Sorry, man. Take heart in knowing I love you.:D

I just want you to be smart with your money, is all. Student loans are meant to be chipped away slowly. Put that money in your savings account so you can buy a house and brew however the hell you want.

Bribes, eh? Fine, everyone who donated to my membership can PM me their address and I'll ship a couple of 'em when they're done. Under condition that they STFU afterwards.

No no. Not bribing you at all. I was merely offering advice with respect to this post:

Take that money and take the wifey out for a nice dinner, get her drunk, come home, take some pictures.....

I thought it might help with the "get her drunk" part.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. However, I really would appreciate advice on choice of barleywine. Considering the fact that I have never had one, which one would be a good example to try?

They cannot legally keep your deposit because you brew!!

How is brewing effected by fire codes? As long as he is just stove top boiling. It's no different than making soup!

+1 for saving to buy a house! Screw paying someone elses house payment.

Meh, it's IP and Data that really know how to mess with me. :p At least you toss me a few easy ones from time to time.

And I'm saying, right after paying off a $3100 credit card, I think I'm ok in rewarding myself with a couple things I normally wouldn't be able to afford.

Yeah, that's me, Mr. Softball.:p

We won't change your mind, so go for it. Just keep the advice for future reference if only to delude us into thinking we helped when you announce you've bought a house.:)

Southern Tier has a nice one that is both malty and hoppy. I also used to drink the Barley Wine from Chama River Brewing Company in ABQ, but I hear they've gone out of business. Do yourself a favor and if anyone you know has a keg of it, bring a growler because you will want more.

I don't mean to get under your skin or even annoy you, it's just the sense of humor I'm used to using with friends. We harass each other nonstop. I don't do it to some of the old men on here (*cough*shecky*cough*) but you seem to be in the same time line as me at least :D

I agree about rewarding yourself. paying off $3100 is a good feat.
 
I can't believe everyone is still lecturing.... Burner, spend you money the way you want and don't let these old dudes :p tell you not to. I spend almost all my money on my house as well so I don't feel bad at all when I treat myself. People who aren't willing to live a little have less fun.

No digs, I just know what its like paying down a bunch of debt and wanting to finally get something tangible for yourself.

And then you go screwing up just BEGGING up to jump on you :ban:
Chama River was the first micro Brewery I visited when starting my traveling for work! ****ty food menu, decent beer that I remember. Lame Tshirts.

Eh, this is my "clear out some debt for homeownership" year. Next year is my "Throw my tax refund at whatever debt is left and save up a down payment" year.

Because, dammit, I want to be in a house before I'm effing 30. And I want to be in a house before I have kids.

Slow down there, sonnies. I'm not in the grave yet. And IP, I think I've proved I can go toe-to-toe with the likes of you.:D

They had a pretty decent cheese fondue. I actually don't remember anything else from their menu, and I used to frequent that place when I lived there.

He is right there. The bastid has never spoken to me, so consider yourself lucky! :D
 
Meh. Quit apologizing. It makes me look like a softie and gives y'all license to be all that more brutal, because, hey, you apologized. :cross:
 
I suppose I should have italicized old dudes for the desired affect. Just ribbing ya.

And Sheck, some people can pull off suede bell bottoms, never let anyone tell you you aren't that person.
 
I think I found an old pic of shecky.... Not too sure though.

I won't. I'm tall, I'm thin and I'm wearing a rockin' pair of high-heeled boots.

For some reason, Stevie Winwood's voice is in my head. (Take that, you whippersnappers. Bull will get that reference, and maybe even BK).

haha, I'm the one trying to keep up. The old man line is just an easy one that's always on stand by. I'm the youngest in my department by at least 10 years so it gets used frequently.

Guess that proves the shotty menu if you frequented the palce and still don't remember anything.


Man Brownie, No Matter where you go, people (Shecky, Dataz, and I are going to hijack your threads!) Maybe just stick to posting on weeknights past 5 on weekends when we are not going to be brewing/browsing.:mug:

Personally, I would not bring up that you are relatively young in a business setting. I have never found a time that it is advantageous to be younger than average. The only reason I made the joke here is because Shecky et al. researched my profile to find I was younger and called me out in some other thread.... he had it coming, I just waited a while.

What, nobody wants to take a run at this one? Wimps.
 
yea spend your return getting barleywine
Click to expand...

OK, so I'm thinking $100 on the counterflow, $40 or so worth of barleywines, $10-20 on a 6 gallon Better Bottle, and maybe a 40qt stockpot for full boil, what, another $50-100? Or a small freezer and digital temp controller that I might later be able to turn into a keezer. What would that one run me?

Then you have not thought of service jobs that require lots of travel and long hours. These positions are more often filled filled by young guys than older men with established families and home lives.

I really hope you were joking when you said 80qt.
