I'm coming off a big weekend of work and fun. Friday and Saturday were filled with a 2-day retreat for Leadership Grand Rapids. There are 34 members in the Class of '08, so there were plenty of new people to meet and enjoy. The end of the retreat had us working as teams to complete a high-ropes course called The Giant's Ladder. Imagine an extension ladder made for a giant that stood 20ft tall and you start to get the picture. The goal was to work with 2 other
teammates that you were
tethered to and get to the top of a 40ft
obstacle. Pretty fun!
On Sunday afternoon I brewed my first batches of
homebrew goodness with my friend Dave. This was Dave's 7
th or 8
th batch of beer, so it was great to learn from a seasoned
veteran. We brewed two
separate five gallon batches. One is called Chinook IPA and the other Phat Tyre Ale. So in another 6-8 weeks it should be ready.
