Thank you @Biggz . I served 23 years in the Air Force and was stationed at Lowery AFB in 1963 for nine months then starting 1967 for 4 years. Tell your Dad thanks for his service from an old E7 Master Sargent. :)

Lived in the Mile High City when I was in the Air Force a long time ago. Loved it then, went through it some time later and was appalled by the smog. FYI: Mile High City = Denver, CO

@Bearwithmead Welcome aboard. Did/do one gallon batches until I find one that I want more of, then it's a 3 gallon run.

@Johnd, you got some neat tools there. Maybe I should start life over and branch out.

Currently using a free suite of programs called OpenOffice.org to build a database for home inventory. At times I am in the wood shop doing something akin to what @wood1954 has been doing. Only problem, I've got 10 years on him and I am rapidly slowing down.
