The "Waiting for the Next Giveaway" Speakeasy

[allanmorgan]

Gone Away reminds me of Half Full Pursuit.

 

[allanmorgan]

Half Full is a local brew, but it tastes the same.

 

[allanmorgan]

At least you won the thousandth post

Yes!!

 

[allanmorgan]

The amount of posts you have doesn't mean anything. The knowledge you can impart means everything.

 

[harrke]

WooHoo! Great run.

 

[harrke]

Yes reactor keeping me busy. Spent a lot of time with what if… based on worst case retaliation from Russia.

 

[harrke]

Weird, but my company supplies power to D.C.

 

[harrke]

Who knows. No major worries. But if you plan for the worst, you're never disappointed!

 

[harrke]

Just have to look, assess, monitor trends. No big work this weekend.

 

[harrke]

Had one of our major chiller units go out so some of our offices are really hot. Strange feeling in December!?

 

[harrke]

Well long enough break! Reports to complete, etc. TTFN.

 

[applescrap]

I understand its been quiet ken, What happens when its not quiet! Sounds like a really interesting job. I am totally clueless as to what your job is or looks like etc. Wish I would have paid more attention in school

 

[DemonsRun]

Replication links restored, woohoo!

I would like to brew with some of that Conan yeast, Vermont yeast whatever its called. I think that's what's in there.

They also use a lot of London Ale yeast.

 

[allanmorgan]

That looks good Peyton. I do like a good stout!

 

[harrke]

The Stout looks delicious and not too complicated. I like that!

 

[DemonsRun]

1885 the first roller coaster is patented

 

[allanmorgan]

Danstar Windsor starter is now rolling. I kept calling is Moose Slobber, but it is Caribou Slobber, which is a clone of Moose Drool.

 

[allanmorgan]

That brew gets underway on Sunday. Gonna be a good brew day.

 

[allanmorgan]

Just finished drinking Heavy Boots of Lead. An Imperial Stout from SingleCut Breersmith.

 

[allanmorgan]

They have a really good IIPA called Harry Doesn't Mind. It's a NEIPA. I should be able to pick up a growler of it in a week or two from my nearest LHBS. It's a two hour round trip, but it is the closest one to me. Plus, they have almost everything I need for ingredients.

 

[allanmorgan]

Pacing myself until the Michigan game comes on at 8.

 

[allanmorgan]

Not easy.

 

[TBC]

What did I win? Another Blichmann glass? No? That's ok. It's been fun anyway!!

Congrats, somewhere in the beginning of this thread I said I would supply a prize for the 1000 post so pm me your address!! It might be a week until it goes out because I'm waiting on something to show up in the mail.

 

[TBC]

Ken, I take it your at a nuke and in PJM?

 

[TBC]

Is anyone else tired of ham?

 

[allanmorgan]

Is anyone else tired of ham?

Not yet!

 

[TBC]

I am!! Besides plain ham I made scrambled eggs and ham, hash brown casserole with ham, ham salad and just finished up a pot of split pea soup with HAM! Told the wife I think we need to get a little smaller ham next time"

 

[TBC]

The thing is I love ham! It's my favorite but I definitely need a break.
