So the inspector came and noticed things he didn't last time. He says the Electricians were still working on these things the last time he inspected us. So we have 9 things to fix, 4 must be fixed immediately, before we can get electricity. The inspector maintains that the Electricians just didn't do the job right. Sooooo....the electricians will be coming in tomorrow to do these fixes and the inspector says if we get them done same day he might be able to fit us in. So I assume we'll have electricity by say December at the latest.

Until then we will have some of the Maduro Oatmeal Brown Ale at a beer dinner at NoHo Bistro hosted by myself and Beth Rutledge of JJ Taylor. The food at NoHo is excellent. Very inventive and always tasty, so if you want hang out, eat some great food and talk beer with me and Beth tickets are still on sale. Here is the menu and contact info:
