Got home yesterday around 1:30pm. The flight was decent. I watched a couple movies and got a 20 minute nap in (nearly a record for me, I can’t really sleep on planes). After getting home and getting unpacked Kelly and I went to the store for some food, made dinner, and then promptly passed out in the living room around 7pm or so (we’d basically been up and at it for 23 hours or so). I was really trying to stay up until 10pm (get back into this time zone as quickly as I could) but oh well. That meant waking up at 5am, fully alert and unable to fall back asleep.
Today, due to the early rise, I got quite a bit done. All my laundry is done, spent a bit of time adding tags and captions to the photos from the trip. Have a lot more to go through, but it’s a start. Also today I went and picked up the Nitro/CO2 tank I needed, and a keg of Guinness. Finally. Got the kegerator all cleaned and set up, but not tapped yet. The Guinness will go flat in about 2 weeks. Yikes! Apparently the nitro interacts with beer in a bad way. Something CO2 does too, only it takes a keg tapped with CO2 like, 2 or 3 months to flatten the beer. Not two weeks. SO, I’m not sure when I’m going to tap it. I might do it tomorrow, making Friday the 13th of June a really scary day.
At Moon & Sixpence right now, waiting for my brother T (and maybe my other brother C) to show up. Gonna have a few pints and a meal with him before going home and probably dozing off early-ish again tonight. Stupid jetlag.
One reply on “Home, and other stuff”
Congrat’s on the Guinness; I know it’s been a long-time dream to finally do it (and hang that dang sign).
Finally, your full potential as a drunken garage ape is coming to fruition!
Some of that meaty M&6p gravy and taters sounds good right about now. But I’m gonna stay in, eat something here, and watch 2 hours of LOST.
