First, I have a little black book in which I record the caps by brand, with descriptions just good enough for me to figure if the latest prospective member has a chance to join the collection. Then, I have a computerized "master roster" which keeps track of brand, how many of, which of the now six binders I have them in, and on which page, as well as the description location in the little black book. It can be a bit overwhelming, which is why I started this blog in the first place- to give me a photographic record. But if you thumb through back posts, you see that it is just about as organized as the little black book. Thus, I kinda get in the habit of collecting new contestants "off to the side", until so possessed as to update. Which as you can see, took me 468 days since I last got around to it.
Of course, this post is going to be a bit easier. Mr. McCarthy, whom I still hope the best for, has decided to unfriend me due to his inability to brook opinions not quite his own. However, Bobby G stepped up into the breach recently, and he has gifted me with a bunch of caps- several of which I already had, and one I almost forgot to include, even though I DRANK ONE WITH HIM!
This was a Guinness Blonde American lager, and considering my American inability to handle their usual "sludge", it was pretty good! Here we go with the rest of the update:
This first pair are obviously a couple of variations on popular themes I put in the book sometime less than 468 days ago...
Here you have the ones that Bobby passed on after valiantly disposing of their contents: the two Guinnesses plus the Harp. Next to them is a Michelob Amber that I found, a Coors Light that KC consumed, and a couple more that I found sometime in my travels. With the Blonde that sat in my room while everyone else got recorded and mounted, that brings us to a total (according to "compu-count") of 869 different caps. Thanks to everyone involved, and we'll see you in December 17, 2016 (or sooner...)
