Tuesday, October 17, 2006
Wet, drizzly, overcast, rainy day blues ….. perfect day to read & study. Finally able to get into the dentist to re-glue my crown. I have to laugh at some of the ‘things’ I do. Some of you have seen the Southwest Airlines commercial where the lady finds herself in the men’s bathroom. “Want to get away?” is the slogan. After spending considerable time at a Panera Coffee shop, I marched into the men’s room somewhat puzzled that they had removed the urinal. Much to my surprize, upon exiting, I noticed the bathroom across the hall was labeled “Men”. Opps.

Huge furniture show happening this week in the area. Expecting over 150,000 buyers/sellers. Met one last night, he’s from Wisconsin. Name is John. Lives in Oxford. Sat around the fire for several hours. Most interesting furniture designer. Not sure what he’s writing in his blog about me.

I’ve attached a few photos of the campground and a ‘working’ barn located about a mile from here.
Heading back to Apex for the weekend to help Jim brew a Belerusian Imperial Stout.

John,
Looking forward to your arrival on Friday. I am preparing the yeast for my second brewing of my high gravity "Russian Imperial Stout" I have renamed the beer primarily because my friends from Belarus and Germany helped me brew the first batch...there is even a movie of the process made by a German colleague. I just finished the last bottle of this beer, shared with the CARBOY homebrew club and received a warm round of applause for this 3 year old mature brew. I expect we should end up with a beer around 9.5% to 10% ABV with a FG of 1.018.

Cheers

Jim
