Bottled the Kolsch 10 or so days ago. Tried it last night. Loved the aroma and the initial taste, but there was no aftertaste, almost like drinking water. Maybe it needs more time for the flavors to work their magic? I just don't know. Hopefully starting the IPA tomorrow. But I may wait until I can get my hands on a secondary fermenting tank.

Look at Jerry's. The price is a bit high, but the food is the best in ILM. IMO. Also check out Caprice.

What's the budget looking like?

Man, hate to hear about the board. You can probably find a decent repair guy here in town for cheap. I will let you know if I see a good deal on one between now and the fall. fuzz

Nah, check your PM's. Hopefully going to start tomorrow.

I am just going totally from my experience. Then again, my body handles the cold much better than the heat. With a 3/4 I have been in the water for over an hour in Feb. and not had any trouble, I was wearing booties though.

You are about my size. I will try to remember to look at my suit when I get home for the size. P.S. 4/3's are going to limit your movement a ton, I have never been in trouble in a 3/2 here even 75 feet under in December.

I bought my first two from sweetwater, but the last one off of ebay. I knew my size, and I do a lot of shopping on there so it was no big deal.

I have always had good experience with rip curl. I am on my third one, and have no complaints. My first one I bought in high school, but since I have gotten both taller and wider, my roommate wears it. It's probably 13 or 14 years old.

Are you still around? Missed your insight lately.

just saw the rep about PM...kinda funny. Wish more of the media saw it the way that you and I do.
