It's time to introduce myself
Hi from the Greater Seattle area! Marysville, if you're familiar.
I've had a couple of truck campers but made the switch to a trailer when my wife decided the camper was too small and I decided that I really didn't enjoy driving with it loaded. We're both really happy with the switch!
I am retired after almost 38 years in engineering with a large aircraft manufacturer in the area. My wife is still working but I'm getting things in order so that I can spend a lot more time out and about taking pictures of nature and wildlife or sharing my love of the outdoors with my grandchildren.
So far, I have limited my mods to switching to LEDs, replacing the stereo and TV and I just ordered a slide out cover. I'm also going to install a King DirecTV dome on the roof when the weather cooperates.
Besides the photography, I have been a homebrewer for 10+ years.

Welcome! What do you think of Northern Brewer and Midwest being absorbed by the AB subsidiary?

I am curious to find out why InBev or AB thought it was a good idea?

Welcome from another homebrewer
What is it about RVs and homebrewing? Doing it for many, many years. Going to make a stout this weekend. Welcome from NW Indiana.

I made a Bourbon Barrel Porter 4 months ago and it turned out to be the best one yet! Good luck on your Stout.
