Well seeing it was my birthday yesterday (thanks for not noticing you pack of scurvy dogs), wife and I drank a bottle of Rose for memory's sake (we got stupidly insanely drunk on a big bottle of Italian rose once - I still think it was laced with grappa!!!).

Seeing I am such an alco (sarcasm), I probably won't have another till Matt comes northward soon. And then back to dihydrogen monoxide.

I just won't drink the Kool-aid...

Be careful with that stuff, it's one of the most dangerous substances on the planet: http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html

I just restarted my amateur home brew for the first time in years this week, as part of my ongoing renovations of the shed and laundry. I suddenly found a spare bit of bench top that was just the right size for the Coopers home brew to live in, so I thought 'why the hell not'?

Tonight I am trying narrow band for the first time with my new (well had it for months in the cupboard!!) SBIG STT8300 and self guiding filterwheel so in celebration I am having Ha red -Barossa Cat amongst the pigeons Shiraz, then later I might have a green cordial or a blue jelly bean!! Just to balance out the filters!
Seriously though will stick to shiraz tonight as not working tomorrow.
My mate (who lives and breathes the Hawks) has invited me around Friday to watch the game, and he makes a really exceptional home brew selection including wheat beer and his current latest- a chocolate stout. Had it last Hawks game and it was amazing (the stout!). Looking forward to that stout more than the game for if Cats win he is unbearable, and if the Cats lose then so is my Father in law. Can't we all just support Leicester city Football Club ??

Hi,

I've found plonk is the deadly enemy of astro observation.

It should have been easy to figure this out in advance, but I've tried long and hard for a good blend (so to speak), with no success.

I don't know how many times now I've had a good sky at a dark site, then sabotaged myself. My mates never allow me to forget the time I was found asleep with a cowpat for a pillow, by a 12" dob in the early morning, on the Dunville Loop in the Capertee Valley. I was lucky it was summer.

So I've learned to pace it. My favourite special tipple at the moment is Blue Curacao, or white Triple Sec, but as I said, with discipline.

Cheers

Exactly.

G'day, Rick, would that brew be from Victoria?,

Trev, like Rick I too have been home brewing for 30 years +, great pass time, good hobby, terrific for your constitution , I could go on and on

Right now, a peroni, no real reason other than it was in the fridge & it is beer.

Little Creatures Pale Ale. Delicious proper beer! I'm not that keen on most lagers.

Coincidentally, I went camping in the same place a few months ago and had a very similar experience involving a bottle of scotch and a camping chair... High, light cloud when I was woken the next morning, so at least I had a plausible excuse
