3D printing!! I can't wait...
2 weeks ago I destroyed the plastic gear (about the size of a silver dollar) in the hand mixer I was using to make mixed drinks. To get the gear replaced they wanted $70. Shit!! That is more than the mixer.
Now I can just print it myself!!!

This seems like a really interesting read:
http://www.indiegogo.com/afterlife
"..For too long, the debate over the possibility of some sort of hereafter has been dominated by these two diametrically opposed views. So much so, that the general public is not aware that there is some very good evidence supporting the idea that, at the time of our physical death, some part of us 'continues on'. In the book I am currently writing, I will tell the story of how, for more than a hundred years, scientists have been finding evidence for consciousness continuing on beyond death; people have been recounting their own personal encounters with 'the other side of the veil'; and some of the world's best thinkers have been suggesting that human consciousness may be far more than just the accidental by-product of a flesh-and-blood brain. The evidence may not be concrete, but it's certainly enough for any person to hold a 'rational' belief that we all continue on in some way. "

Brewing the Battle Ax Brown Ale
So, this is my brother-in-law's microbrewery he built in his garage. The left keg/kettle is for boiling water. Inside the kettle is an electric heating element that can heat the water to over 220 F. Also in the kettle is copper tubing that runs the wort (what will become beer after fermenting) from the second through the hot water with out directly coming in contact with the heating source. This prevents burning of the vegetable matter in the liquid. In the upper left of the image ins the control panel that automates the entire process of the recipe (which can be altered). Anyway it's really complicated to explain and it takes about 3 hours to make the beer and 8 weeks to ferment / age the beer. But the end result has been most tasty!

Georgetown Lake
Yeah, so I have become obsessed with fishing. Here I am Ice and Fly fishing at the same time. The Kokanee salmon are spawning this time of year right along this bank. It's only 6" deep and you can see hundreds of salmon fighting and feeding. Once they are done, they all die. Unfortunately for us, we arived a little late in the season and the were not very good to eat. Although 2.5 weeks prior, we caught 30 and they were delicious.

Hogback Homestead - a cabin in the middle of nowhere
So, the next few posts are dedicated to my favorite US state and the adventures it has to offer any day of the week (and to my good friend Cassandra).
So a few weeks ago we discovered that the National Forest Service offers cabins for rent for $60 a nite! The first cabin we stayed at was called the Hogback Homestead - a cabin in the middle of nowhere. There is no electricity, no cell service, and no running water, and no civilization (though there is a hand well pump outside, it is not functional in the winter). You will be completely disconected from society, and at the same time never be bored at all.
Although the cabin does not have electricity, it does have something unique that I had never seen in a house before. The entire house has natural has lighting. The lights run off natural gas along with the stove. It's so cool!

Considerate Thieves...
are thieves that steal your wallet, take all of the money, and then mail it back to you.
They could also take your wallet, take your money, and then drop it on the floor so the cleaning lady will find it and give it back to you. Yes, thieves can be very considerate indeed!

Define: Blog
Dear weather,
Clouds are meant for the sky, not for a 7 story building.
The soil on the slopes of Lake Seneca have too high a mineral content for those spicy Gewurztraminer apples.
Oh, and I wish my friend Cassandra June Valent a very happy 29th birthday.
