Vacation

I'm going to Cabo this weekend! Yay! except I'm sick.

Why is it that you cant get sick on work time or sit around the house time? Why do I have to get sick when I'm about to leave the country?

Hopefully Devin will be by to bottle his beer tomorrow, or he will have to wait till I get back next week. That means that the beer will be ready about Thanksgiving. It's been so long since I actually put it into a bottle, I usually put it into a keg and drink it.

I'll tell you about the trip next week.

Making Beer

Yesterday (10/10) Devin came over and we made beer. It took all day, he picked a recipe with 15 lbs. of grain which meant that to convert the sugar to starch and rinse it took about 10 g. of water, which meant that it took literally all day to boil out that extra 5 gallons of water. Eight hours later we finally added the yeast to the wort and we were done with exception of some minor cleanup.

It's odd that his recipe asked for so much grain then asked for brown sugar. Why not just add more brown sugar if you are going to be adding sugar not from the grain? The beer is now in the backyard being made into better things by the yeast. I'll let you know how it comes out in three weeks.

10/4/06 A Beautiful Day

Today was one of those days you love to live in Los Angeles! It was like 74 deg. Outside and a beautiful clear blue sky which I am not usually into, but today it was wonderful.
I tried to get some things done sense it was my day off. I went to the hardware store, got the numbers transferred from my broken phone to my new one and had lunch with Cute Baby.

For some reason when I got home form lunch I was extremely tired so I went to bed and didn't wake till like 4:3o. I got on the computer and checked the usual place then Maddy came home and we had TJ's frozen pizza ( not bad for frozen ).

Last Friday

My wife has been out of town sence Friday. After dropping her off at the airport poopoo calls me and asks if I wanna go rollerbladeing. I pick up Jamesey and head out to the valley to go skating which goes fine. No one falls not too many complaints about the heat from other than myself (I like to skate at night).

We headed back to Poopoos to make tuna sandwiches yummy! They came out well.

Later we went to Mimi's Cafe for soup and a salad. Lisa was gonna meet us but didnt make it.
she will meet us at poopoos to pick up a book.

It is now about 5pm and Melenie is asking us what are we going to tonight we say dunno. Melenie leaves and makes coppies comes back and says you are stilll sitting here is that what you are going to do tonight? Looks like it. We decide to get on the phone and have come people over to Poopoos. They resist Rita says no, Ryan is in the desert, Sofia moved to Wisconsin, Tim and Nicole are in Santa Cruz, Rj &Bj already have people over, Preston is in Seattle, Mike didnt answer (suprise), MLE she wants to go to Das Bunker (a club) and dance and is willing to come and get her kidnapped husband to do it, we fortunately we convience her to come overand bring marghretta fixins, Alia and Devin are "watching a movie" and will be over later, Seri says he'll "come."
So we're hanging out drinkin beers and conversating about life and what not and David finally comes home and brings wine (such a nice boy). Devin & Alia finally get there and we have a little party going. Agreat time was had by all.

It used to be that we would just call 3 or 4 people and the house would be full befoer you could count to ten. I guess we are getting old and moving apart, hell Deb is now in Irland.
