Ron - As a life-long Wisconsin resident who spent a number of years brewing his own beer (yes, even mashing his own wort when extract brews proved to be sub-standard), I find this hilarious!

You're killing me, dude!

I'm not talking about Big Beer (hell, Miller/Coors is owned by some South African company now, I think) - some of the world's best microbreweries are right here in my hometown.

Why don't you guys come along with us? By the time we're done, you'll be throwing rocks at Wisconsin beer.

Next thing you know....he'll be saying California Cheeses are better than Wisconsin's too.

Well, Brew and Ron, thanks for another good belly laugh!!! 

Guess I can't get involved in this fray...lol.....grew up not far from Golden, drank my first Colorado Koolaid when I was around 13 and it's been my choice now for half a century (damn, that'll make you feel old) so ya'll will get to break a micro brew newbie in!!!

I did drink a few San Miguel in the Phillipines on my way to Nam......their quality control sucks out loud.....depending on which bottle you happen to get, it's anywhere from 18 to 24 %...all of it tasted like crap but if you happened to get 3 or 4 bottles that were 24% you could get uncontrolably happy mo riki tic!!

I sure as hell hope ya'll don't have a sudden heat wave while I'm there (yeah, I've heard about SD's "perfect" weather)........just caught the 7 day forecast for Dallas......105 today and tomorrow, 104 weds and thurs, 103 on fri, and then the cold spell gets her for the weekend...only 102.....and he said it looks like more of the same thru at least the middle of next week!!!!

"Willer time," huh? Now we've REALLY gotten off topic. One more thing: I heard recently - and I'm not just trying to add fuel to the fire - that southern California has become the new hub of micro-brewing. That's all. "I will fight no more forever" - some Indian.

I am in!!!!! The ultimate beer test

I'd volunteer to be the designated drinker if it didn't hurt so bad.

Hi All,

Back on topic and an update on Michael. He dosed 11 days ago, spent 3 days with a moderately painful - whatever that means - but manageable headache and the last 8 days PF. A new record for him. He's not ready to dose again so we'll just wait and see how long it lasts.

One thing that was mentioned but not emphasized, something that I haven't heard about anyone else, is the change in timing of Mike's post-dose hits subsequent to the last two dosings. From the very first psychedelic "interruption" of Michael's HAs, he's gotten immediate, total relief a few hours after dosing. That relief then lasted 3-4 days b4 the HA's return. However, these past 2 dosings have been followed by 3 days of increased HA activity b4 getting any relief - the way it works with everybody else. In addition to changing the timing, his PF times have increased from 3-4 days to 7-8 days (and counting). Not to complain. It's all good stuff.

Ron

Your experience gives us hope, Johnny. I hope that a year or so down the line, we'll be able to say the same.

Just started my first cycle in a year and a half. I have been doing RC seeds for the past 2-2.5 years and the results are obvious. I've dosed twice for the cycle. It seems to be muffling the Loud Female Dog in my temple, but hasn't busted it. Maybe one more dose... either way probably going to try the shrooms when I can get a hold of them. But trust me when I say the seeds worked with absolutely NO SIDE EFFECTS, and it was the best treatment I ever tried.

pf times everyone,
Lost

Lost...besides your shoes, LOL, keep on dosing every 5 days, maybe even larger amounts.  I busted using 80 seeds in the middle of this cycle.  I using 30 seeds last sunday (my 3rd dose in cycle).  It  has definitely tamed it.  Not broken it, but I only get shadows and I can have several beers w/o shadows .  The weird thing is, i'll get hit with a minor shadow like every other day.
I know the seeds are working.  I'm considering using a round of psilo tea for the final KO punch if I continue to get shadows.  I guess i'm spoiled because I can deal with shadows.  The one thing we all know about shadows is that the cycle isn't completely over till you get nothing for days on end.

David, my pattern this summer has almost been identical to yours.  It's been an on and off cycle for a couple of months with lower kip CH or shadows.  I've been shadow free for 2 days now and had 3 tasty beers last night.  No hits through the night or this morning.
I'm hoping that last dose of seeds from Sunday night did the trick.
