RCE 2015 pairings

[Banjo-guy]

Thanks for setting this up Dave..
Beer rust I'm looking forward to coming up with a recipe together! I'm using my original ID of just plain Banjo-guy. There is no one after my name.

I'll send you a message.

Hey, family comes before anything, even brewing. As long as you get some beer made, it's all good (although, if the baby's due any second, you can kiss that goodbye).

There will be another RCE right around Labor Day, so keep your eyes peeled.

Labor Day? You mean Memorial Day, or will we have to wait till September?? HAHA.

No, I do two of these a year; one shortly after Christmas (hoping to rope in guys who got kits for Christmas) and one around Labor Day, when people are back from vacation, and the weather is more conducive to brewing. Also, given the amount of time it takes to make beer, it doesn't seem as though doing more than these two is worth it.

Of course, anyone who wants to hook up with another Borg member independently and collaborate on a recipe can do so at any time. You don't need me for that. But the formal, official RCEs are mid-winter and Labor Day-ish.

Okay, great! I was just wondering. This is already so much fun, and we haven't done anything yet. Thanks for the info!

Dave,
Just saw your PM. Sent one back. Looking forward to working with you.

Well, e-mailed my partner, no answer. Guess he does not want to do one with me, that or he is busy. Just as well, I'm now not going to be able to do one for quite a while. If Knightmare shows back up Dave, you can assign him a new partner if someone else wants to jump in.

What they thought my mom had, a stroke, turned out to be brain cancer. Things are not going well, my daughter (an RN) and I are heading there soon and don't know when I will be back home. Could be in a week, or I could be there all summer, I won't know til I get there and see what is going on. I'm told they have a good cancer Dr. which is a good thing. They need my help, I told them I will stay as long as needed so we will see. My son is going to move out here to be with my wife, she should not need much unless we get hit with snow..... she can't even operate a snow shovel properly, no way will I give her the keys to the snow blower... sad but true... LOL. Got several buds close to here that is also going to lend a hand so she will be ok.

Stinx, I have a brand new shiny brew pot that will be dull and covered in cobwebs before it gets used. O-well, got more important things to take care of. I am taking my puter with me so y'all won't be able to get rid of me, I'll still be surfin, giving those MN guys a hard time.

[FedoraDave]

I'm sorry about your mom, Froze. Go ahead and take care of business; everything will still be here when you get back.

My own partner has PM'd me a couple times, but he's apparently not as active due to the weather and other things, as well. That's just how it rolls for some folks, and there's no hurry in getting anything done.

All the best to you and yours.

FIT, I'm very sorry to hear about your mom. I hope she gets the care she needs to make a full recovery. You're an awesome person for taking care of her!

[FrozenInTime]

Thanks. I'm back home now, have been a couple weeks. This friday I'm headed there again. The chemo has shrunk the tumor by 75% already. She's going to be fine for a while, she's a feisty old gal.

[Beer-lord]

Glad to hear this news. Sorry for my lateness but I am glad things are looking up.

John,
A 75% reduction is fantastic!! Hope all continues to go well. Is it thawed out enough up there for packages yet? How did your Wife and Son make out while you were gone. Have a great day.
