Hey John, I'm into at least a few of those subjects. I've been making beer for about 20 - 25 years. I keep it in 5 gal soda kegs shot with CO2 - usually 2 kegs at a time in a converted fridge. Usually 5 gal of amber ale, 5 gal of some kind of stout (oatmeal stout at the moment). Bottles are too much of a pain.
Started fly fishing about 15 years ago. Lots of fun, especially since I'm near the Sierras - Yosemite, Sequoia Nat'l Forest, etc. I think its called fishing rather than catching for a good reason. A year ago I tripped and fell (sober, too) and tore up my left wrist. Therapy became learning guitar. I really suck at it but I can read music, and JanFlan's a musician, so I have a built-in instructor. Fun stuff. Let's see, what else? I recently acquired a couple of Macs - a G4 Tower and an iBook G4 that I use exclusively now. I can't get DSL where I live, or cable. Satellite's more than I want to spend. So I hooked up with Cricket Broadband. Loaded the software on 3 computers. All I do is unplug the broadband modem from a USB port and connect to one of the other computers. Pretty fast compared to dial-up - 550K - 900K. There's other stuff as well but not used as much as I once did - b & W darkroom, 4x5 cameras, Ansel Adams school, etc. Hell, even now, I've been elected to the CC board of directors. Oh boy, what joy! I'll take a look at the site. Try not to contaminate it ;-) TFlan --- On Mon, 12/15/08, j...@clubmaker-online.com <j...@clubmaker-online.com> wrote: > From: j...@clubmaker-online.com <j...@clubmaker-online.com> > Subject: ShopTalk: New Golf Group > To: shoptalk@mail.msen.com > Date: Monday, December 15, 2008, 12:53 PM > I'd like to pass along information on a new online group > that I > started today called NThuz. > > NThuz is a new online social community for golfers, mobile > gadgeteers, craft beer drinkers and home brewers, music, > ipod, and > Mac lovers, photographers, fisherman, car tuners, chefs, > guitarists, > gardeners, cyclists, snowmobilers, & more. > > Upload your favorite videos, music, and photographs.
