Time to kick back and enjoy the summer. Let’s hope we have a summer of low humidity and zero mosquitoes. Who knows how to cut down on the mosquito population? Any good tricks?

I found a couple of good brews to help make me less tasty to mosquitoes.  Notice the moonhowler to the left.  Then there is Raging Bitch.  I have a few of those in the refrigerator, just waiting for a summer Christening.  Then there is the old reliable, Blue Moon.

This weekend is supposed to be another great weekend.  Let’s use the open thread to share events and good recipes for the grill.
