Folks,   Yesterday afternoon, we dropped the UPod off at the transport location.  We had spent the entire day prior packing it into boxes and putting it on the pod.  Finished a little after midnight 13 Jun 2026.  Over the next few days and weeks, MacRorie (that's me, the mountain man looking guy) will disappear from the website.  You will deal with Dan (the civilized looking guy).  He has everything I had and then some.  He's a nice person.  I think it's as good of a fit as anything.   Thus ends my formal association with The Brewing Academy after...

I have never been before so I am looking forward to it and learning a lot. See you on the other side! -M -N6MIV

Hello all,   As you probably noticed by the popup, we will be closed for two weeks. The family and I are going to India, which is cool.  We are going to see family, which--as you may know about me--is akin to torture. What does this mean to you?  Well, all orders after Tuesday, 17 Mar will be delayed until 10 April.  I am not sitting on any builds and all orders prior to that date were cleared. If you placed an order after 0001 PDT 18 March 2026, you acknowledge that it will not even BEGIN to be processed...
