I like this time at night on HBT

[emjay]

I hope I can get this in while it's still page 701, if not, that's okay. There was this bar in Daytona Beach Florida called 701 South, on A1A avenue. The name of the club and their address were the same, clever I thought. Anyway, one time I got caught up in the middle of a mosh pit and this guy picked me up and threw me out of the way. People that were watching caught me.

There can be real jackasses in mosh pit. You'd be surprised how many people go into them with the primary purpose of injuring others.

Hi everyone! I hope you're all well!

I'm beat down to the ground and a little drunk! Can't complain! Life's good!

Now that's a smooth voice.

Not sure if this is what you had in mind, LG but this video is the beginning of a very happy story. Susan Boyle. Not taken seriously at first and then she begins to sing and she is beautiful.

Thanks guys. Sometimes I depress myself and I need a little kick in the but to get out of it.

Been thinking a bit about WHO I am as of late. Not race or status in life but how I see myself inside my mind and if it is possible even to explain what I think.

Sheesh I cannot even pose the idea in a cognizant manner much less what I see myself as

I have been roaming around in my own head all day today...

Uh, yeah. I guess I should have mentioned this before I started posting directions on meditation. You need to be careful about getting a little to introspective sometimes. Self examination can turn into an obsession much more easily then most people realize...

This is your life. If you spend to much of it looking inward, you're liable to miss the truly beautiful things going on all around you.

I hear you can take the juice in jail and make a little prison hooch

One can do this even when not in prison.

It really doesn't taste bad as long as you use decent juice.

I've posted in many a 'who here kegs wine' thread but for those here... I have a two tap tower and always push one beer and one wine/mead. The beer sits in the fridge and the wine/mead sits outside. Gas is run through a single regulator with a dual splitter and valve on each line. At room temp and regular serving pressure there isn't any noticeable carbonation. The wine/mead line is coiled on the side of the fridge. I believe there's around 25 or so feet coiled in there and it serves a chilled wine with no carbonation.

The need for specialty gases are greatly exaggerated.

 

[Leadgolem]

You guys. I might have to pull the trigger on the co2 setup now. I'd love to be able to force carb some cider or white wine.

I'm going to try and not ramble for once.

I just caught up on the last four pages. Every post is incredible! The breadth of friendship, frailness, compassion, sharing and togetherness, adorns. Really wonderful people here.

 

[Dan]

I look back and realize
My creativeness has passed by
Here's a fun thread some of you know and are a part of
As sure as the night's sky and stars shining above
You will only need to read the first few stages
I combined the responses into a few pages.

Anyone remember Pinky and the Brain?

Yes!! I used to have this friend, well, I still have her as a friend but now she's living back in Maine. But she used to live nearby and would stop by to see me almost every single morning. We went through the routine each morning, she'd ask, so what do you want to do today? And I'd tell her what part of the world we were trying to take over that day. I miss her. Even though sometimes she would annoy me coming around so much. Always wanting to hang out and help me with whatever I was up to that day. I really miss her. Once at a Halloween party, she was my fallen angel. She had a little too much to drink and I had to carry her to the car. I was dressed as a white angel, and she was dressed as a black one, it was kind of funny until she puked in my back seat on the way home.

 

[BobbiLynn]

I better try to get back to sleep here in a minute. But first, about my fallen angel friend, she helped pretty much cure me of my fear of lightning. And also why I don't like people just showing up without calling first. They might catch me doing something very odd.

She comes banging on the door, either had a key or the door was unlocked, I don't remember, this was 12 or 15 years ago and she just came rushing in. The storm was bad and she didn't want to be home by herself. So she rushes in and catches me in my rubber suit. Rubber boots, rubber gloves, rubber coat and hoody, all the rubber pool floaties I had wrapped around my body. No clothes underneath, because cotton or even polyester can easily catch fire if hit by lightning. And she's like, WTF!! I tried to explain that it's possible for lightning to come through a window and into a house. I was prepared. She demanded that I immediately go take off the silly outfit, put some clothes on, then come out to the living room and have a talk with her. The talk must have helped because I no longer dress up in a rubber suit when it's lightning outside. I just stay inside with regular clothes on instead.

Late night listening, if anybody is still up.

We all get wrapped up in our own worries at times. It's good to a have friend to pull us out of that. Truly enjoyed your post. As always.

Well said. Good to have friends.

Funny, I have phobias out the ear and lightning has never been one.

But Im deathly afraid of heights.

