I think my neighbors think I'm an idiot. First I have to explain to them that all the steaming pots aren't meth. Then I have to give them beers, which they probably dont appreciate anyway. Now, I was waved and honked at, I think I even saw someone point and chuckle, this morning as I washed my car in the rain.
Years ago I had a neighbor, and old Mexican man, who would wash his car on the same day of the week, no matter what. One day I questioned him about, and he pointed out that a dirty car is a dirty car whether or not its raining. Since that day I haven't let the rain stop me from washing my car, and am actually inclined to wash in the rain. If its been raining all night and I get home from work all of the dirt and bugs are soft and wash away very easily. I don't have to dry it either.

I visited Alaska (Kodiak Island) in June of 2009. It was great for a fishing vacation with my Army buddies, but I knew immediately that I could never live there. I'm looking to move someplace slower than where I live now, but that was far too dead for me. I'd end up in a nuthouse or jail within months!

My wife has been here since 1984, moved up with her family as a teenager. They lived out in Bethel for about 9yrs. Bethel is said with a smirk because many alaskans consider it to be the Armpit of AK. We liked it out there though because it was slower and everything in the villages is done in seasons, mostly After Winter, July, Before Winter and Winter.
She is ready to go someplace with 4 real seasons and we don't necessarily have to fly, boat/barge or drive for a day to visit.

Doing a corn flake mini mash(BIAB) on the stovetop, gonna add it to the mix. I got 2-row, rice, grits and now cornflakes going in, won't be more than 20%. Should be interesting. I didn't really spend the bill money on supplies, we got plenty in savings we can take out if needed, hubby says don't touch it. I want to touch it!! Must have supplies!!!

Touch it Bobbi...

 

[BobbiLynn]

Touch it Bobbi...

'Cause what the hell we saving it for? A rainy day? It's raining!!!! Saving it for a massive shipment of grain and hops!! Whoot!!! Ordered I think 40 pounds of 2-row and a bunch of other stuff. I told him brewing calms me down and he said "brew, baby, brew". He is coming to his senses now.

I hate to be logic debbie downer, but that's a terrible idea. Fund your obligations first, then spend on luxury items like brewing supplies.

My wife and I would never touch our savings for a luxury item, but then again I live debt free aside from my mortgage.

Anyone else do their taxes yet? I just did mine today. My tax man is a genius. We needed it this year too now that my wife isn't working.

 

[Subsailor]

We did our taxes, getting about $600 back - going towards moving.

 

[Varmintman]

I did mine.....Don't ask

 

[Obliviousbrew]

I´m getting €800 back uhuhuhuhu blinchman hop rocket and therminator you are mine!!!!!

 

[Airborneguy]

Oblivious, you guys go it the same way over there?

Everyone else, I'm going to keep silent on this one I think.

 

[opus345]

I wonder where to get bacon lean enough to make bacon-beer? Cook it well then steep it? The bees have found me too. They are calling their friends now, come on over, beer is brewing!!!

Don't say that with CG in the room. Anyone who has made okra mead is only a hop skip and a jump away from a bacon mead. Maybe he has already thought about it.

the fiscal year closes in may I think starting on february you can start with you declaration but you don´t turn it till March, is not federal tax here, we call it IRPF and it´s about the same thing, a portion of your earnings are withheld and depending on how much you made that year and how much you deduct you pay or get money back, I talked to my job account and he made the calculations and it´s 801.45 euros (about 1000 USD)

I need to take my tax guy out to lunch too, we have around 8 grand coming back.

 

[Airborneguy]

Now I don't feel so bad, because we're the same. I was over 8, but I have to pay the state so it ends up almost exactly 8.

Oh and, that's 10,000 baby!

 

[Obliviousbrew]

Where I live to have that kind of money back I will need to have 8 kids or something like that I´m happy with no kids and €800

Let's get this weekend started late nighters!

[Airplanedoc]

Sticking with your theme

 

[passedpawn]

Back at you! This one was a hit when I was in Jamaica in '87.

 

[Airborneguy]

It's about the same here. I have two kids, plus the mortgage deduction and school expenses and my wife doesn't work. I was also about to write off some extra expenses this year because of my promotion.

Beer is a must, not luxury!! Money will show up before bills are due. We don't even have mortgage. Just property taxes. I took a nap after I finished brewing, woke up and groceries in my kitchen. Someone was here and left them but they did not call or even leave a note. Maybe I'll take another nap then look for a wad of money. :rockin:

 

[BobbiLynn]

Good idea!

 

[GunnyB]

Evening folks! The weekend is starting off amazingly well... The commissary had free bacon!!!

 

[snaps10]

I woke up yesterday at 6:30am. I have had two 90min naps since then. I need some bacon, and for this sweet little 12mo old to take a looooong nap at 3.

 

[Obliviousbrew]

I´m afraid I have to tell you this: that´s not the commissary, you died and you are in heaven, of course heaven has free bacon and HBT (at least my version of it)

 

[GunnyB]

While I certainly appreciate your position of free bacon being somewhat of a Devine nature, if this were heaven then it wouldn't cost $100 to fill up my E-350 van. But I'm diggin the gift of bacon

 

[GunnyB]

But then again...there was this little gem I enjoyed last weekend. You're right, it's heaven and seems pretty cool so far
