BTW, while I am generally satisfied with the beer that has been in my fridge, I am GASing for some replacement units.
    While we're diverging anyway...

    I had a party a few weeks ago with 50+ people, and bought 4 cases of beer for it. At the end of the night, a total of 25 beers had been drunk. Only 25 beers!!

    So we got to take home 3 cases of mixed beers, which brings the total in the basement to something like 7 cases of beer. Wowie. I guess that's what you get for not being able to buy 6-packs in PA...

    My circle of acquaintances, I'd need about 20 cases for 50 people and I'd run out of beer. Hell, I've bought three cases just for my personal use last week only, although I've also quite a few left in the fridge. But in the summertime...I can easily gulp down at least a sixpack in the daytime while watching the kids on the beach and another in the afternoon/evening while watching telly with the wife. Not enough to get drunk, but keep a nice warm buzz going & sleep like a baby.

    Come to think of it, I suppose I spend much more on beer yearly than gear. Must be something like 1500 or more at least.

    Just read today that, according to a Gallup poll, out of 155 countries Finland is the second happiest country. http://travel.yahoo.com/p-interests-35010143
    Perhaps their typical beer consumption (exemplified by our good man Dee) has something to do with it?

    Happy in beer, happy in gear...
