So, to start this off I want everyone to know that I'm a pretty competitive person. If someone says it can't be done, I usually say something like "give me three tries!"
Anyway, the other day I had a couple (10-12) beers. I said something about my keezer project being done so my next purchase was going to be a NB starter kit and I'll be damned if I'm not going to make my first batch of beer.
In the process I had the (dumb) idea of saying I should refuse to drink and spend so much money on beer until my first batch of homebrew was ready for consumption.
Well, SWMBO said I couldn't do it. So naturally, without thinking, I said something stupid along the lines of "Action!" or "BET, suckah!" Which brings me to where I'm at now...
Somehow I ended up writing up this contract that was signed by myself, and SWMBO as a witness.
Well, the past couple weeks weren't so good at work and the starter kit I had originally planned on purchasing didn't find it's way into the budget, setting me back at least an extra two to three weeks on my original timeline!
My dry days start on the 24th and go until my first batch is ready, which, depending on when I order the starter kit, will be a month or so afterward!
50% of me says I should just tough it out and show her that I can actually commit to something (especially since she thinks I can't do it!). She's the best thing that has ever happened to me, she is awesome, and she puts up with a lot of my ****. She made it clear that I was the idiot agreeing to this whole thing and that it wasn't a punishment.
The other 50% of me wants to hire a lawyer and try to find loopholes in the contract...
Anyway, I think when I started to post this I was really looking for some outs, or some good excuses for me to renig on the whole thing. Thinking about it now though, with all the dumb **** that I do and put her through, I think I pretty much owe her this one, lol.
Wish me luck, guys.
