My condolences...Best wishes to you, euge.

Losing your folks is  tough one;  in some ways, the ultimate rite of passage that generally sneaks up on us later in life.  Despite the maturity that comes with the years, it doesn't make dealing with this any easier. 
But in truth, they are still with you, for as long as they're in your thoughts.

The key to helping me deal with the losses  of my Mom & Dad 18 & 20 years ago was the good memories I carried and continue to carry.  Hopefully, you'll be visited in your dreams...I experience that pleasant  mystery myself quite frequently, even now after all these years. 
And I never fail to wake up smiling when I'm blessed with such a visit.

Here's wishing you peace of mind at a difficult time.

this is how i 'talk' to my parents. just keep those dreams and memories close to heart and you'll pull through it.

Time flies!

I can't believe Thanksgiving is here and the Christmas Holiday is upon us.

Time to brew another RIS. 

sure glad you mentioned the RIS. i usually make one every nov. and almost forgot to make one this year. my last one was fermented with lager yeast and aged in a whiskey barrel, damn its good.

Yes, and I have learned that I don't like to talk about cars.

that goes for me too. i've been a mechanic for about 40 years and the last thing i want to talk about at a bar is cars. somebody is always coming up to me and asking advice. do doctors give advice at a bar, i don't think so.

if you can find an oil cooler from a cummins/dodge diesel, it looks just like a therminator. i have one that has never had oil ran through it and plan on using it.
