Put a fork in me…

Sunday, March 26th, 2006

Oktoberfest (& brewer) are DONE… two hours ago I pitched yeast into my second lager ever - a marzen / oktoberfest. I am completely exhausted - I am still trying to fight my way clear of this damn cold my plague carriers (preschool children) gave me… My throat hurts, my ears pop whenever I swallow, I taste foulness whenever I cough… sometimes so long and constant that I bring more than just phlegm up with it… yet I still managed to brew today. I’m nuts.

And I intend on brewing 2 more times before next Sunday. Wife and plague carriers are taking a trip to Atlanta to visit with the wife’s side of the family for a week - So I will be alone to do my thing. I’ve got a few other projects lined up… more details (and pictures) to come once / if I get them completed.

I’m exhausted. Time to go suck down some more water and go to bed… the more rest I get, the better I’ll (hopefully) feel.
