Hello everyone, I figured we were about due for a new lounge since the old one is dead and summer is ending. What do you folks have going on? I'm starting back at school today after five years away. I'm cooking some breakfast right now and getting ready to ride down to school. It is going to be great. Last night my friend and I placed an order for some new brewing equipment. We are going to graduate from making 1 gallon batches on up to being able to do two 5 gallon batches at a time. I can't wait for it to get here. I'm probably more excited about that than I am about going back to school.:P

Anyway, you know the rules. No religion, no politics and most definitely no system wars. Stop in and chat a while.:)

I'm still working and wasting all my money on games. Nothing else is going on that I can think of. I had a taco yesterday?

Not much happening on my end. Working through Bastion on PC right now, which has been great. Lot longer than I thought it'd be. That's about it.

I'm not really doing much myself. I did see Rise of the Planet of the Apes last night though - very good movie. And on games, I'm waiting for Dead Island. Right now just trophy hunting in previous games (mainly Dynasty Warriors 7).

I'm not actually going back to school this fall as I will be pursuing higher education through the military :P

Still, definitely my favorite time of the year!

I can actually play sports outside now without sweating like crazy

Wish I could be going back to school, but not now. I have other things going on.

Hopefully, things will be on the up and up soon!

I have to hit my desk again with my fellow students on the 29th. I get Deus Ex HR on the 26th. How life can have crap moments but give a shine of light through that anyway.

My problem wouldn't be getting up that early but being attentive in class. Can you not switch it out for a later section?

I got my classes down so I only have 1 everyday. Mon/Wed for my first class, Tue/Thur for the second, Friday for the third. My fourth class is online-only. It's my first time doing an online-only class. So this should be interesting. Especially since it's a "lab" course.

The later section was full when I went to register, and I think it would have conflicted with a few of my other courses.

And risk destroying the very fabric of time and space itself? No way, man. Once those lounges are closed, they are closed. Re-opening them only causes catastrophe.

This morning was fun. After I got back from doing laps in the pool, I took a shower, drank a protein shake, and went online for a bit. Then I went to class to pick up my test and turn in my homework and went back to the gym to lift weights. :P That's how dedicated I am. :)

^ It doesn't need to be sealed actually. That is just the kettle where we boil all of our ingredients. From there, we cool down and transfer our wortover to a sealed fermentation bottle where it sits for several days until it is done fermenting.

It is fun stuff. I also bought a three foot long wooden stirring paddle the other day and we are going to get a propane powered heater so that we can stand around and cook beer in my back yard. It isn't as fun to crowd around in a kitchen and do this stuff. We've got a good five or six people that want to come over and watch us make our first big batch. It will be great to have people to help us stir.

For our one gallon batches we just used my friend's stovetop. Now that we are doing five gallon batches, it would be possible to do it in the kitchen, but it would kinda suck. I'm going to turn my roommate's garage and backyard into a bit of a mini-brewery. We've just got four foot tall grass and weeds back there now.:P He and I have been too busy for housework for the last year.
