I like this time at night on HBT

[Dan]

Thank you BobbiLynn for dredging up old memories. Good times! Love this clip, not all about flying but the guys who worked the Flight Deck, making things happen

I hear ya. Earlier this year my son had a Missions of California project. I helped a little, but I wanted to help a lot

Nice!

I like the entire hot chick rainbow, but I prefer the sophisticated classier type.

Melody Gardot is my cup of tea. I have her entire catalog. When I travel, it's the only music I take with me. Here she is, for your late nite soundtrack.

Ya I normally keg but I got a big run I'm doing for a co worker for a retirement (military). I have enough bottles for one run. But with this I No S*** ordered 6 cases for midwest (I have bottles forever.) My old bottles I have sanitized a few times in my High end dish washer ( it automatically gets rid of old food pieces.) Plus i run it empty one before hand. So I run it one in sanitize mode, then rinse mode with just a little star san. I have had great luck with it. The bottle stock comes out cleaner than i ever could get them by way of hand cleaning. But the down side is I contacted a bottle maker, there Q&A guys said you can do that a few times. They said the newer bottles are not made with the same stuff as the older returnable bottles. So the sudden heat change can slowly degrade the glass.

But with those caps do they normally come sanitized?

Uh, no. They don't have anything on them for a nasty to eat though. I just keep them in a plastic bag so they don't get dusty.

You can sanitize the o2 caps.

The o2 reactive chemical is protected by a thin layer of a water soluble sealant. Get them wet, or hit them with sanitizer, and let them sit for a few minutes and the o2 reactive chemical will have bonded with as much oxygen as it has the ability to. The caps will still work of course, they just won't serve their purpose of absorbing oxygen.

So, it depends on if you want to trade oxygen absorption for a very small chance of an infection in the bottle.


Hmm. It seems my cider wasn't actually at FG when I bottled the last batch. I blew a couple corks a second ago. I guess I'll drink some sparkling cider, even if it is pretty young.

 

[Dan]

Well, now I'm thinking back. Going to post a video from my first Aircraft Carrier, the USS Midway, CV-41. It was old when I lived on it back in the mid eighties. Now it's a museum in San Diego.

This video is before 1986 because the F-4S Phantoms were replaced by FA-18A's in '86 and the A-7 Corsair as well as the Phantoms were done, they had served well during Vietnam and through the Cold War but they were retired. Like me now

Pretty sure this video is round about the time I was stationed on the Midway 84-88. Haircuts look about right for that time period. He!!, I might even be in this somewhere or other in a green jersey.

Midway Magic!

BTW. The first few F-4s shown, look on the fuselage and see VF-161. That's was my squadron. Fighting One Sixty One, Rock Rivers!

 

[LabRatBrewer]

This was the first video that I thought was clever...86ish.

 

[Dan]

Well done LRB..

This next video, if I can find it. Streets Have No Name, by, ha ha.. I typed YouTube.. U2! Sounded great on amped up Klipsch speakers and a Carver amp and pre-amp back in the day. Now still sounds great on computer speakers.

 

[LabRatBrewer]

I'm going to post the lyrics to this one because I know my amazing taste in music does not strike everyone here, but this song sure sounds like this thread....

Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst
after a hard day of nothin' much at all
Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass
There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

And sometimes I just ain't in the mood
to take my place in back with the loudmouths
You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food
I used to live at home, now I stay at the house

And everybody wants to be special here
They call your name out loud and clear
Here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one here today?

Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town
Once the police made you go away
And even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now
I'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway

Everybody wants to be someone's here
Someone's gonna show up, never fear
'cause here comes a regular
Call out your name
Here comes a regular
Am I the only one who feels ashamed?

Kneeling alongside old Sad Eyes
He says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut
All I know is I'm sick of everything that my money can buy
The fool who wastes his life, God rest his guts

First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow
Turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
First the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow
Ain't much to rake anyway in the fall

LRB, it could well become the Late Night Thread anthem. I might need to listen and read the words again but I see the path you're speaking of I think. So, I'll nominate it, do I hear a second?

 

[Leadgolem]

Well, getting sprayed 23 times with hard apple cider restored my sense of the ridiculous. I had to get everything out of the bottles before the corks popped, or what was supposed to be sparkling actually blew. Oh well. I salvaged most of it. It's now in wine bottles in the vertical with little aluminum foil hats on each bottle.

The up side is that I now know for sure this is going to be a really superior batch of cider. It's extremely good, even this young. Plus, I now smell fantastic.ipe:

This would be the only other contender I think.

Cheers intro song

You pulled the Cheers card, yes LG, I think you're right about that. Now I'm at a crossroads. BTW LG, once we figure this out you're going to have to pop open one of those bottles and we'll all cheers together. We have a little time to mull this over.

Can do.

I think I need some mulling spices for that.

 

[worksnorth]

I've never actually heard the complete "Cheers" song! That was good!!

