Dale I know Australian lager by Coopers very well. It was one of the first kits I tried. Very good stuff. If you get back into it try substituting half the powdered malt extract with honey. Let it ferment a little longer for the honey sugars to break down. Man that is some good stuff.

 I agree the carbonation systems work great. I also use a homemade racking system to ease the process a bit.  You can pick up old soda kegs that have been refinished for about 10 bucks. Those are next on my list.
 I also want to try to make a mead. go real old school and try that. maybe even open fermantation to see what nature brews for me ;)

Matts right Guinness hits the spot for relaxing.

 But when that doesn't work and I am stressed out I hit the gym. A long hard workout is what usually helps me. Then more Guinness ;)

It depends on where you go and the length you want but on average I would say 19- 79 cents a piece. for the type the stores use. I usually look for the 4 packs ratehr than seperate. those run about $2.00 for 4 inch peg hooks

Matt
 to elaborate on the fragments part. No not bullets although I have been shot once but that didn't require surgey thank God. It was superficial.  The fragments were metal and rock. i was close to an explosion and it send the chards flying everywhere. I had a vest on but they don't cover everything so basically my left upper chest area from my peck over to my arm was hit. I had to have about 20 pieces taken out.  Not fun considering they were in there for about 30 hours before I was taken care of. No major damage just a bunch of 1-2 inch scars.

I've been under the knife a few times. Never a pleasant experiance but atleast no serious complications.
 First time was in 1993. That was to remove fragments from my upper chest.

 The next time was in 1994. I had my knee scoped. That wasn't to bad. I would say it felt like more of a pressue in my knee that any pain. I was afraid if I bent it it would blow out the side ;)
 It all turned out OK. It still feels stiff when its this damn cold out.

 The last time so far was in 2000. I hurt my back at work and had a lower discectomy. They removed parts of 2 vertibre(sp?) and then cut out part of the disc. I will say that after I woke up from the surgery it was instant relief from the pain. I actually looked forward to the surgery to get the pain over with.

 Since then .. knock on wood... every thing is AOK.

Dale's right if you get a chance to skydive do it.  

As far as flying I love it.  I get up in a bi plane a few times a year and its such a rush to be in an open air cockpit.  I am sure alot of people have heard of the EAA convention. Thats about an hour away from me and they have some great old planes to take people up in. Its something I would highly recommend seeing once if you like airplanes or the whole history of flight.
 I have had plenty of time in the air from my Army days. I got myself my master para wings :) If you guys think a commercial jet is scary fly in an old C130. I swear you think its going to rattle apart.