Someone thought it would be cool to make staircases out of a clear hard plastic material (like the bulletproof glass in banks). Now, a whole bunch of buildings in Manhattan, including ones I actually have to go to, have them going from the lobby to the second floor. Whomever that person is, I would like to strap to a chair and have baboons throw rotting fruit him/her for 24 straight hours.

I never used to fear heights but as I have got older I can not stand them. I cannot even watch a show on TV where some one is next to a cliff.

Sigh this first camping trip I am going to wire brush all the seams on the roof of my camper and reseal them. Meaning I am going to be drunk as heck and up on the roof

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Ha! Here's the kicker though, Varmint... I have absolutely no fear of flying whatsoever. Figure that one out.

 

[Varmintman]

I have not flown anywhere for a bunch of years so who knows? I do know I really really do not like being even on a ladder so much. I was just thinking though a few years ago while sledding we dropped off a frozen waterfall and that did not bug me.

Another thing that bugs me but not as bad is being at the base of a cliff. On the way to my favorite camping spot the road is super narrow with the Snake River on one side and a cliff that overhangs the road. I do not spend much time at that spot I tell you :rockin:

 

[CreamyGoodness]

My sister in law was married in Mendicino (sp?) CA. To get there you have to go on a cliff that seems to drop about 60 stories on hairpin turns that have sheet metal guardrails. I told my friend driving that if he didnt slow down I was going to poop myself. And if I poop myself in this suit, I am going to murder you.

I dont make threats like that often... but I meant it that time. On both counts.

 

[beaksnbeer]

Cool. I wonder if you can send it to one line that blends with CO2 (for beergas) and one that doesn't (for wine and other still beverages).

The blender is feed CO2 off a reg set to 30 psi for setting seals and purging, the N2 has a dual reg one at 40 psi to blender and one set to 5-7psi for mead/wine/cider/margarita/boatdrinks (I run most of these off a 3gallon keg with a picnic tap) I don't always have room for these as I only have 12 taps, besides I prefer beer. Guess I'm not the best husband I could be:cross:

 

[BobbiLynn]

Well, I haven't been able to seduce any of my son's friends yet and looks like my prospects are getting slimmer as time goes on. Now they are all calling me "mom" even the ones who just stop by. I am making mystery meat casserole tonight, my son is very familiar with it but still isn't sure what kind of meat(s) that is. He told his friends "just eat it and don't think about it". Took the bus to the poor people area of town and picked up some meats cheap. Shut up and eat it. Just wait 'til they try my "chicken surprise", they will love it. And, surprise!!! That's not chicken.

 

[bottlebomber]

Ha! You're awesome Bobbi. Happy Friday

Don't worry Bobbi, you're bound to run into a motherf***er sooner or later.

This ones for Bobbi.

I've always loved this song. It's been done by everyone, and they are all great. It just puts me in the good place - no idea why.

For your late nite soundtrack, the incomparable Doris Day...

I'm not afraid of heights myself. I am afraid of falling and injuring myself. I don't like ladders, but I can walk around on a rooftop without a lot of trouble.

I've never been in a plane, no idea how I'd react.

Hmm, embed code doesn't like dollar signs. The S in the artist name should be a dollar sign.

There is one thing that has always baffled me. Vietnamese. We lost a lot in Vietnam. We lost good people who were doing what their country asked. By force really, draft and all.

I should really read up. I'm old enough to remember the Vietnam war (police action) but quite honestly really don't know exactly why we made it our forefront enemy at the time.

That's not what I would like to address actually but sort of. The next stuff I say will sound biased, racist I suppose. I love Vietnamese food. Ever had it? It can get grouped in with the Asian food but I've found it better than Chicken fried rice, or pork tokatsu, or kimchee, Thai or anything else associated with Asian food.

Vietnamese food is light, the herbs used are bright. Occasionally, I get a pedicure.. you know feet scrubbed and toenail trim. Generally these places I have been to are always run by Vietnamese. Love the smile and song in their voice as much as I love their food.

So that is my ownly exposure to the Vietnamese. If all I knew about them was movies like Apocalypse Now, I''d think them evil

The Vietcong were quite ruthless. As far as I know Vietcong and Vietnam was the same place. The people split. I've never understood South and North Korea either. None of it makes sense.. War in general I don't really get. But, war between people of the same heritage blows my mind. /rant

 

[Leadgolem]

Hmm, my beer has continued to attenuate. It's down to 1.005. I guess I'll leave it a bit longer. I hope I can bottle it by Sunday night. That makes it 7.3% currently.

Vietnam, Korea, and Taiwan were all about China really.