 

[Leadgolem]

Hmm. Poll?

 

[Dan]

I just tried again the beer I made that apparently has some sort of infection. Beautiful amber color, clear and one step up from vinegar. I should probably just dump it or maybe I'll use it in marinades, ever marinated an alligator? This stuff would probably do it!

Edit: Question. Would it be good to have a Late Night Theme song or would a theme song put restrictions on us. Like a rule, guideline.

I'm going to post my vote now and say that although both songs are wonderful, don't want them to be my rule of choice. No offense of course to LRB or LG. I just kind of like the theme we have going here. That's just one opinion. There are many people here. I withdraw my vote on LG and LRB's song only because naming a theme song is restrictive.

Just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions.

 

[Dan]

Need to get some sleep. Goodnight HBT. ipe:

We don't need anything official. They are the same song, just different degrees of darkness.

 

[emjay]

Me neither. Listening to the lyrics, it's actually hilarious, and hilariously dated. Which might be a good thing for this thread

But yeah, I pretty much agree with Dan.

 

[Leadgolem]

Good knight Dan. Good knight LRB. Good knight Emjay. Good knight Worksnorth. Incidentally, my table is round. May all music, and voices, be heard here within our microcosm of humanity without prejudgment or themal restrictions.

I once made a Christmas card, called the knight before Christmas, it featured a chess piece.

Sorry to hear about your spewing cider, LG, but glad you saved most of it.

I just picked a tick off my back. Yuck.

GN, peeps, I'm going back to sleep.

 

[BobbiLynn]

I still can't sleep so I think I will post an ode to my best friend, Laura. Though not sure how lyrical I can make it, so maybe it's just a shout out to her.

Oh, Laura, oh Laura, you are the best friend ever invented.
I love my sisters dearly, but I love you more.
Or at least, just as much. I have enough love for you all.

You know how I feel by the sound of my voice.
I know how you feel when you utter only one word.

By just the way you say hello, I know, I know what you are thinking.
I grab my phone to call you, and suddenly it's ringing. It's you.

It's you on the phone, no matter the time of day or middle of the night.
Laura, I can't tell you how much I love you,

Our conversations always end with "I love you". And it's not just something we got used to saying. It really means "I love you".

Even when we have disagreements, it doesn't matter.
Oh, Laura, I love you. You are my best friend.


~end of ode~

If I were a lesbian, I'd marry Laura. But she likes men too so that's not a possibility. I love my best friend Laura to the end of the earth, and back. She is my fortitude, my strength when I am weak. And, anyway, I'm already married to my other best friend, but he has lost his way. I can just hope he finds his way back.

 

[Varmintman]

Bobbi best friends are hard to come by and it sounds like you got lucky with yours

 

[Varmintman]

Oh man do I have a great weekend planned. I am taking a tree down in a residential neighborhood that is taller than the plot of land that it is on. Most times that would not be a issue but two homes and two sheds are in the way.

Now most smart folks would rent a lift and limb the tree going up and then block it coming down but not me. I am going to dust off my old rigging gear and climb the tree and do it the old way topping the tree and then falling it.

I love doing things the hard way that involve a greater understanding and technical ability. So I have been dusting off my spurs and treating the leather to a nice conditioning and trying to find my full body harness. I might have given the harness away and if so I will climb it in a Swiss seat.

My wife is pretty angry I am doing this since she says I am to old to go climbing trees any more. But I am so looking forward to doing something that most young kids have not learned to do. That and I figure I will take my mug and a beer up with me and have a nice drink while looking over the world. Hoping my wife goes to take photos

I don't know where you're getting that from, maybe you read it on the internet, but it's wrong.

I can't find the link, but there is an interview with a company rep on Basic Brewing Radio with accurate information if you're really interested.

 

[BobbiLynn]

Caps with special powers sound like a bunch of BS to me. Ploy to get you to spend more money on caps.

V-man, I might start calling you tree-man. I'd love to sit up in a tree with you and have a brew.

A friend is coming over today to help me set up a motion detector around the chicken coop and also help me with getting a couple rifles cleaned and loaded, ready to go. It's hunting season and the possum may not make it out alive. I've never tried fox, or possum, so will be interesting to see how the stew turns out.

Why would you hunt fox?

 

[bottlebomber]

Fourth grade?

Yep

 

[BobbiLynn]

Why would you hunt fox?

Because that's what I think killed 3 of my chickens, also maybe make a couple nice, warm, winter hats. I plan on killing whatever got my chickens. I don't want it coming back for more.

Oh okay. I was thinking that killing one for meat is a bit... pointless. Lots of foxes around here, but they're generally harmless. Even my wussy 22lb papillon dog could probably beat one up.

Coyotes are a different story. Hear them every single night, but haven't seen one in the year and a half I've been here. Still don't trust my dog off-leash and unattended at night. A lot of the counties around here offer $100-200 bounties on the ****ers.
