(Untitled)
Did my daily barefoot mile TWICE today! And without raising any blisters! I guess that makes up for being forced to miss it yesterday.
Also, I love those Washington days when the weakening sun turns the brewing rainclouds cobalt blue.

Ubuntu and Media Players

(Untitled)
So! I finally brewed my very first batch of ALL GRAIN beer! I of course forgot to take pictures for posterity, but I was really much too busy juggling three different pots full of near-boiling water, or trying to get my continuous sparging system to work continuously, or sitting on the couch pouting over how the kitchen stove won't bring three ( Read more... )
