The Boston Beer Company was founded in 1984 by James "Jim" Koch and Rhonda Kallman. The initial beer offering was Samuel Adams Boston Lager, a 4.8% abv amber or Vienna lager. Koch, the sixth-generation, first-born son to follow in his family's brewing footsteps, brewed his first batch of the beer in his kitchen, using the original family recipe for Louis Koch Lager. At the time, Koch was working at Boston Consulting Group after receiving BA, MBA and JD degrees from Harvard University. While serving in his role as a manufacturing consultant at BCG, Koch developed a business plan for a locally focused beer company. He invested $100,000 of his own money and raised additional funds from investors, family members, and friends including former classmates and BCG colleagues.
Because Humble Oil was not the first to register "Enco" in all 50 states, it was forced to drop the name in deference to Earl Nunneley Company (also known as "Enco") of Texas.
Founder Earl Nunneley's famous quote on the name dispute was "It cost Humble more money to change all of their stationery letterheads than it would have if they'd simply bought my firm."

It does look like a very conformable ride. Also, the exhaust smells like BACON.

Yesterday's return of the neighborhood Moose:
Munching time:
Contemplating moving on:
Uh oh, my cue for moving on:
Accompanied by my hasty retreat:
For this Friday eve - A salute to the guys protecting our skies.
From moments ago, a USAF AWACS plane followed by a returned from its aerial mission F-22 Raptor:
Had one of these flying over my house for the Boston Marathon
At about 300 feet.
