All this while taking care of the little one while my wife returns to work; I'd say mission accomplished.
Like many other obsessed homebrews, I've had a MoreBeer! BrewSculpture on my agenda since they were first available. The budget seems to be closing in and any given incentive discount could trigger a call to MoreBeer's metal shop (there's typically a discount for the base sculpture during fall).
