course, laying in the sun is OK, too.
How you know you’re in a classy joint. I love that they have to specify no “dirty” apparel.
But hey, when you’re with good friends, who cares what you wear.
My old stereo from high school is getting a second life.
We now needed a carpet for the library, and there is a good store on Main Street in Ellicott City.
Here is the one we bought.
In Baltimore at 8×10 to hear Nate play music.
More biking…
Followed by drinking.
Kelli is a great cook!!!!
I had lots of left over, half empty bottles of booze…
So during a football game Joe helped me drink them all.

And she and Ashley go on rides together.
Goofing off while hanging out.
Another night in Baltimore and we got to meet the members of Rebelution.

Hanging out with Kristi and the kids again, and it was time to walk the dog.
Ashley and I have been going for longer bike rides, and she can now do about 4 miles.
He looks like he is smiling.
Band night, which happens weekly, but I rarely take pictures.
Trinity died, and these were some pictures I had of her when she was a puppy.
Wine time…
At the Maryland Wine Festival.
We love us some Penn Oaks Wines!!!
Afterwards we walked around before heading home.
They got smart with me, so I told them to find the car on their own (they couldn’t).
A post-wine fest tradition, Maryland steamed crabs.
Now that, is some good beerporn.
Joe came over agian for some more football and drinking.
Kelli joined us….
But decided to take a nap.
And then later, Peter joined us, too, to say goodbye to summer and hello to fall.
