You are able to keep things clean. (Well, the car was Eric's fault ;-) So brewing beer should be easy enough for you.

Brewing beer takes less effort than making an Ashiko, and you do not have to wake up before the crack of noon to do it.

Get malt & yeast from B&B,
heat up water/malt mixture, let it cool, (this pasteurizes it)
add yeast, put into bucket/bottle with a simple airlock. (starts fermentation)
wait a few days. (Kreb's Cycle - Sugar to Alcohol, Botany 101)
Drink flat, or mix a little sugar in and bottle for a week.

You can make 3 cases of any ale for about $13-$15. Whee!

Yeah, and if the world were just and equitable, some one or two of you drum kids would wash it for me... *opts not to hold breath*

I was going to dust it, but then KP drew all the cool little logos on it and I am not one to destroy works of art.

Your appreciation of the art world is duly noted. You need not fear in any case, for behold, my list of "People to Speak About Concerning the Car Situation" begins with Mr. Simpson.

as luck would have it you know a man who sews well and brews beer so you will learn when you are ready. we even got the stuff over here so you can learn here without having to buy all the junk first. :)
