    JAOM refractometer reading

    If you want to take a stab at figuring out your approximate OG and/or abv at this point you can try "backing out" the original gravity from the calculation with a calculator like this one at Northern Brewer ... you just need your refractometer AND an accurate hydrometer...

    Is it just me.....

    Think of it as a sort of Forum-Posting-Tourette's. (hereafter known as FPT)

    planning a homestead, suggestions?

    Make sure you like goat first. Jerked goat and curried goat are good bets. Goat vindaloo. You might try and find some goat or at least mutton in advance to make sure you and any family will find it palatable.

    Pranks

    Never been much for pranks myself (neither giving nor receiving) but like hearing about a good one and always thought one of the best was back in 1989 when billionaire Sir Richard Branson had a hot air baloon made to look like a flying saucer with blinking, circling lights etc and hired some...

    Friday night date night

    I'm going to venture a guess here ... would it be accurate to say "kids do that to ya". I'd suppose possibly nicer with the Similac crowd than Metamucil crowd as well.

    Bars & Taverns gone by ... just one more beer.

    Yep ... That is the restaurant Jimmy Hoffa disappeared from. 15mile & Telegraph rd in Bloomfield township. In the Devito movie "Hoffa" they portrayed Jimmy disappearing from a roadside diner ... nothing could have been further from the truth. Jimmy actually disappeared from one of the finest...

    Bars & Taverns gone by ... just one more beer.

    Another one ... There was a great little restaurant in Northville, Michigan called "Little Italy Ristorante" ... Decided today I wanted to take the better half there for dinner. It's gone. A real shame. What a great place it was for a romantic dinner. Great Italian food ... great veal...

    You goof balls need to pick out a gift for my wife...

    Can we have a clarification regarding your saying it was an "obscure gift" (without using up a full question :-) ... Did you mean it is an obscure item? (in other words, uncommon) ... or is it just obscure as a gift.

    You goof balls need to pick out a gift for my wife...

    Is it something that would be worn on the body.

    You goof balls need to pick out a gift for my wife...

    Ok, here’s what we know so far ..... goofy ... nearly as goofy as something like fishing tackle wife specified she wanted it obscure (or at least obscure as a gift) usually practical woman might mean practical gift smaller than a breadbox gender neutral in todays society can be, or is...

    SWMBO is a bit of a bloody genius!

    "Premium beer, bottle aged for two months in freshly-cut-pine water." Maybe a juniper gruit in next years bottles? A Christmas tradition in the making!

    does it have anything to do with gaming? ... online or otherwise (not gambling but game-playing).

    Regular European TV broadcast available online??

    @trussell Are you using the pay-for version or the free version? After reading around, it appears the free version is ad-sponsored and so loads quite a bit of ad-crap which slows the connection down. It would appear the pay-for version does not have this problem. I am going to be doing this...

    Regular European TV broadcast available online??

    Thanks again GF. Yeah, I need the video portion to queue me into what they are talking about. Went to that deutsche welle site with high hopes ... tried it on Firefox, Chrome and also MSIE. Even with the max permissions ... nothing. I think they are also blocking U.S. IP's from the German...

    Is it just me.....

    I don't know why but the Red Kettle bell ringing always reminds me of Monty Python's "Bring Out Your Dead" skit. Yes. Strange. I know. I guess there's just something very ancient about summoning people with a bell. Admittedly, I think they'd do better with an accordion. But what do I know eh?
