HBT was kind enough to send me an email to remind me that I have not been searching the forums for the perfect recipe, that bit of advice to create the perfect beer, or that piece of equipment that would make my brewing easier and more productive. Yep they were so kind as to remind me that every last bit of brewing equipment is stuff away in a storage shed gathering dust. That there are lonely grains un-crushed and un-mahsed weeping for fermentables.
It reminded me that I have moved a family of 5 from 2000sgft house with 2 car garage and office/brew house to a 1100sqft apartment where I have a 4'x10' workbench, chest freezer, compressor, Rolling toolbox, and empty kegs in the living room; and 70% of what I own is in 2 10'x20' storage sheds.
The email also reminded me that I have a 2000sqft house with 2 car garage and office/brew house that stands empty because some ass decided, on the DAY OF CLOSING, our buyers couldn't get the loan they applied for 6 months earlier. Which means, the house sits empty and I still have to pay my mortgage, electricity, water and gas on top of paying for the fracking apt I shoe horned my family into. That I am in contract on a new house in Lubbock that I can not get into until I sell my house in Carlsbad.
I did however find, after emails and phone calls and general surfing find the following quote which puts it all into perspective.
Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward.

So Frack it. I'm gonna put on some Flogging Molly, go get a Turkey Fryer from Academy, order a Irish Ale and Brew.

. Been there, done that. This goes beyond that. My problem is I am so broke I can't even pay attention. $100 for a fryer and ingredients is in the realm of walking on water. I thought I could get the kids to skip a couple of meals but the wife nixed that idea.
