Kyrgyzstan is the happiest place in the world!

I am on my way home after 11 1/2 months in Afghanistan!  It has been a long (almost) year without beer, home brewing, and lots of other stuff.  I placed an order last week with NB for enough ingredients to keep me busy for a few weeks at least.

To make up for the last year, I am planning a 4 or 5 week road trip around the USA checking out mountain biking and brew pubs around the country.  I’ll be asking for some ideas when the time gets closer.  See you all soon.

Have a safe trip home, and THANK YOU for your sacrifices!!!  If you find yourself lost in Nebraska let me know. I’d love to buy you a beer!!!

Hopefully you’ll stop by Germany on the way home and make up for some lost time.

Welcome home!!

here here!

While you have been stomping around in the desert in some God-forsaken-country I have been enjoying the good life. Enjoying good home brew, the companionship of Ms. Tubercle and the safety and security of a good night’s sleep. None of this is my doing though. I owe it all to you and your compatriots.

Thanks is not enough but it’s all I have…

Have a safe trip home and I hope you make it up by me this summer!

Sounds like you are going to need a brew stand.

Finally on the way home. Awesome!

Cheers!

It’s actually “hear, hear!”  But we know what you meant.8)  Thanks for your service in protecting the freedoms of not just Americans but the entire world.

He’s coming back home, so “here here” is actually appropriate.

Thank you for your service. It is truly appreciated, but not said enough.

As I like to say, I have the second best job in the world.  I won’t be able to move up a notch until Hugh Hefner vacates his position.  :wink:
Bill, I can get you those measurements I neglected to provide in about 3 or 4 days.

Welcome almost home! If you’re even in Idaho, look me up! (just make sure I’m not wearing my kilt before you look up me)

I will take you up on that.  I have a good friend who works at a skydiving operation just outside Boise, and that is one of the few definite destinations on my road trip.

Sweet! It’ll be just like old times! Send me a PM a week ortwo before, and we’ll get it all planned up.

I think we can find you some mountain biking and beer here in Colorado!

I’m up for buying you a pint or three. In Denver as well. Please do not hesitate to call
me up if you are around.

Don’t forget June 12th, I have some tickets for you and a camping site

Welcome back, thanks for all you do

Thank you for your service.

If you’re coming towards the northeast Willibrew (Willamantic Brew Pub) in CT just won best beer bar in America and I’d be happy to buy you a few rounds.
