That’s pretty awesome. I haven’t been to Huntsville in 20 years. I’m sure I wouldn’t recognize it. ---

I think I’m going to make a stop there on my way across the country in february. Keith, are you still going to be in your current place or will the new facility be up and running by then? ---

Hey! Bluffton made the list! (they forgot to mention the famous garage brewery located there) Should have had a picture of the Hayward house rather than the Garvey cottage (Freed slave shack house) ---

I’ve been here 10 and I really like the area.

I’d settle for you just popping in some weekend regardless of visitors. Support your local brewery. 😉 Got some great beers on tap right now. You should try the doppelstickealt before it is all gone. And the wine bbl aged Frankenhammer.  But of course you are invited if Jonathan shows up as well. (Let me know if you don’t feel sufficiently guilty.) ;D ---

I’ll be leaving Cali on January 31st (good lord willin’ and the creek don’t rise) so I’ll probably be at your place sometime in the second week of February. From what I have read lately, some CA creeks have been at flood stage. Good luck on your journey back East. ---
