one step closer

To setting up the new computer. I do have it up and running but need to figure out how to transfer files to it most effeciently (I.e. every damn flash drive is filled and it's gonna take me some planning.) Also windows 8 can bite me. Want to know how long it took me to figure out how to get to the desktop (yeah yeah reading instructions might have helped).

Booze Report - Penn Brewery's Penn Dark (one from Pittsburgh!) was a very good dark beer, nice and rich with just the right amount of bitter.

And for the Woodchuck Cider fans, I have their limited release - Winter. At first I was like why does it have a piney taste? It really does taste a bit like christmas. Is it rosemary? No....hmmm I know the taste. Okay so finally I look at the label (me and instructions again). it's OAK. AH, so it's brewed and stored like chardonnay. Frankly I think it works so much better in the cider than the wine to be honest. I usually don't like the oak taste but it works here. This is yummy. I like autumn better but this is good.

The meeting at work was a lot less contentious than imagined. Thank God.
