My German is a little rusty, but I think this is a plead to follow the Reinheitsgebot

I'm drunk and have a 9AM class in the morning. Luckily, no homework or tests all day, so I'll just show my face all day (unlike wednesday), then take a nap after classes for the party Friday night \m/

Did someboday say....
NENA?
HAST DU ETWAS ZEIT FUER MICH, DANN SINGE ICH EIN LIED FUER DICH, VON NEUN UND NEUNZISCH LUFTBALLONS AUF IHREM WEG ZUM HORIZON!
She was a SUPER hot girl back then, and STILL is. Nena is my German sex dream. If I ever take my workable German knowledge on a trip (probably Oktoberfest? I'm a HBT'er, of course that's my choice) to Deutschland, I'll be tracking down Nena and my German Penpal from our High School class who I added on facebook (she was freaking SMOKIN' HOT)

Hello all. I know I have not been around. Funny how when you do not drink you kind of fall away from the site. But tonight I am going to brew
Yup I think I have recovered enough that I can carry the stuff around and stay on my feet long enough to finish a brew session.
Life is good again:rockin:

Wow Lab rat that looks beyond awesome. I do love getting out and enjoying nature.
It was great. I went with the scouts. Mostly 11 year olds. They had to do everything for themselves, cooking, tents, dealing with 28f overnight chill and wind warnings of 60mph gusts. They lashed all their tents together so they would not blow away. My son's patrol made French toast and bacon for breakfast. I was jealous.

Sigh my years of sleeping on the ground are long gone now. But I have been known to horse my trailer into some rather remote spots. And as a bonus I can keep the beer much colder with my camper for much longer:rockin:
Last night it was -4 and then there was some wind but I have no clue what that took the wind chill to. I will say to dang cold for camping.

-4 is too extreme for me. That is just cold.

I did not get to go camping but once this year
But even then any temp that cold is just to cold even with a heater in the trailer.
Just started my mash and I have to say it smells like heaven. I can hardly wait to dump the hops and get that blast of hop smell
Been planning this for a few weeks can you tell hehe. Getting ready to crack a 3C that I have been saving for this first brew.

Welcome back. How's the knee? You had a chainsaw accident? I've been through 2 chainsaws in the last few months. I stick them in the dirt, a no-no if you want your machine to last. The sand wears out the metal sprockets. But I've got tons of palmetto, and the saw must go down to cut it out. I might switch to my sawsall.

Hey PD. I think I am doing fine now or as good as I am going to get anyway. I had some issues with infections and the Dr's want to replace my knee but as of now I am just saying no. I get around pretty good with a brace on so why go through the crap all over again.
Sigh I had just bought 3 new saws this year and only got to use one for about a week before I screwed up. Oh well I am thinking these will last a good long time now LOL

Hey All!
V-man welcome back! All this talk of camping and chainsaws is making me miss the Midwest and California, especially in the fall.
I was going to replace the front brake pads and rear shoes on my wife's car today. I was actually so excited about it I kept waking up last night thinking "is it time to get up yet and get working?" Daylight finally arrived and I got started. Pulled off the drivers side tire and removed the pad. I obviously ordered the wrong one. So I have to reorder and wait. Rear shoes were fine.
. Original on the bottom. Some thing wrong with this pic.

Well the hard part is done then, drums can be a pain.

I was lucky there. The car is a 2006 Nissan Sentra. The shoes only have a couple of springs to fight.
Plus....YouTube!! Some guy put up a pretty decent video so there were no surprises. I need to do my cars brakes as well. Pretty sure aside from worn pads I have a few warped rotors.
I live on a long hill, about 2 miles long and have to ride the brakes or exceed the speed limit quickly. I could just drop the auto transmission into 2nd or third and let the drag slow the car down but I've gotten out of the habit of doing that. Mostly because somebody once told me using the transmission to slow down on a continued basis puts to much strain on tranny and brake pads are cheap. Made sense to me. I still downshift on the occasional steep grade. But everyday driving down this hill I live on I use brakes
I'm quite possibly wrong in my thinking.
I made a vinaigrette with some of my habenero chili oil and put that on a spinich salad. I made the chili oil because I had a bunch of peppers and no time to do anything else with them. Reasonable heat and awesome flavor. This is going to be good in soups and stir frys.

Dan I guess I have pulled trailers enough that even when I am not pulling one I use the transmission to slow down if I can. It drives my wife nuts pretty much but heck man brakes are a pain in the butt to replace.

Got my brew done the other night and it is bubbling away happily now. I am thinking I had better brew once a week now for a bit to get my pipeline back into shape.
Being laid up has kind of been a pain in the butt. I re barreled my .270 back into a elk gun but can not hunt. I know kind of a silly thing to do right. Now I am getting ready to re barrel my 22-250 so I can long range rock chucks. Thinking about a hart barrel rifled at 1 in 7 so I can shoot the much heavier and better BC bullets.
Sigh I need to get back to work so I am not thinking so much about ways to spend money.

I didn't know you could re-barrel a rifle to change its function.

As long as the action will work with the new chambering the sky is the limit. I have a weatherby action that someday I am going to put a nice heavy 6.5-284 barrel on and perhaps start shooting in some competitions.
But for now if I rifle my 22-250 at 1 in 7 I can shoot heavy enough bullets to stay supersonic out to a 1000 yards. And the case is small enough that the barrel should last several thousand rounds.

I have a question that I hope somebody on this sight can give me some insight into.. It's not about brewing, sorry.
I rent a house to a young Navy couple. Really good people. We have an agreement that if something breaks; dishwasher, microwave, furnace etc., breaks, they have it fixed and pay for it, as well as send me the receipt. Then the rent for that month is reduced by the cost they paid out. If outside labor is involved that comes out of the rent as well, if they can just buy the part and install themselves then only the cost of parts is accounted for.. It's a pretty good setup and a reason I screened my tenants.
Here is where the question is. Well not yet, need to set the stage a little further. I really like these folks, they like me as a landlord because I'm pretty fair and if I might say it, not a bad landlord. They are taking great care of my investment and I try to take great care of them. It's a copasetic situation.
I want to send them a Christmas card. wish them a Merry Christmas...yada..yada.. But I'm pretty sure they're Mormon. I could be stereotyping. Both of them are from Montana. The wife graduated from college at the Bringham Young Institute here in Hawaii..
So, maybe wrong of me but I assume they might be Mormon. As far as I know, and I could be very well wrong.. Mormons don't celebrate Christmas??
On the safe side, what card could I send them in the spirit of Christmas and thankyou - which wouldn't offend them if they are Mormons?
Thanks
Dan

Thanks Hunter. I'm really out of my realm when it comes to religious sects
I'm not at all religious, so take this with a pillar of salt. If anyone wished me a happy Christmas, Hanukkah, Rosh Hashanah, Eid Al-Fitr or happy Thursday I'd be happy. I'd take it a face value and think that this day is important to them and they want to share in some way. I don't even really known when Ramadan but i'd like to have a happy month if it was wished to me.

You could always go with the blanket Happy Holidays.
