How's it going at work today?
I'm just cleaning my mouse with alcohol swabs.
It's Friday

Getting through the day. Thinking about sinking my teeth into that pound of Simcoe tomorrow. The amarillo too. I 'm going to do one of those scenes where people are rolling around on a bed of money - except it will be with hops.

A lot of our clients are going into code freeze as well. I'm incredibly jealous. Code freeze means team leads and managers have more time on their hands, which means an incredibly busy time of year for me.

Unfortunately, we ramp up before the holidays as clients look for design projects to be finished before the Christmas break so they can have contractors price them over the holidays. Looking for forawrd to what has seemed like a very long week.

Fixed some machines this morning, now sitting at Apple Auto glass waiting for a replacement windshield. I got hit by a tiny stone while on the PEI bridge and the thing split right away to 3", and then I watched it grow by 2" during the rest of my drive home. Was freaking windy out there on the open ocean, my hood was teasing me like it was going to flip open at 80km/hr.

Went to a work seminar this am. Skipped out a little early to do some racking. 2013 Merlot, fresh out of the fridge....added a little too much acid last year
2 g/l is pretty close to 2 g/gallon, isn't it?

I could have looked in your ear Keely. You'd have to bring someone with you to sit in the corner and do the standard joke though ...the one that goes "can you see right through to the other side Doc?"
I'm ready for Advent #5 BRB.

Just got a glimpse of Adam (Brewnoser and beer judge) at work out on the ocean, using high tech equipment, studying Right Whales, hoping to save them from extinction.
It's a Land & Sea TV show, without the ads, and runs for about 20 minutes, but well worth the watch.

It's interesting to know what people on here get up to when they are not brewing.

I just took on a Masters Thesis looking at mental health smartphone apps in Education. I kind of see it as another job, lol

"Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain -
Quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe

Two days in Halifax at a conference. Better hit the road soon, long drive. It's dark out there. I'd rather stay snug at home.
