The filthy blog tag pox

Reader Ayrdale has struck me with the Filthy Tag Pox, in which I'm supposed to post eight random things about myself, so here goes...
  • I sometimes brew my own beer.
  • One of the strangest duties I ever had in the Air Force was to fire rockets at fighter planes in flight...our own planes.
  • I've visited 22 countries outside the US.
  • I've been to Las Vegas at least six times over the last eight years, yet gambling is one of the few vices I don't have.
  • You know that old-fashioned teletype punched paper tape? There was a time I could read the holes in it.
  • I've been in IT long enough to have programmed in both COBOL and FORTRAN.
  • I saw Aerosmith in concert...in 1974.
  • I once traded seats on a plane with Henry Winkler.
Now it's my turn to pass the pox to Mark at Dangling Invective, Chuck at Front Porch Anarchist and Dave C. at At The Point Of A Gun.

...home brewing is a perfect hobby. I had mine bubbling quietly in the bathroom, warmed by a small 60W bulb and the heated towel rail, and its spasmodic, fragrant hoppy burps were lullaby music to my ears...my wife didn't think so however...

I got me a smallish fermenting vessel for small batches (around 2.5 gallons/10 liters) and I keep space for it in my wine fridge. Now I can brew lagers fermented at low temperatures. Before that, it was all ales, all the time.
