2nd day of leave, yaaay. I have no idea what I have in mind for Christmas but I know one thing I doing gift buying a little different from other Christmasses. I plan on buying gifts for everyone that I plan on seeing at christmas. Since that'll just be my parents it'll do wonders at saving money.
Tonight I I'm cooking my second batch of beer. I'm using domestic fuggle hops and english ale yeast. I figure I'll just change the yeast till I find the one that I like.

Another fun day. Today was PRT, YAAAY. Thats right boys and girls today was the day we slackers and fat bodies get to tempt fate and prove to the Navy that we are not fat and lazy. It helped to make me aware of one important fact; I need to get back to regular excersize. I passed crunches with a little creative counting, push-up I did cleanly but barely, and the run I put in the effort at the beginning but before the mid-way point I remembered that I'm too old to try to be a hero. So I make a good score, so what? It's better that I use my increased amount of time for being an old fart to help the younger crew that are in danger of failing to keep running. I had to pass the finish line 1.5 mi away in 14 min and 45 sec. I made it in 12:32. That's 2 min. less than in my hay day but I'm still young enough to recover and maybe even surpass my time.
I took my time getting back to the ship afterwards. Even though I don't feel I put that much effort I still followed the rule of thumb that the best time to eat fatty food is up to 60 min. after one excersizes. In that window the carbs and fat one eats is actually used to fuel the body. Afterwards though the body will hold on to it like money.
