"A mix of elegance and function.."

The last week of on call this year. I worked this weekend due to the outages from the storm, 12 hours over the weekend. 90,000 people in WV are still without power from the storm.

I jumped in and bought a smartphone last week, I was finally able to pick it up yesterday and spent the evening getting used to it. So now we have a smartass with a smartphone. for those curious I picked up a Motorola Droid. I've been amusing myself with various aps for it. I have one with the BJCP guidelines just in case. hey you never know! I might need to identify a beer one day.

I was going to brew a barleywine this weekend, but since duty called I had to put it on hold. I'll have to brew this one outside since there's no room on the stove for the big pot.


Still no word on the guitars, Since I'm off work Thursday I'll be taking care of some odds and ends, including filing the insurance claim on them. I'm listening to David Gans right now and it's really making me wish I had an acoustic. I had 12 string fever this weekend when I was listening to some Pink Floyd. Bastards!


Time to get ready for whatever round today is.

I decided to follow the on call tradition of brewing some beer today. I picked up a recipe kit for an Amber Cerveza. So far the pot hasn't boiled over, I did drop the can of malt extract in the water, but I think I got it out before any damage was done.

I picked up a Bolivar Fuerte cigar at the ABC, I might smoke it this evening if I decided to go out in the garage and shoot some pool.
