    My reason is because I've been fishing all day. Little windy but caught 27.

    I wouldn't mind splitting the cost; but I would hate sharing the beer. I like my beer; it's all MY beer!

    Not a bad split; kind of like the brew club I am in. We have 10 paid members; four of us show up to all the brews, three are 50/50, and the rest are hit or miss. The club doesn't have any purchased equipment though; we brew with the equipment available at the person's house we are brewing at. Except my chiller has been attending all the meeting lately. Plate chillers are bad ass. :D

    This is the 40 plate chiller I have. If I had to do it again I would have probably bought this one. The additional length means more time for heat to shed/be absorbed so I could either run my hot wort faster or use less water. Don't take this that I am not happy with my current chiller; I just wish I had the spare cash when I bought it to have bought the bigger one. If you ever go up to 10 gallon batches the bigger one will be much better; but for 5 gallon batches the small 40 plate is great.

    Have you tried Ratliff yet? I've heard it's the nicest public course in the area. I personally haven't been there but my friend has. It still won't compare to east Texas courses though.

    I agree with you on OCC they course looks nice to bad it costs an arm and a leg to join! My buddy is hoping to get into sales with Halliburton and if he does then they will pay his membership which would be awesome.

    I wanna get LASIK as soon as my vision stops getting worse? Does your doctor have to cut your eyes at all?

    I wish I was a candidate for LASIK. I'm so blind I don't have enough cornea to remove for the amount of correction I need. About 3 years ago there was one corrective surgery available and it did not sound appealing and the success rate was not as high as I wanted. Guess I will wait and see what technology brings.
    Good luck with your consultation. I have heard it is a life changing surgery.
