I freely admit that I am a lush. I do like a good clean glass of water, though. I once had a Liberian political asylum client from Monrovia. He told me that during the sporadic bursts of civil war during the Charles Taylor years, the most amazing thing was how people would trade anything they owned for a clean, clear glass of water. He said he sometimes went weeks without one and had to drink out of puddles and the like. Gave me a whole new perspective on water.

I'll bring some beer, either my own homebrewed apple beer (part cider in the wort) or a recent bottling from my friend's brewery down here in Baltimore. It'll be nice to drink with people. I do most of my drinking alone, late at night after everybody else in the house is finally asleep and it is finally quiet enough for a cold pils.

Bruxism? Now what do you have to be so stressed about? Do you have nightmares about rust or vacuum leaks on your MBs?

LOL ... I haven't had rust nightmares so far.

I guess it's that Type-A thing. If there are things left on my "to-do" list, I can't fall asleep very well and once I do, I grind my teeth in my sleep and wake up with a headache.

Not necessarily, but they do obsess over lists and closure.

I should know, I grew up there. I'd tell you about it, but I have some lists to which I must attend.

Given the choice between obsession with lists and closure or love of David Hasselhoff ... I'll take my bruxism.

Man, I wish it wasn't like 7.5 hours away to come up... I'd love to meet you all in person.

As it is, I'll be up at O-dark-thirty towing the 'mog the 2+ hours to Wilson for an EAA fly-in/truck show...

Maybe next year Evan. Or the next GTG in VA ... that would be a little closer.

Have fun at the truck show. Are you taking the 'mog to show it or is there a different plan for it?

Evan, what do you do at those? Is that a "walkin' around and lookin'" sort of a deal, or do you actually drive those trucks around during the show?
