So according to some I have to check my schedule by 3pm the day before I start reserve even though you can't be required to check it, you're supposed to check it.

What if the day before I am gone to the mountains til 10pm? No way to check.

Murphy's Irish Stout from the real Capitol of Ireland, not that northern brewed unbalanced crap in a can, is what you thirst for. It is an amazing brew, so Stout, Creamy, and Smooth. You could not get into any more Irish if you were in the sack with all 3 Corr's sisters circa 1993.

Maybe transfer those to Flickr and make your stream entirely private? You'll be the only one able to see them.

I don't have to update Jepps, they are there waiting in my airplane when I get there, and I can use them to go anywhere in the world. NOW.. I will have to carry a $400 device, be responsible for it, don't break it, and make sure it is up to date. How is this better?

Yes, I agree, the Ruthless Rye is also very good. It's a little harder to find in my local grocery store though, they don't seem to stock it on a regular basis like they do the Torpedo.

I was at the ABC Liquor store yesterday looking for something of authentic Irish heritage, like myself.

Did you know Guinness and Harp is now being brewed in....Nova Scotia! Read the back of the can!

So I passed over those, but then I spotted a reddish brown can of Guinness Red Harvest Stout, and it is still brewed in Dublin (according to the details on the back of the can) so I picked up a 4 pack of that, I'm saving it for Monday, going to try making some Black and Tans with that and the Smithwicks I also picked up.

I occasionally like an IPA but not the super extra hoppy ones. The Ballast point Pale Ale just knocked the Stone Pale Ale out of my number 1 spot, try it when you get a chance. It Rocks, here is a description from the BP Website:

The beer that launched Ballast Point.
Our original Pale Ale is a rich golden brew, crafted with aromatic German hops and rounded out with a blend of American and Munich malts. While it’s hopped like a lager, we ferment it like an ale to create a smooth, bright taste that has just a hint of fruit and spice. It’s extremely drinkable, like a Kolsch should be, yet complex, like a good craft beer demands.


San Diego is adding microbrews the way Fred & Leo added RJs to DAL! :eek:

OH yeah and for Timbo - You can also enjoy nice weather all year round - probably even better than Orlando. :)

Quick question....

Anyone who has converted to a new category lately remember how much notice you were given before officially starting training?

I've seen my projected training date, but was just curious as to how early I could expect to get the official training schedule. I'd figure at least a month or so, but not sure.
