View attachment 326402floors finally done. 3 coats of poly. And a celebration water

Welcome to the new off topic thread. Same as/better than the old drinking thread.

Moar counter pics...

Thats a lotta knob.

Mornin all. Hope your countertops didnt take too much of a beating last night. Maybe this thread outgta be renamed whats on your counters now and general rambling.
 
You folks were busy last night. So much counter top porn to **** it to...I mean wait a minute.

Nos Zero. Almost all the energy, none of the calories, three times the carcinogens.

Gym in about 20. Then brewing again. Then I suppose I should put some bigger guns in the fridge for tonight. Happy New Years, floccers.

Someone just could not sleep for one more hour, not pointing any fingers. Get to have a coffee at home before work at least. Hopefully short day today.

Wait - I thought you got to leave work a whole hour early today?! :ban:

French press. Have to do my self evaluation today - no more putting it off :(

I think I shall milk that task until 2 when the day is done.
 
That sponge candy stout going to die tonight?

I haven't decided on that one yet; I almost want to keep it to myself, it's really good. If I take it out, everyone will want to try it despite being available local and it will go to waste. The Tank 7 is my midnight champagne for the evening, if I can wait that long.

Wait - I thought you got to leave work a whole hour early today?!

Technically, yes. Once all the engineers leave at noon, there's not much left for me. I'll chill and answer questions until the sales people calm their nuts, then i'll leave.

So. Got quoted in another thread I may have posted in once before, go to see what's going on and am assaulted by a shirtless Billy-klub. It's been a rough morning.
 
After a bazillion questions for @drunklejon I've got my first pork shoulder on the smoker

And grains in the mash tun

Waiting in my tardy buddy to get before I hit the sauce. He's got 15 minutes

Hopefully he doesn't run out to pick anything up or else he may become re-tardy. I kill myself. Hope the pulled pork comes out tasty.

Someone looks like thy've just been berated for leaving a small blob of dog custard on the wood flooring. (Nice flooring BTW but this is not the thread for that sort of smut, keep it above the waist please; counter-level preferably)


Way to pull those emotional Jenga blocks back out of my heart after I restocked them so carefully yesterday. Too soon man. Too soon..... sniff..


Not working today so please all keep any bad work-coffee and/or work-related disquiet to oneself. Don't spoil it for the rest of us. :D

Tea soon.

Oh not at all, she's been really good. It's the squeaking man. Was ripped from beautiful sleep to her running laps around the house squeaking her toy. Over and over and over. Thanks, I love the floors. Still trying to make the house feel like home though, lacking some decent furniture. Maybe this year.

Time to go fight through the geeks fighting over donuts so I can get a chewy office coffee.
 
Why did I think working out this morning was a good plan? Ugh. Good news is I finally busted the plateau. Doubling down upper body weight day into one day instead of two and adding in an extra HIIT day (plus mini HIIT circuits to knock me out after weight days) did the trick. Fun cardio. Not treadmill. I hate treadmill. Feels like a gerbil. I suppose if I'm going to run I should just do it outside.

Drinking protein, relaxing for a bit, and then getting my brew back on. Kitchen sink Belgian Pale Ale-ish beer (but significantly stronger), will be top cropping from the other day's Witbier. Pils malt, some scattered leftover Belgian and US crystal malts, a few ounces of leftover Munich, the dregs of some bitter orange peel, some excess #1 Invert from the other day, and the last of my non-UK hops (bittered with leftover Magnum and late hops are leftover Hallertau). Aiming for 18.5°P and ~8.2% ABV.
