I’ve given up on dwelling upon traffic to the site and I’m concentrating on just delivering posts on a daily basis. It’s the first thing I think about when I get up and the last thing thought about last night. No shit. It has become not only my hobby, but also, and I’m cautious to say this, my obsession. SixPackTech is the best thing that’s happened to me since my kids started teaching me stuff that I didn’t already know. Computers, the Internet and my lifestyle (and some monthly fees to providers) have made this site possible. If one of those elements were to change, I’d scramble to maintain what is here now.

Two site related things that stick in my head like a cluster of brambles caught on a sock, are that the Brew Review Table for 2012 is stuck in April and that the Faves content hasn’t been updated in months. I’m sorry about this. I’m aware of it and I will make it all good sooner than later. The Faves will take some research into my own website and the Brew Table will be a repetitious cutting and pasting. But both tasks will turn out to be pleasant for yours truly and you won’t even know it. Until you click on it.

This time in the season puts me in a somewhat depressing mood. It’s that mood that comes with football season and the colder weather. Hell, we didn’t have much of a summer this year, did we. I was at my son’s house on the 4th of July and it was in the high 80s at 11 pm. Now the Earth is cooling down and heading towards tree defoliation. Whatever bugs have survived will lay their eggs, perhaps being a little more adaptive to what could be in store for next year, having learned from last year.

I’m getting near retirement age now and when the time comes, and  I have a lot of time on my hands, I’m going to create a fire that no human can extinguish, or a kite that will fly into the edge of space, or maybe just breed spiders. Or scorpions. Or get a tattoo. A beachcomber with a kickass, state if the art metal detector. With a tattoo and a pet spider scorpion. A spider that kills scorpions… Or the other way around.

Thanks a lot for stopping by. Now go jiggle the toilet tank flush handle.
