Man, I suck at this blogging thing...

The title speaks for itself. It's been like 2 months or something... ugh. Anyway, the prophecy of my last post didn't pan out so good. I was home in late April and most of May, and I didn't brew anything. Nada. Zip. Zilch. I had to defer to the judgement of SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) and pack up, haul away and clean out my Man Cave / Nerd Den / Brew House for some much needed remodeling. It sucked, and didn't leave any time for brewing.
I am a nerd of the highest degree, and all my friends well know how much crap I have. You really never know yourself until you have to pack it all in boxes and haul it away, load by load to a 10X10 storage unit across town. That was a major undertaking. But, at the end of the day, once the Wife and her brother finish with my office, it will have all been worth it. The room will look one million percent better than it did. The rustic barn wood on the walls had outlived their appeal.
The room is looking great, and it should be finished in the next 2 weeks.
I made the decision before I left not to bring back all my stuff and place it all as it was before the remodeling. One, you wouldn't be able to see all the effort Jessica and Jerrid pored into the room, and two... I have a lot of shit. I really don't want to haul it all back in again... call me lazy if you will, but I call it practical. I'm just gonna bring back the essentials and keep it bare minimum. This may come as a shock to some people, but they've never had to lug 32 boxes of comic books anywhere before.
Thirdly, by keeping things to a minimum, this will give me more working room for the Brew House. I'm hoping for me and Jerrid to start working on a 5 cubic foot keezer pretty soon, and it will need a home.
Everone needs their own space. I'm just thankful that the Missus is fixing mine up... Cheers!
