A Drink or Ten...Gallons

It's been so nice to be able to ride my bike the last few weeks.  Speed is up and fitness is up.  I am still about ten pounds over race weight, but when you aren't riding 60 miles a day, your normal weight comes back.  No biggie.  I still fit into my 34s and feel pretty good minus the back (usual).  An easy change at my second job has allowed me to ride my bike to work a few days a week.  I take the long way to add in some elevation and more miles, of course.
While doing this, I was pondering about how if my bees had lived that I would have loved to have made some mead as it would be cheaper than buying the 20 dollar bottle at the store...yikes!  I mentioned this in passing to my friend Kim and he said he had some brewing materials in the shed that I could use if I ever wanted to make some.
