I never thought I’d want/ have kids until I did. And it’s been great, although there are definitely stressful and crazy times. But you adapt and figure it out. That being said, adding a third is going to push me over the top. I gotta figure we’ll make this work too. We’ll have to. I told my mom...

I’m not ready to tell family and friends. Oh, the questions and comments they’ll have.

I thought of that, but then I’d need bigger equipment. The cool think is that my oldest are now old enough to play outside while I do it without needing to be watched.

I got the whole kegerator hooked up (gas and liquid lines) last night. Kegged my Memorial Day IPA today and hooked it up. I wasn’t pleased with the flavor of the IPA, but hopefully carbonation, keg hops and being cold will change that. I still have room for one more keg, but I’ll probably just...

I found some time to work on my kegerator today. Added two taps, just need gas and liquid lines and I’m good to go. I have a half keg of a tangelo IPA I’ve have had on tap in my old kegerator and my ‘Memorial Day IPA’ I made two weeks ago can be kegged at any time. As soon as it’s complete, I’ll...

10 weeks yesterday, the size of a cumquat, I’m told. I received a lecture from my wife about drinking too much. I will say it’s been a bit more than usual, but nothing crazy. About 5 beers a day last weekend. I usually keep it pretty dry during the work week. What can I say? Beer makes my...

Funny, I love Scrubs and we’re currently rewatching it (again) and actually just saw the episode you’re talking about a few days ago. I actually chuckled about that part, as Turk is told it’s going to happen anyway, so basically get something out of it. However, that was definitely not my...

If only. I have parlayed this into a new kegerator, which I am soon to be adding a couple of taps to, and I’m planning to somewhat convert some garage space into a bar type area. But we’ll see how far that goes- I’m not very good at building things, nor do I have that necessary garage space...

Let’s just say... there were times that I was a hostage. I was just comfortable with believing it wasn’t happening when...

Well, it’s happened.

I get it. I feel so stressed all the time with the two kids I got as it is. And no extra time for myself. Can't imagine having three kids and being able to brew more than a few times a year. I will say, things should get easier for you once your kids are able to play together. A ways off, but...

Update: earned 3rd place in a local home brew contest today with my rye IPA! Pretty stoked about that. Set to brew a pale ale next weekend. Still no sign of a baby (knock on wood) but had to have relations the last few days because "it was time" so we'll see what happens.

37 and I usually have 1-3 a night on weekends, maybe 1-2 total the rest of the week. Trying to be a good example for my kids.

Great. So today would have been a perfect day for brewing, but I somehow screwed up and didn't take advantage. And to make matters worse, I'll probably end up having sex tonight anyway. EDIT: Yep, I knew that was going to happen.

Ah yes, I've been meaning to update everyone on my... activities. The relations have increased, that's for sure. Still no sign of another kid, which is a good thing, in my opinion. I'm wondering if our ages are playing into it a little; maybe I'm running out of seeds. As for the brewing, I...
