Poor fella, haven't you a wife to send out? :laugh:

You and the good old horse should know, I am all too happy to test out the barley and hops from all over the world in the name of science. After all, I do work for the State Seed Commissioner, and the feed, fertilizer and pesticide regulatory agency, so it's almost an obligation.

I can't remember who said it, but it is supposed to be hard on memory for the short term. Or hard on short term memory. I can't seem to remember exactly.

I have the same problem if I drink too much too often. It builds up over time. Also if I drink smaller amounts daily. Eventually my cortisol levels go up, I get severe Alzheimer's type symptoms, my wife yells at me and I have to take sedatives. I get the same from too much stress. Usually I get one the edge of the problem by a combination of both. This was first discovered ten years ago, took months to diagnose, then a 24 hours urine test reveled I was at the top end of normal cortisol X2+! I had over 2000 whatevers and it is normal to have 500 to 1000 whatevers of cortisol. At really high levels I get chest pains and anxiety. I take a daily preventative pill as well. I kind of feel sorry for my liver, yet I continue to try and kill it.

If I enjoy it, it's forbidden. :rage:

My diameter would increase if my wife was a chef. My lady is very good with Filipino food.

Her job drives her nuts. Then she drives me nuts. Got her a new one that sounds a lot better and less hours. So maybe I can stop pickling my brain every night she works and actually accomplish something. I use beer as a crutch and the bottle caps are hell on my armpits!

Well after playing through this amp last yesterday at practice, I am not so grumpy today! I may have to pick another one up and sell the little amp I have!

Nope. The GOF rig of choice is something Class D that might float away in a stiff breeze, unless there are roadies involved. None of us getting any younger (even me, and I'm still too young to be a GOF yet, though I have certain commonalities involving sucky choices and mortality.)
