Since my husband went to swing shift a couple months ago, I spend most of my evenings by myself. Even before that, we tended to spend our evenings kinda separate; him watching tv or playing xbox, and me out in the garage surfing HBT, reading, knitting, drinking beer, or doing random brewery chores. Occasionally we have a fierce game of cribbage, or a nice dinner. Nothing wrong with any of that, we have a happy marriage. So I spend a lot of time by myself. As many of us do, I talk to myself, my dogs, my cats, and sometimes inanimate objects. Tonight I caught myself firmly admonishing a keg that I need empty, WHY YOU DON'T KICK DAMMIT. Magic kegs are for another post. So here are a few things I have caught coming out of my mouth:
1. DAMN you are a purdy beer!
2. Where the EFF is the thermometer???
3. Stop licking the floor!! (to the dogs)
4. I made this. It's delicious. I am amazing. (Positive reinforcement via such phrases is good for you, I've heard)
5. Who wants to be brewdog today? (also to the dogs; usually have both out here with me)
6. No beer is complete without a couple of black dog hairs in the boil.
7. What yeast slurry is this? (sometimes I forget to mark the jar)
8. I know that damned (random brewery part) is here SOMEWHERE....
9. DAMMIT!! (let boil go too long because HBT)
10. Get out from behind the brewstand you idiot cat!! (he's not been burned yet, but he likes to push the envelope)
11. Today I AM going to get 5.5g in the fermenter (always undershoot it no matter what)
Anyone else?
