I can imagine. Once the brain gets to working, and talking, and thinking and literally speaking out-loud; the damn thing just doesn't want to sleep. Cheers my friend. Hope you can get some snoozing in soon.

I've never had a new puppy inside. They've always been outside with other dogs since they were brought home. It's been 8 years since I've had a puppy at all. Trying to find some pigeons locally is getting me nowhere. I found a guy with quail and pheasant locally for good prices, quail are so stinking fast, and pheasant so big for such a small pup. Maybe I can take a trap down to the mall and catch a few. Think they'd mind? I feel like I've forgotten all together how to train a bird dog. This will be my third trained from a puppy and my fifth all together, but it's been so long that it's like starting over. I hate to be the selfish jerk, but I have to admit, I'm kind of glad to be working graveyard shift for the next month or so. Mwahahaha

Dan said:Snaps, I don't think you have anything to feel guilty about. Four children, great wife and making great memories and nice life for your family. Yore a good dude. Midnight shifts come and go. Family is for life. Cheers to you brother!
snaps10 said:Are you putting flea powder on the carpet and in the vacuum bag before vacuuming? I remember when we were kids my parents owned a janitorial business. They brought home fleas from a house they cleaned in the vacuum cleaner. My mom out flea powder down on the carpet, and for a while in the vacuum bag every time she emptied it.
Yep, but not for long. Was teaching tonight and that always makes it hard to get to sleep after.
Another educator. What do you teach?
I teach during the day and have a Monday evening class from 7 - 10PM. Physically dead beat tired, but brain is spinning down like a dynamo. Beer slows it down really quick
I teach law to paralegals. Currently, two nights 6:30 - 9:30. What do you teach?
She's a Chesapeake Bay Retriever.
I like music that makes me think of tropical beaches when I want to relax.

Hmm, I back sweetened and carbonated a two liter of cider. Yeah, that's dangerous. It didn't register as particularly alcoholic on my nose, throat, or stomach. I'm tipsy after 2 six oz glasses though. The carbonic acid from the carbing is perfect for cider. It gives you a tanginess that is great with the cider flavor.
Haha! If you suddenly stop posting we will know why.Nice. I've been working through some milk stout that I made last spring. I really am not a fan of the style, but this brew is mighty tasty after 6 months. I have another case that I am going to reserve for when I get snowed in with a nor'easter this winter.
I've got Merlot waiting to be bottled, as soon as I collect (i.e. drink through) about 6 more bottles. Got apfelwein waiting for secondary, and I have the ingredients for some English IPAs that I can brew as soon as we get some legit fall weather and my equipment room gets down into the low 60s. Almost there.
And, oh yeah, I've got my Brett/lacto berliner weisse-ish brew and a gallon of straight Brett fermenting away. Scary-ass ferments...I am almost afraid that something is going to grab my ankle and drag me into the primary if I walk too close to it.
Haha! If you suddenly stop posting we will know why.
I've got a gallon and a half of something that should be apple cider vinegar by now. The maybe infected mead fermented in a pumkin. Two fermentors with that something awful in it. The black cherry wine with the ginormous starter and the DME. And finally, some straight up hard apple cider only slightly spiked with sugar.
I'll probably put the something awful and the cider on tap in a couple more weeks.
It might sound bad, but I don't see the point in fermenting something with less then a 10% intended ABV. If I want soda, I'll have soda. If I want juice, I'll have juice. If I'm going to have wine, cider, etc... I want it to have enough kick that I know I had something to drink...

That attitude would make for a very short evening for me. I like my inebriation to embrace me slowly and tenderly like a gentle octopus as the evening progresses. I like watching the progression of the slow loss of my faculties. Watch 'Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas' and you'll get what I mean.
EDIT: The above was written while downing a few glasses of commercial Merlot ~ 10% ABV, so I guess I am less than consistent in this regard.
I enjoy a lot of kinds of drinks. Most of then non-alcoholic actually.It does indeed sound bad. But you don't like beer, so what the hell do you know? I like beer and I like to drink a bunch of it. So low abv is good by me. I haven't drank a soda in at least a couple years. That stuff will kill you.
That's an awesome movie.That attitude would make for a very short evening for me. I like my inebriation to embrace me slowly and tenderly like a gentle octopus as the evening progresses.

Right. I avoid high alcohol beers. I do like my red wine though. Cab or Rioja preferred.
That's an awesome movie.
