Damn Jim, glad y'all are ok. I've been outside brewing in the rain all day. It got a little heavy at times, but not tornado heavy.

I think this just might be a bad time of year for ordering hops. That and they are getting a lot more demand year after year. Next time your ordering and the site tells you they're out of a particular hop go to the Hop Union site and peruse their guide for a suitable replacement. It won't be exactly what you want but it's better than getting raped with all that shipping. And WAY better than not having at least some home brew.

Thanks. I ordered from them also. They did not have all I needed. I was just frustrated. If that LHBS (that was supposed to open last spring) don't open soon, I'm gonna go nuts, er.... nuttier.

Glad your alright jj, those big wind tunnels can get scary.

Bare( ) with me folks, I'm the kinda guy who can break a anvil with a rubber mallet. Computers have never been one of my strong points, heck my phone still flips. Anyhow, I've always gotten the hand me down computers from my wife. That's not changed, but now I'm going from a Dell to a Mac. Been playing with it a hour now and I REALLY like it. All my pictures are still on the other one for now so no kilt pictures today, sorry.

I've always wanted a Mac, but could always buy windows computers so much cheaper so I never got one (yet). I really like my Iphone, so easy to use. A Mac is in my future.

DOH!!! Just before THE Borg Meet Up to beat all meet ups! Hope it doesn't mean we will miss all the good stuff from the trip.

BB2's "puter fried after a power outage and we were trying to get a laptop as replacement in time to do the learning curve before our trip but it didn't happen.

Totally get the transition problems you've got to go through; fortunately you've got Bella to sit in your lap to help you through the stressful stuff so you should be fine.

Don't forget DWRHAHB is handy when you get to the fold out/map like/totally unhelpful stupid numbered pictures/graphics instruction sheet that came in the box comes into play.

A smallish doe at 8:00 Saturday morning of the first day of Minnesota's muzzle-loader season.

As you can see I'm more interested in eating venison than hanging racks on my walls. This one came in with a small buck behind her but I figured I had the doe permit (Minnesota runs their deer hunts back-wards in my opinion. We need a permit - chosen by lottery - to take a doe but any deer license can take a buck) so I decided to take her and let the buck go.

They're an animal that never ceases to amaze me with their will to live. This one took a .54 cal ball through both lungs and still managed to put two hundred yards behind her before she gave up the ghost.

She sure looks tasty Chuck!

My neighbor brought us some venison tamales. Never had that before.They were delish!

Nice job Chuck!!! Our regular rifle season starts tomorrow here in PA. I have yet to get one with the smoke pole, but tomorrow could be the day as my 16 year old wants to use my British 303. Congratulations.

Way to go Chuck! It's been too darn cold to bow hunt here of late, wind chill is -30 this am... no way I'm going out.

I stopped at my favorite beer store last night to get a six pack of a winter ale to take to a winter ale tasting this Saturday night. While I was there I was talking to the store manager about a number of different things. We ended up talking about darker beers. He asked if I had ever had Triple Digit Brewing Chickow. I told him I had never heard of it. He told me it was from Cincinnati and that it was a Double Brown Ale brewed with Hazelnuts and that it was awesome. He disappeared into the back room and re-appeared with one 12 oz bottle of it. He handed it to me and told me it was his last bottle and to take it home with me. I was floored. I looked at the price tag on the cap and it was $14.99. Wow, what a nice gesture. And $14.99 for a 12 oz bottle, yikes. I'll have to drop off a couple bottles of my beer as a payback soon.

That's way cool Chris.

I've found a few Home brews given here and there have been rewarded many times over.

Good night of bowling tonight! Won 2 of 3 games and had a great series. Shot 289, 269, 248 for an 806 series. Happy with the night overall!
