I don't really look at it as losing, I see it as not winning. I really don't give a crap if I win or not.

I just hope that a few more people make it past 9:00 Pacific time tonight.
I only get to peek at this until after the kid's in bed and I get my evening work started at least.

And I just started the mash. 45 minutes and I will start the boil. Man I hope it does not get to cold tonight. When it is really cold I sure boil off a lot 
Takes me a fair bit longer, but most of my time is spent setting up, putting away, cleaning, and sanitizing things, all of which you failed to mention.
Once my permanent 50A basement electric brewery (and adjacent commercial sink) is finally set up though, things should fly. I'm hoping for ~3 hours start to finish.
Of course you do, look at where you live! Kinda wish I could live there.
Ha! I've done that too many times. Finishing at 3 or even 5 o'clock sucks. I often was too tired and just left my cooler mash tun cleaning for another day, which would end up being 2 to 4 weeks. I really don't recommend that... I still have nightmares about opening month-old mash tuns.I just started my strike water. Hoping to mash about 9 or 930 my time so I will be here

A guy only has to do that one time to know they never want to deal with that again!
You aren't the only one guilty of it.

I need to try and re create a rye, coffee, overly hop bittered beer I made last spring.
It was way too bitter, but after I let it sit for a couple, maybe three months extra, it mellowed and was awesome.
The problem was I made it from whatever I had on hand and I through out the notes when it didn't come out like I expected.
Everyone loved the last gallon.
The first four gallons got drank while I was checking it to see if it was better yet.

Wrong me. That's what I'm talking about. I shouldn't have brought it up. Bobbylynn is the only one that knows. She aint going to say diddly. I would probably. Not on a public forum though.

A sign of an intelligent man.
There are things that don't go on the internet.
It's available for the world, and after you hit send you have to assume it's out there forever.
I had a couple things in mind, one based on your problems, the other based on what I've gathered about BobbiLynn.
I'll keep them to myself based on your comment.

Wow 45, it isn't that bad, but if it was? You'd be the man of discretion I'd talk to.

Well the gal has a lot on her plate from what I gather. I hope she knows we are here for her
Dang new pot took forever for me to get boiling right. I tried to take a photo of the steam but you cannot see the pot and the light is kind of a dull glow in the steam
Oh well it will be beer

Interesting.
Even without an archive like in that database, you have to figure screen shots, forwarding, being quoted and probably a hundred other things I would never think of.
If you post it, it can come back when you don't want it to.

I kind of gathered that she does look at this site as a venting / therapy opportunity.
As for your project, yes, it will be beer so it will be good!
Hell, I just wish I could sit and help drink it with you and about a half dozen folks on here!
A good time would be had by all, and after several beers we would be able to solve some of the worlds problems.

Heck yes we could solve some problems for sure and I would enjoy that.
You know you are not that far from me and in the summer I tend to cruise around in my camper. Ok it is a drive but dang that is why I bought the camper
I just checked the boil and this song came up on my MP3. For some reason I love it

Wow. Not my type of music but a very busy composition.
That can make music interesting, and lets you notice different things when you hear it again.
If you decide to head out anywhere near the coast, we have to hook up! Homebrew and if we ended up near a city maybe a brewpub or two.
I want to get back to north Idaho this summer if I can.
I miss living there and I would like to take my daughter to silverwood.

For sheesh I think about a year I drove weekly up to Cheney WA and crossed through North Idaho about every week. I love that area. Sigh I am trying to think of the passes there and all I can come up with is 4th of July and Lolo.
I can go there again if just to take my wife and show her the old mines and such.
Shoot I got to go and dump a hop. And put my fermenter back together again. I read on the forum you should take the valve out and clean it. Never did it for a year but nooo I had to go and tear it apart this time

Whitebird pass. That's an interesting one when there's some ice on the road.
I did a highway project in Cambridge, and another one in Riggins so I went up and down that highway twice a week for something like three years.
I was making the drive back ....... maybe around 2000 when it seemed like all of Idaho and western Montana was burning.
Twice I went over Whitebird while the smoke was so thick you couldn't hardly see the front of the truck.
where you all from? not all at once now.
Australia here initially, Colorado last 10 years. Nebraska fan.

Navy. I met my ex on a port visit to Perth around, hmmm.. 1984, we married 4 years later at a church in Cottesloe (spelled wrong probably). Was good for 12 years but she was forever homesick. The marriage didn't work out.
Lushife, grew up in NJ?
