That was my weekend after the 2yo got food poisoning and blew up the weekend at the cabin. Instead of snowboarding I put in recessed lighting. Not as fun...

I have a couple of those to install. The others were easy because there wasn't any insulation above them. These have fluffy loose insulation where they're going, so I can either cut the hole and let it fall all over me or maneuver my fat rear through the small attic area above and clear the insulation out of the way. Good thing I'm not putting in a lot of them.

I put in 8 and it's the first floor, so I had to cut a strip of the ceiling out 18' long by 16" wide so I could run a new circuit to all the lights. But, we no longer have dark corners where you can't see the kids, so that's nice.

Yeah, that's a lot of work. At least mine have been, and are, replacing existing light fixtures so no running new wire. I like the look of recessed lights much better, plus I'm doing LEDs, so no constant bulb replacing.
 
I haven't picked up any of the variants. I was excited when they announced them until I saw that they weren't going to be BBA like the regular Imperial Stout. I might have I try that one, though. I love coconut beers.


First variant I've had. It's good. More coconut flavor than death by coconut.
 
Hop Lobsta!

It's a muthafuqin Lobsta!

Went for sushi with a friend tonight. Good times. Now having a Trois Pistoles, 9% abbey style dark ale
 
Anyone try either of these new ones from Ballast Point? Honestly, I just think they are going off their rocker with the success of Grapefruit Sculpin last year. Pineapple sculpin was alright, not nearly as good as grapefruit IMO.

Then we get to this POS. I saw it on the shelf and looked up the ratings. Not terribly good, or bad. But almost every review said something like "if you like watermelon jolly ranchers, this is for you." So after hastily changing my pants, I try one once I get home and its god awful. The alcohol is right there up front and it tastes like a poorly made vodka drink from like a highschool party. Ugh, I was practically running over to put my mouth on the kegerator IPA faucet to swish the taste out of my mouth


Yep, this was a dumper for me. And I didn't like the regular Dorado either. And I this Grapefruit Sculpin is worthless. Done buying fruit Sculpins. Regular Sculpin is pretty good though.
