Sweet, then I have to do it...and does it have lots of stuff I can accumulate and have to move??  That makes it even MORE like the rest of the hobbies that I have.  Can't be heavier then my gun safe, and scuba tanks, and two motorcycles, and my woodshop - oh and the computers, and all my extra military gear...and the kids.

Most likely less expensive than the gazillion $$ I spent on backpacking equipment, but in line with the 1/2 gazillion I spent on scuba gear.  Won't go into the guns/gun sage, etc. since I need that for....... well I need it just in case & all the thousands of rounds, too.   


We should raised the kids outside in the dog pen mebbe - throw a few Ritz crackers at 'em and let them sort it out?     (j/k)

Home brewing could make a cigar habit look cheap Sean, by comparison.....     


Today will be drinking





Just out of curiosity, for any/all of you who home brew - Is a Negra Modelo clone easy to brew at home?

Anyone see "The Works" last night on History Channel? Great episode. "Beer Mystique". Was an excellent program on the history of beer; home, craft, micro, and large breweries, etc! Catch it if ya haven't!

Speaking of beer, I have a rough day ahead. Have to be at the golf course at 10:30AM to drive the beer cart at the Company Golf outing! Start feeling bad for me!

Hoist!

I'm at a conference so no tv last night - will try to catch that one sometime.


Howie - usually the golf beer carts around here are driven by nice looking gals, sometimes wearing a bikini top.   

Must now erase mental image of Howie driving golf cart in bikini top.
