Quite night tonight. Put the younglings to bed and now I'm sitting on the porch drinking a beer and listening to the rain.ipe:
Not sure why but I when I listen to instrumental music I prefer somber pieces. The artwork in this video is also a plus.
I'm seriously getting to use to being unemployed. I worked hard for thirty plus years but I'm too young and not rich enough to be forever unemployed. Guess I'll enjoy this while it lasts but hopefully that won't be much longer or I'll truly go nuts.
Evening All. Been a Hot dry day in the southern desert. 105\110 degrees depending on what part of town. Can truly say dry heat, 4% RH. Drink lots of water, stay in the shade, no shorts on the vinyl seats, burn the back of ur thighs! Summer is here.
Gentlemen, looks like we are all doing well with the turn of the seasons! (I hope all of our dogs stay healthy and have speedy recoveries!)
I'm currently building myself a fermentation chamber because I can't brew due to the fact I'm moving in 20 days... Life's good! I've just been reading your posts with not much to chime in with, but no complaints. It's always a good time here.
Question for everyone: Does anyone have an idea for what to do with a cooler my mother gave me (attached) ? Currently I'm doing extract but plan on moving to AG in the near future (aka I was hoping to use this for brewing!). Any idea would be appreciated!!
Cheers mates!

Yeah, I don't think that those are good for much other than filling with ice and beer. They don't have any refrigeration. I guess it might make a decent swamp cooler or a portable kegerator?
It has wheels. You coud ride it down a big hill. Your ideas are probably better though.

This was a very long day. I have higher hopes for tomorrow. ...Dan, centipedes are creepy as they get.
You could wet a line every now and then Dan. Or take up scuba diving. Find a friend with a boat. Whatever you do don't take a charter to go fishing. They stick it to the haoles and don't let you keep much of the fish.
That's not a bad idea at all. I have a retired brother-in-law with a boat, he's quite the fisherman. I might have to ask if I can go with him sometime.

There is a Philippine market fairly close by. Tons of fresh veggies and fresh fish. The moment you walk in the smell of fish hits you smack in the face, very fresh fish though. Some of them still alive. Last time we were there I watched a young gal clean a yellow tail. She was pro. I don't know how much the fish weighed but it was pretty big, she finished cleaning and cutting it within a minute or two. Man it looked good!
I was stationed on Oahu from 77 to 81. I did a lot of fishing, peackcock bass on the the crystal clear freshwater interior lakes, saltwater from boats and the reefs. Good times and good eating.
Quick story: My best friend and I went on the reef out near Kanehoe. Gilbert had done this growing up in Guam and warned me to watch the water level under me while on the reef for any big waves that come in. What that means is a big wave will draw more water away from the shore before it crashes. We both hooked decent fish and didn't pay attention. I got mine in close and happened to notice that we were missing about 4ft of water below us and looked up just in time to get knocked a$$ or tea kettle by a big wave. Rolled me all over the coral and rocks. When I got clear, I started looking for Gilbert, who was much smaller than me and couldn't find him. About that time, I saw one of his flip flops go floating by. I started worrying about what I was going to have to tell his wife and yelled his name a couple of times. I hear a groan coming coming from a crevice in the coral near me and found Gilbert all twistd up in there. Helped him out and, other than some bumps and a lot of scrapes, he was Ok. Then he got a big grin and holding up his catch, says "At least I didn't lose my fish!" I had lost mine.
Dan, my last dog was a long haired mutt I rescued and would develop matts behind her ears and as she was a bit nippy initially would not let me trim her. One night I must have gained her trust( or she was hot) she allowed me to cut out the matts and me having imbibed a bit decided why should I stop?
I proceded to cut her entire coat with scissors, giggling the entire time, you want to see a bad cut?I don't think you could do a worst job! I did have a couple of people inquire, I just laughed, she was happy and cool, I bought clippers shortly after and made her much more presentable although I still laugh to my self when I think about it.
That's a great story! I would have never tried cutting my dogs hair before the move to Hawaii and job hunt. Pretty sure after some time and experience the cuts will get better.
Cheers my friend and thank you for sharing your experience !
