Great American Beer Festival 2008

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Beer countWell it’s been two weeks since the 2008 version of the Great American Beer Festival, and I finally have time to write. Well, I had time when I got back, but it took me alot longer than it used to for recovery. Maybe it was the mountain air, or the 51 beers I sampled, or the fact that we went out and hit it hard every night this year. Three nights straight is getting tougher than it used to be! So whats with the count? This year we decided to carry counters to keep track of the beers sampled. I made it to 51, but I think my friend Ken made it to 90 something. Then again I think he was born drinking beer. All in all it was a great time once again; I wiil add more photos when I get them. (If they can be posted.)

Chimney Removal

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

I decided to tear out the Chimney in my house this weekend. I did not need it anymore since all my high efficiency appliances now vent out the back of the house through PVC pipe. I already removed the portion above the roof this spring after I discovered it was leaking.  The remaining 16ft of cinder block proved to be a little bit more difficult that the portion above the roof. Thanks Don and Deryll for the help!
