Fishing can't be your only hobby....

Otherwise what would you do when the bite is slow?

Lately I've gotten into some home brewing with my neighbor. But after the 5th or 6th batch I was asking myself....where the hell am I going to keep all this beer? So, I built a bar

This is my first time doing a serious wood project. I built skate ramps whenI was in highschool. I've also never tiled before. A lot went into this project, more than I thought at first. When I got into this I was like "Heh, a deep freezer, some wood and some tiles, no big deal"
Next thing I know I'm at Home Depot every two hours getting $20'd to death. The Co2 manifold, the faucets, the shanks, the SS hose clams, the moulding and the temperature regulator all add up so fast.

Anyway, without further adue. My first bar
What's cooler than having home brewed beer on tap in your kitchen?

That's something to think about. When the bite stinks I'm usually building rods or tying flies.(like now, while waiting for my HOBIE). I need another diversion!!! Nice job on the bar! I like to do a little carpentry, the last time I did anything with wood I did some routing on my wall shelves for decoration.

Let's have a fish feast at your house! We can all bring some fish... those that have some. And some stories. And maybe someone can bring some bugs...? hah!

Nice hobby!

This is neat!
First, I learned that I have a mansion.
Now I just learned that it's in La Jolla.
What's next? A Ferrari? A supermodel wife?
Not sure that I'd want either actually. Maintenance on both is expensive.
I'll stick with my F350 and random morally casual women.

Wow,,, beautiful tap dispenser.

Home brewing is an addictive sport. You'll never have a big enough system. LOL.
Here's a pic of my brewery. Took years ( many beers ) to collect and perfect this system. Installed floor drains, 50 # mash tun capability, 20 gallon batches. Basement area is perfect for all year temperature control...

Is this Team Lollipop's upcoming winners celebration spot? I've been pre-fishing without hooks just to zero in on my hot spot...how long are we supposed to keep these stupid avatars anyways?
