I'm Baaaaaaaaaack!

Has it really been 3 1/2 years since I last posted?  Wow!  A lot has happened since then.  I went to the UAE for work, we sold our Eugene house, and bought a house in Beaverton. I took my wife to Hawaii for 10 days, and just over a year later I was back helping out the Montana Air Guard with the alert mission for almost 3 months. I've been back to Nellis and Tyndall, the 2012 Rose Bowl, and even got to visit my best friend in NC for an all-too-short week. I've brewed and drank beers by myself and with friends. It's been a good time and I don't expect life to slow down any time soon. 

This Christmas, I got the things needed to make a 10 gallon mash tun to make even better beer for less money. Yesterday I used it for the first time with good results, and took pictures so I can post how it went. That will be my next post.
