Boll Weevil Brews, News, and Views

Thanks for stopping by my site! While you're here, take a moment to sign my guestbook and place a pin in my guest map! Both only take a second or two, and are (relatively) painless. :-)
Well, today I got a wild hair up my ass and decided to do some updates here on the all too often neglected website. It's just another case of "no good deed goes unpunished" as installing the latest version of CMSMS (Content Management System Made Simple) FUCKED UP my website layout and menus. Rather than continue to fight with editing files by hand to hack together a simple to manage webpage/blog/soapbox site, I'm going to delete the whole damned thing and install Wordpress, and chalk this up to a lesson learned.



Three Things to Ponder:
1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery," and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians...It creates a hostile work environment.
Well, I just got back from the 2nd annual Magic City Brewfest, and I'm blagging about it on my new work eeeeeeepc, but that's not the point I guess as I'm blagging about the brewfest.
Ah...what can I say? It was the best of times...it was the worst of times...
Well, I'm sitting here tinkering with a neat new toy. I ordered one of the Acer Eee PC computers to test out...and I must say I think I'm liking it. It is a bit on the small side, and typing on the tiny keyboard takes a little bit of getting used to, but the eee pc might put the wheeeee back in computing for just the right users.
I started out just wanting to give it a whirl, but I must say that for the past several hours I haven't been able to put it down. Weighing just about the same as a nice liter of homebrew, it just feels right in my hands, heh heh.
Brewers and Beer drinkers of Alabama...your help is desperately needed! We are in the final stages of a long labor...to lift and repeal some of the last vestages of prohibition that our archaic state is clinging onto! House Bill 196 (HB196), the Gourmet Beer Bill has passed the House of "Representatives" and is now headed to the senate sometime this week for their vote. Please take a moment to read the following letter from Stuart Carter, President of the Free the Hops grassroots movement. There is a link in the email, simply click on that, find out who your senator is, and give their office a call. You will speak with a secretary I'm sure, but tell them that you support HB196 and you would appreciate your senator's support and yes vote as well!
Well, it's been a week since I brewed a 5 gallon batch of American Pale Ale and another 5 gallon batch of American Brown Ale. As mentioned in my last post, these were the first two batches where I used my new 02 tank to hopefully get a more robust fermentation...well, my milage apparently varied.
