Happy 52nd HB 99

[loopmd]

Just checking out the boards and noticed Homebrewer 99's b-day is today. Have a good one. Any plans for the big event? I'm bottling up some 10 lb Hammer today. I'll do it in your honor!

H.b. H.b. !!

Thanks everyone...the big 52!

Yesterday I brewed a Cali Common. Today's menu includes brewing a Hefe Weizen...there's a surprise!

I'm feeling pretty good! I paid the house off last week. Damn! It took me a whole 2 years and 2 months for that one. Now I am totally debt-free! (I know, how UN-American!)

All I have to worry about now are killing the grubs on my 2 acres (not that I've seen any).

Only 3 more years to retirement, but I might hold out one more after that (it's hard to turn down the $$$)!

Congrats on the mortgage! Time to buy a bigger house!

 

[Brewiz]

Have a good one!! I'll be hitting the same mark in Dec.

Congrats on the mortgage! Time to buy a bigger house!

2900+ SF and over 2 acres is enough for 2 people...

 

[homebrewer_99]

Thanks to everyone and you know I'm having one just for you...

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

Happy birthday! Now you can start working on my mortgage.

 

[homebrewer_99]

Sure...is this gonna be like a timeshare?

Sure...is this gonna be like a timeshare?

Could be, if you wanna help me brew batches! Close to Ft. Bragg, too!

 

[homebrewer_99]

I know. I was stationed at Bragg 3 times. I left there the last time in '99, but I've been back several times for work and pleasure.

We still have friends around there.

I've also been to F-V, but that was way back in the early '70s.

We've got stoplights and a Wal-mart now.

 

[RichBrewer]

Happy Birthday HB 99! Sounds like you are setting yourself up well for retirement.

ENJOY!

 

[Brewsmith]

Happy Birthday! :rockin: Since you have the house paid off, why don't you shell out the $10 to become a paid member? You've posted enough to practically earn one.

 

[the_bird]

Maybe we should all chip in like $0.25 and buy him a Gold membership for his birthday... we'll all mail in quarters to TxBrew until his dues are paid.

 

[Beer Snob]

52nd.... I always figured you were 99...... Not that your still not an old fart Its just now I realize you are less of an old fart

Happy birthday Bill! This place would not be what it is without you!

 

[homebrewer_99]

Thanks for all the nice words fellow brewers. I try to do my best, but sometimes get up on the soap box. Sorry for some of my rants, but like they say...it was a good idea at the time...

RichBrewer: I am doing my best to set up for retirement 13 years ahead of my father.

Brewsmith: As for the membership, well, I almost paid today just because I wanted to post pictures. I'm not sure if I'd ever use all the other perquisites (that's "perks" to most of you).

Baron: I can see the Walmart, but why the traffic light? HAHAHA!!

Beer Snob: Short story is I found it faster to type in 99 instead of 93 when I first started brewing...and the name wasn't taken.

 

[Toilet Rocker]

Hey Bud, Sorry I missed it...hope you had a blast.

 

[Darth Konvel]

Woo, happy (belated) B-Day!

 

[homebrewer_99]

Thank you one and all.
