I love the sound of airlocks bubbling all around me. Got 2 bottles of "wine", or should I say "pruno" right here on my desk. 4 fermenters of beer going in the corner under a sheet... life is good... Throw the clock out the window!
I hate the sound of clocks ticking too. Maybe it sounds weird, but when it's quiet and I hear that sound, I realize that every tick is one second less I have to live....
But each sound of a bubbling air lock means I'm getting closer to beer.
