Making some beer for Christmas

It has been 5 years since the last time I brewed a batch. I used to brew at least 3 or 4 batches a year but just have not made time. I even used to teach a homebrew class for Fresno Adult School. It was fun. This was an American Amber Ale. It should be done by Christmas. I also bought grain & hops to make an English Stout so hopefully this batch will be done and I can re-harvest the yeast to do that by Saturday. If you like real beer and want one for Christmas, be sure to let me know... just be sure to give me back the bottle when you are done.

Chuck Norris Friday

The three long months of my water polo season are over and I once again qualify as "having too much time on my hands" so here we go...

There is no such thing as tornados. Chuck Norris just hates trailer parks.

Upgrade

Over Christmas break, I spent a ton of time editing video so I took the proceeds and built a new computer. This summer has been more of the same so I decided to look into filling my memory slots. I had 3 slots open so that meant room for 6 more gigs. Since the memory now costs about half of what I bought it for in December, I filled em up. I was really surprised how much it improved everything. I only expected to see it when rendering video with multiple processors but almost everything is faster. It used to take me about 2 minutes from power switch to Windows boot. This time it was done in just over a minute.
