It's bizarre to me: the MILs room is absolute chaos. The MILs place 3 hours away is chaos. But somehow she finds it necessary to make our bed every morning. It's taken months and much grief to get her to stop that bs. She's like a self-appointed relationship custodian. My wife says her mom has...

I've dealt with my issues. My wife has dealt with hers. We both continue to work on ours and each others issues. Lord knows we all have 'em. But my MIL and stepFIL: Geezalou! I tell you they operate from a basis of chaos. And, the more they can muddle, confuse and distract from fixing things...

Good friggin' point. I've tried talking to the guy. Out of respect for his age, I've lightly broached the topic when he is sober and when it is just me and him. He acts like he is oblivious to it all. Then when he drinks he brings up one grievance after another. So many that it makes it...

Oh and guess who got a new car soon after. The freakin' MIL! aka: Woman Hitler. The mouse car was a jalopy, and since my MIL still takes the kid to school I figured a safer and cleaner car was the right thing to do.

MIL is a filthy beast. Funniest story ever (I was fuming angry at the time), but incredibly funny now: About 2 years ago the MIL took the wife's car and the wife had the MIL's car. I get a frantic call from my wife, "OMG! While I was driving the car on the freeway a mouse poked it's head out...

MIL's common law husband back at her place is an absolute prick and when he gets drunk he is worse. Not physically but verbally and mentally abusive. My wife has this need to protect her mom. Which I'm ok with. But her mom, I'm starting to learn, brings a lot it on herself. She has very...

What does this have to do with brewing? Not very friggin' much, but I'm at a complete loss and it is the general chit chat forum. So I hope I'm not too far off topic: I don't know whether to laugh or cry: So I suggested that my MIL alternate a week at her own place and a week at our place...

Update: The MIL is scheduled to move back to her condo, 3 hours away, today. I can’t wait for Monday to see if the MIL shows up at my place or not. Also, my wife has the MIL reading this book called “Boundaries.” I read part of the damn book and told my wife, “See...

Yeah, i'll keep you posted. And yeah, i posted about that neighbor that gave me crap about the fond memories my daughter will have about me brewing. The whole thing with the MIL is pretty sad. My wife is trying to be there for her mom, but her mom is just meddling entirely too much and I've...

She was just here one day. I remember the conversation about maybe her moving in and i distinctively remember being against it. I've tolerated it because she does do the dishes and cooks (but the food is crap). But it's gotten to the point where they're the decision-makers and i'm a frickin side...

How funny: me and this mcarb guy sound a lot alike, and the behaviors of our women sound alot alike too. What can I say man, this relationship needs a lot of maintenance and more beer.

Thanks for the feedback. I know this was an off topic post but I'm a bit frustrated. I'm due for a brew day.

Wtf?! My mother in law is worse than a drill sergeant. She is always there...Always. So much so that when my wife gets home I can't get in the word hello before they go off on their female dialogue. What to do to send her away? I've tried direct commo but no help. She's making me suicidal. :)

Coast Appliances is pretty helpful. I tried to replace just the capacitor, but no luck; no one carried that capacitor. My board was discontinued but Coast had one for $20. I replaced the board and the wine cooler works fine.

Probably just gonna skip it.

Check out this pic. I'm trying to decide whether to install this sight window or not. It would be cool to have but may increase the probability of leakage and other potential problems.

Great friggin' idea! Gonna do that next time for sure!

It was enough pool water to fit in the opening of the ball valve. A tablespoon at most. Is that enough to be concerned or take any kind of action ?

Pool was 67 degrees. water from hose was about 70. Maybe I need to watch the clock closer next time. I'll time it with a watch next time. Maybe I'm off in describing the timing.

Here is the website and wort chilller description. http://www.breworganic.com/basiccopperwortchiller.aspx Like you said it is supposed to chill down to 70 degrees in about 20 minutes. I've never had that kind of timing. I stir the chiller every once in a while, but yeah that is a bit...
