A friendly place for friends who drink

I would also have accepted this:

 

Thank you! It's nice having them cheer me on.

I'll take it off your hands. It's usually single bottles here (limit 2) and at least $6 each. Quite frustrating to not be able to get an actual 4 pack. I think I got 6 bottles last year between numerous stores.

 

I could have walked out of there with 2 cases. But for that price, I can find something nearly as good for half the price.

 

Is this better?

Good morning, friendly friends.

 

I was thinking more along the lines of this:

I feel lucky if I get over 5.

 

Mroing.

 

Anyone seen @TheCADJockey ?

I'm thinking he has his face buried in a .docx right now.

 

Alright, dog is going back in crate from now on. Sucks because he just barks all day. But...

 

Hey, @TheWordDockey, if you reply to this post in the next sixty seconds I'll send you a dankosaurus rex.

 

Aw, too bad buddy. Better luck next time.

Well, he's all worn out and sleeping now.

 

Crate is the best place... Or the back yard if there is not much to destroy.

 

What are your normal basement temps? I do a kolsch every late winter/early spring when my floor temps are a stable 55-60 degrees and it works out great. I throw it on a heating pad for a few days at the end of fermentation for diacetyl rest, then just put the carboys on the floor and they stay nice and cool for a month or so.

 

Ambient is ~68°... floor is closer to 63ish°, I would imagine.

Worked ok for glass directly on the tile floor, but the buckets, not so much. Just doesn't conduct temp that well.

 

Yeah I need a house and fenced yard.

 

Stupid washing machine is on the brink, thing is almost 10 years old. I guess I know where the 800 bucks that I made Sunday is going.

I remember having the same washer and dryer set throughout my childhood, goes to show that tings are not made like they use to be.

I was so opposed to the fenced in yard when we bought our house. Now, I couldn't imagine living without being able to just open the door and let the monsters go running loose into the yard.

 

Not sure what that one is from. i skimmed through the whole Duran Duran video.

I do love 80's music and videos.

That has actually fixed it. Thanks.

Tall, tanned, young and lovely.........

( I stayed near Ipanema Beach when I was there. Slept on a 10x8 floor with 3 other blokes. Classy as flock)

 

Same goes for kids.

My 3 year old just found out that she can go in and out as she pleases (within reason) and is on cloud 9.

 

Just went on a tour of the preschool by our house that we may send all 3 kids to in the fall. Then I saw the tuition rates. Looks like I'll have to give up good beer and go back to drinking busch light.

 

It's movie titled "Blame It On Rio". The lead female's best friend went on to become quite famous...

 

We are looking forward to sending our youngest to regular school instead of daycare in order to get a massive price break. 217 a week to 3.5k a year plus summer programs and after care. It can't possibly be more then 8k total, which would still be FAR less then what we pay now.

 

We pay ~$10k a year for 1 full time and 1 that goes for 10 minutes in the morning and then is dropped off at school, by the daycare, and then stays maybe an hour in the afternoon. We chose to keep my daughter @ the daycare's preschool program.

We will have two part timers come this August so a little will be saved.

 

Why would you ever be opposed to a fenced backyard?

 

If you're ever ISO, I've got the hookup.

 

Kind of anti-social. I grew up on a dead end street in a neighborhood filled with kids...and no fences. We had the run of the neighborhood. We played football on a "field" that spanned 3 yards. We played with the kids on the next street over by walking though our back-yards. We had neighborhood 4th of July parties that involved everyone in the neighborhood just carrying their picnic tables, grills and coolers to a central location for the day.

I'd much rather my kids grow up in that environment than the urban-sprawl "stay out of my yard" neighborhood I now live in...where everyone has a fence around their yard. But it is nice for the dogs.

 

We pay to have the kids in an after school program 2 or 3 days a week for ~$25 per day. I just come in a few minutes late on the days I put them on the bus.

 

I can understand that. You can still have a friendly neighborhood feel though. I grew up with fenced yards and all of us neighborhood kids would still play basketball in the front yard and run to my backyard with the trampoline etc. Anyways do kids even play anymore besides their iphones?

 

And without a backyard it's hard to drink beer and grill in your skivvies.

 

@TogyG or anybody else...the gal is in New Orleans for a few days for work, she's actually in Metairie on Causeway blvd just south of lake pontchartrain. Apparently the hotel restaurant left a little to be desired, any thoughts nearby there for a solid joint to have something local? She does have a car but is a bit hesitant to travel too far.
Thanks all!

 

I haven't had 4 squared. Fireman's was a bit sweet for my preferences. Had a Decadent from Ska to close the night.

Try the Little Professor sour stout - damn nice beer. Will be canned soonish.

Water and a walk with the fam-damly here soon.

 

So I woke up this morning to constant gunfire and then news about Brussels. Not a good sign.

Of course the gunfire is a lot less exciting than it sounds. I live across a highway from a military base and they sometimes run drills at 7am for whatever reason (blanks I assume). Usually I'm up by then but got to sleep in a bit today.

This. I have bbqed chicken wings in nothing but a t-shirt and case of coors light. Best Super Bowl party ever.

 

Our neighborhood is getting more kids in it...and they do play. The difference is, they have to come to our door to see if our kids in the backyard. When we were kids, we just saw the other neighborhood kids in the backyard and walked back.

My dogs are little and harmless, but I do like that the kids usually come to the door before they go back in the yard. I like to make sure the kid is not going to be scared of the mongrels before I cut them loose in the same fenced in yard. My dogs are very high energy...especially in their own yard. Some kids get a little scared of the craziness.

 

Google or Yahoo the make, model and symptom. They are still easy to fix if you have basic skills. Washer at our old house was having issues in the winter, turned out it was a common problem with a simple fix. Zip tie the water flow meter so it would stay horizontal, something about cold water causing molded rubber tubing to twist . It worked with out issue after that so WTH do I know.

 

I just assumed 'monsters' = 'kids'
