A friendly place for friends who drink

[Qhrumphf]

Water. Exhausted. It was much colder yesterday but it feels so much colder today.

 

[1977Brewer]

Coff. It's beautiful here. Sorry not sorry.

Yeah.... Trying to be half funny with it but my half drunken self couldn't get that across obviously haha. You win some, you lose some.

Did you hear Donald Trump wants to ban the sale of pre-shredded cheese?

He's going to make America grate again.

Awesome. "Borrowed" this.

Winter has finally arrived in West MI. Wife and kids are home with a snow day. At work, drinking coffee, gonna get some spreadsheets done.

Fins is just old enough to remember Ice Cube in 'Are we there yet?,' so I can understand why he's defending him so feverishly.

 

[WesleyS]

Coffee. Toes number already...

Well, we're waiting. How long does it take to number your toes?

 

[Hello]

Hey folks, if anybody has time to look over a recipe, I would appreciate some feedback. I'll try not to turn this into an "evaluate my recipe" thread, but this is my next brew (when my back is strong enough to manage it) and I want to eliminate any glaring mistakes before I brew it! According to Brewer's Friend, it hits all the numbers pretty much right in the middle for the sweet stout style. I'm shooting for a marshmallow fluff and peanut butter on white bread kinda thing. And I have no idea how to get a great, creamy head, like on Guinness, but that would be great. I will be bottle conditioning. Any thoughts would be appreciated. @Hello: if interested in a mutual brew, I would gladly buy the ingredients, split the wort and let you keg some? (Also, let me know if you still need bottles). http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/295261/fluffernutter-sammie-stout (Hoping this works with out having to print the whole thing here...fingers crossed.)

I don't think you need special roast and black malt. I would stick with special roast. Too much roasty dark malts may over power the adjuncts. Put your lactose and PB powder in at 10 min. Do you need PB powder? I have a bunch and I don't want it to go off. I bought it in bulk at Sam's.

Overall, I'd say that this looked good. I've never heard of Amber malt. Any reason you're using that over caramel or something?

Coffee...water...feeling like I am in DGAF mode. Waiting for my work to approve some junk and it seems like it is taking longer than it should. Suck ass.

You get me.

They number 10 right now. Maybe I might lose a few to frostbite later though. We'll see.

More coffee.

I knew you'd be back.


Contemplating a second cup of coffee and the consequences of not working today. Kid was sick and running fever again last night. Always something. Almost couldn't get her to take her heart medicine and she refused to take ibuprofen for her fever. She's so stubborn. I remember when I was a kid, if my dad told me to take medicine, it wasn't up for debate.
No one cares, tl;dr, ignore

Dude. My kid... 'But dad, I just don't!'

To everything I tell her to do.

She laughs when I spank her (unless it's hard enough to hurt my hand) and she goes ape when I put her in timeout.

Three year olds are awesome.

That is unfortunate. hope she's well soon.

Yeah, time out, sending her to her room, she yells and screams at me. And she always has to try to get the last word. We're always telling her if she would just stop talking about 10 seconds sooner she wouldn't get in so much trouble. I swear she's a little teenager and she's only five. I don't even want to think about when she's actually in her teens.

I tell mine that if she doesn't behave we will get rid of the Disney Jr. Channel.
For the older buys they are in constant threat of wiping the memory from their x-box and their phones to be reported as stolen and shut off.

Works everytime.

 

[geoffey]

That's how much its worth, they will want to buy it for 350k

I may just do that...a lot number, no bill of material, let the outside sales guy assigned to that account to do his job and negotiate based on competitors numbers

Typical inside sales guy attitude [emoji6]

I seriously wonder sometimes why we put to much work into bids though when so many projects are negotiated after the fact.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Did she have surgery? I'm just glad medicine has come so far. When I had to take it at that age until about 10 years old, it was about 12 battery sized pills. Now it's just one or two.

Exactly! We have a lot of feeders in our area...so everybody wants to know what everybody else is quoting so they can compare it. Its a pain in the ass

She had surgery at six days old to correct a major heart defect. Thankfully, we haven't had any complications from the surgery since then, just regular checkups to make sure everything is still fine. But, recently we noticed she was tired a lot and had no energy sometimes. So, her cardiologist has her wearing a heart monitor 24/7 and found a problem with her heart beating way faster than it should sometimes and it's not related to her activity level. It's called something, but I can't remember what it is right now. So, they're regulating it with medicine. I hate that she has to deal with all this at such a young age and for the rest of her life.

Tachycardia? I had surgery when I was 3, essentially to fix kinked aorta. Really lucked out.. Aside from not being allowed to play high-impact sports, even though I did some anyway.. it hasn't been a huge downer. Except, going to a dentist. I need to pre-med and I hate it. I've got the things you just listed that she has. Heart will just race for a few seconds for no reason. The first time it happened I freaked. Now I know how to manage it.

Yeah, can't imagine that... Hope everything goes well for her though.

Yeah, that's the one. SVT for short. Her cardiologist said when she's older she might be able to learn to control it when it happens without medicine like you said.

Thanks man.

Yeah sorry, not trying to drag it out.. but if want to talk about it, I live it so can help/suggest alternatives.

 

[TobyG]

Wait a second, are those k-cups?

I trusted you. I thought I knew you.

They are, but I probably couldn't tell you what's in them. Bunch of stuff wifey was trying out.

 

[WesleyS]

Yeah sorry, not trying to drag it out.. but if want to talk about it, I live it so can help/suggest alternatives.

Sure thing, man. Thanks. She's less than a week into the medicine, so we'll see how this goes with side effects, etc. I'm hoping she will eventually be able to control it on her own when she gets a little older, though. We're not huge into taking pills when it's not entirely necessary.

 

[TheCADJockey]

We're not huge into taking pills when it's not entirely necessary.

I don't do medicine unless absolutely necessary. Not even headache stuff. Just natural health supplements/remedies. Yoga breathing. Etc.

Hoping to get enough snow for them to threaten shutting down the bridges so we get sent home early. Not going to happen, but it's a nice thought.

I heard you guys were supposed to get 18-24 inches. That be enough to shut things down? Also, you see that video of the fool who parked their car next to Lake Erie and it completely froze over? That'll make your day.

Wes, I hope things go well for your daughter.
