This year?

Exactly; you miss 100% of the shots you do not take.

I gave up beer last August.. since then I've drank maybe 8 total. I do drink bourbon and whisky though. But nothing compared to the amount of beer I use to consume. Oh and as for the diabetes... it helped immensely. Went from an A1C of 9.1 (off the charts out of control) to 4.5 (which is right in the middle for a normal person). Not to mention I have dropped 30 lbs from when I stopped drinking beer. I'm not winning any bikini contest, but hey.

This whole diet thing is working out nicely. Down 10 pounds so far as of this morning and feeling a lot better. Still not sleeping worth a shit but at least I’m not feeling exhausted and dozing off all day like I used to. 21 more pounds to go.

I did enjoy a nice Life Oak Hefe after mowing yesterday. I may have to make that a routine as a reward for mowing.

That is my fav Hefe.

So delayed flights, canceled flights, and now flying to a different airport and driving to the hotel. Thankfully not a big difference.

Thank you Weis Hefe for the moral support.

Went to the Bad Astronaut brewery the other night (we're friends of the owners) and had their IPA, Hazy IPA, Stout, Red Ale and this special light beer brewed with Japanese Rice. Probably one of the only times I can say I've liked every offering at a brewery before.
