Knocked out a batch of Ruination from Mitch Steele's IPA and my all Galaxy IPA this week. Had to dust off the equipment, been way too long. Feels good man.

Yup. I mowed my yard for the first time this year yesterday. Looking to get some tomatoes in the ground perhaps this weekend.

We're icefishing here...

Sunshine, physical exercise, rest, and nutrition. Kick the meds as soon as possible, they're poison. Don't ask me how I know. Good luck my brother, life is good.

Wow. When it rains, it pours. Sorry for your losses. Deaths are always hard but the struggle on the employment front can eat you from the inside out. Been there. Hang tough, it will get better.

Dude you need to look at the signs. You've got a reprieve from that POS dwelling you want to buy. Again I would run away as fast as I could from it.

This.

Exhausting.

I tried to take the faucets apart by hand, no dice. Hopefully the LHBS will have the appropriate wrench.

It's the same wrench used to remove the buttstock sleeve from an AR-15. So you don't have to get a uni-tasker.

That is good to know.  Since I already have the tool I might as well get an AR-15 now

Absolutely.

And who doesn't have AR-15s and kegerators?

Ahem. 

  Please do not post questions before Oct. 22.  I wanted to give everyone a heads up to start thinking about what you might like to ask.  I'll post more as we get closer to 10/22 to remind everyone and let you know when the question period is open.

One final thing... Start that 2nd batch ASAP. The first one will be gone before you know it.

SO this... Welcome to the madness, err, hobby, uh, lifestyle...

Just picked up 4 ounches of 2012 Galaxy and 6 ounces of 2011 Nelson from Nikobrew.  I've never used the Galaxy before but I made a really nice late hopped pale ale with NS last year that was a big hit at a club meeting.

Love Galaxy, almost 2 lbs. in the freezer still... Makes a great single hopped IPA IMO.
