Here's the plan

Alright! The wife left town this morning. She won't be back until Monday. It fundamentally sucks. BUT on the other side of the coin I have decided to give my weekend to IT certification. I have a few options.

1) Just drive my efforts into CCNP, I know I won't pass Route in a weekend. But there are some good lab hours in there
2) My job has a small pile of WLC and aeronet stuff. I think it's enough to cover the lab for the CCNA:Wireless. Top it off, I have the CBTnuggets AND the book for it. I MIGHT be able to learn this in a weekend bootcamp style! 3 ten hour days? (Worth mentioning I already did the certified wireless admin stuff last year)
3) Exchange, I have the experience and probably just need to read the book/questions and I could certify up, no problem

I lost my ASA access for the time being so that is a bust. Anyhow, any thoughts? OH! I'll also need a beer recommendation.

    Study, really? My wife and kids are out of the country for another week; I'm racing to paint as many rooms as I can as well as regrouting/sealing the bathroom and kitchen.

    It seems a lot of material to cram into a weekend; good luck with it.

    I had one of these at a local bar. It was delicious and 9%.

    Oh yeah, good luck studying too I guess. ;)

    Ended up messing with Cisco wireless stuff all night. Was fun. But without more equipment I think I am not learning anything. Might just mess with CCNP all weekend.

    I recommend Corsendonk Brown Ale. I had a Young's Double Chocolate Stout last weekend and it was mighty tasty as well. Pair either with a nice cigar while you can get away with it. Otherwise, go for a seasonal microbrew.

    What version of Exchange are you studying?

    Wow Claymoore.. I didn't notice that Dos Equis in your avatar until today. Are you trying to insinuate that you are the most interesting man in the world?

    Corsendonk, there is a beer I haven't heard of for a while. Belgium brewed I believe.

    Young Double Chocolate is defiently doable, but I am more of a Oatmeal Raisen Stout guy, perferably from Samuel Smith.

    Then of course there is McEwans.

    Hyper-me said he was 'the most interesting" prior to the avatar change.
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    No more than the Einstein avatar insinuated that I was the smartest man in the world. It was just time for a change.

    Samuel Smith makes some fine beers. Had the Nut Brown Ale recently, but it's been a while since I had the Oatmeal Stout or the Taddy Porter.

    I normally prefer lighter beers, such as Sam Adams Summer Wheat or Blue Moon's Honey Moon summer beer, when out walking the dogs in the evening. Then I was in Atlanta this summer and stayed in a county that doesn't have liquor stores. Cigars give my wife a migraine, so I only have a smoke when I am on the road and I was looking forward to relaxing with a nice cigar. I prefer rum with my cigar, but there was no rum to be found. It made more sense to pair a dark beer with a smoke and I managed to find a few that I enjoyed. Actually, with six weeks on the road supporting clients in Atlanta and Jacksonville, I enjoyed more than a few stouts and stogies.
