Going to Austin for my first anniversary. Dinner at the restaurant where we had our first date and our rehearsal dinner, then drinks with friends.
 
Bottling half my batch on Saturday morning (the other half is being racked onto mangos), then the rest of the weekend is comprised of watching curling at the Brier.
 
Hopefully having the remainder of work done on the heating/airconditioning replacement I have been getting done. Seems to be great timing as things are looking like I will have to wait until next fall to try out the newly installed gas heat upgrade over the old 20+ year old heat pump I had previously as temperatures have been in the upper 70's and we dont look to be getting another freeze for a while.

Then once the garage is empty enough of all that equipment I am going to reorganize it and my brewing crap so that maybe I can get a brewday in next weekend or if I somehow manage to adjust to this afternoon shift work and can wake up early enough a midweek day brew.
 
Taking my BJCP written exam. And continuing to cram before that. I'm most of the way there. Between cramming all night tomorrow night and most of Saturday morning, I think I'll be good. At least good enough to get the meager score I need to hit National. But I'm try to get the score for Master right out of the gate (but not holding my breath) and then just worry about getting points.
 
I have a hockey tournament in North Conway NH this weekend. The kids are gonna have a blast running around the hotel and the parents will have almost as much fun. I'm bringing up a keg of my Dark lager and a bunch of different beers. Lots of drinking and eating. Me and my other coaches are gonna do a tailgate between games. Weather is suppose to be beautiful up there.
 
Lying in the bed trying to recover my mycoplasma, which is apparently the germ that causes walking pneumonia. My lungs are on fire, my throat is more sore than ever, and I'm coughing up ungodly things. Never heard of mycoplasma before yesterday when the doc in a box diagnosed me with it. What really pisses me off about this whole deal is that I was just fine on Tuesday morning when I went to the family doctor to get my yearly wellness check up. By that evening, my throat was swelling up and my lungs were starting to ache. I didn't really go anywhere else that day, so that's the most likely place where I picked this bug up at.

I had planned to keg and bottle three different batches this weekend before this so inconveniently happened. I guess it's another week in the primary for those batches. *sigh*
 
Just shut off the burner on strike water to get a haircut.
Found 12 waiting chairs full and I'm the 3rd standing and waiting.
Gonna make for a late evening
 
Brewed also but today successfully mated...I BS you not:

1995 Buick 3800 to
2001 Cavalier 2.2L F23 transmission using
Camaro 3.8L flywheel
axles from a 1986 fiero with outer cv joints from
a 2000 Grand Prix with the 3800 and
a 1995 Oldsmobile Silhoutte
all attached to a generic tranny mount
and a modified tranny mount from something I do not remember...

All to put a manual transmission in a 1995 Pontiac Trans Sport.

So we anihilate BMW E30's on a 2.1 mile road course...with a minivan.
