That's a lot of bottles, you guys better get to work!
Hi Lord Mod good to be back in the realm.
Alb was always with us popping in and out so when Rick didn't mention her I wondered if she was still jumping in. I sure hope so.
For me it seemed like all the sudden there just weren't enough hours in the day anymore for stuff that needed doing... BEWARE turning fifty folks it's a weird, weird thing; I think we must just add more "chores".
I moved 14 cases of bottles from Texas to Virginia and moved 28 +/- from Virginia to Greenville. I confess that I have a curious fascination with all things beer bottle in home brewing.
I have over 9,000 posts on "another forum", which means absolutely nothing. Mr. Beer January 2014 Brewer of the Month with all the pomp and circumstance that comes with it...

Well dang RedBEERD I'd already put you firmly in the category of family the day I saw your first post. I felt that BeerBorg pull swelling in you the moment you typed the first few keystrokes.
Your Bro knows what I mean; we are just a way close bunch of folks defying the fact that we only (mostly) converse online.
I hope the meet-ups get, darn it can't think of the word, but in general more popular and well attended.
I have raised a pint in the general direction of my former hometown, NOLA; cheers to you and BL.
You're a sight for sore eyes, Michelle. You sound good. How's Andy doing? I sure hope things work out good for you in your new place. That's quite a collection of bottles you got there.

We are so thrilled to see our beloved JoeC back on the Borg. How truly does the term that we are a "collective" describe this place? We may go away for a while but we will never leave.
Love you and SWMBO Joe you guys are awesome beyond description.
