I guess everyone was worn out by Sunday night. Already Monday morning here, almost 7, gonna try to get some work done early.
Tomorrow I am going to try for a double brew day, been taking me around 5 hours per batch but hoping to cut back on that by doubling up. Too bad I don't have a kettle big enough to do 10 gallons at once, so they will have to be back to back.
Now to go catch the tunes I missed while I check my email....

I feel that way a lot, weighed down by so much stuff. I dream of being a nomad with a back sack, completely free to go and see and travel. Get drunk on the beach then crash on someone's couch. Live each day to survive another one.
Great to know!!! Heard so much about not letting oxygen into the beer when transferring. Must do this, must do that.... Confuses me many times.

Stupid nap kicked my butt for sleep last night. Now I am feeling even more tired
I do not have any empirical knowledge or proof but I am going to say as long as you drink the beer fast the whole oxygen thing is way over rated. I had a little gallon party keg I filled once and was going to carb with sugar that I stupidly pushed the bung completely in while filling it. I had to pour the beer out back into my priming bucket and fish the bung out of the keg. I had a ton of bubbles and air introduced and the beer was fine
So I wonder if it is a function of time with the air making the beer go bad

I think so. Finally got me a stash going, couple cases bottled and more on the way. But normally it goes pretty fast. No time for that oxygenation thing.

I had two Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye's this morning after work. I loved em going down. I was sayin to myself "nuthin ruthless about them!"
That was this morning. Now I understand.
That was this morning. Now I understand.
This is the one I recall.
Probably in that jukebox, as it was a Hit Parade favorite.
Rodger Whittaker is also a possibility.
Did I say I'm a hard rock/metal guy?
That didn't come from nowhere.
I like all kinds of good music.
Jim Reeve's pipes had a certain homegrown edge hidden in all that production.

Sam Adams gives me a hangover, even only a couple.
(Not unless you are talking about a "sneak up effect").
But I drink them because they are my favorite bottles.
Had some Sam on the tap for my half-century birthday dinner out tonight and it reminded me of why I liked it in the first place.
But only two 12 ouncers!
My go-to is odd, and seems to have no effect in the morning.
Don't knock until you have tried it:
CANNED Yuengling Lager poured into a traditional glass.
Not the bottle, and not Black & Tan.
Just right, not too heavy and enough flavor to enjoy.
I'm going to pull another switcharoo and suggest this other treasure from my childhood vault.
[fixed that - pp]

Jim Reeves is my favorite. My dad had an eight track "Jim Reeves and Some Friends" when I was a kid. The only copy I can find now is the LP. I even bought an LP to digital player, but haven't quite worked it correctly yet.

Great gaming music.
If one takes "Quake II" and plays it on the CD player it has a bunch of Rob Zombie instrumentals to enjoy.
I had to give up gaming, too addictive.
Went to playing with potentially deadly games, like high powered tube amplifiers.
Those things pack a punch that can kill in a heartbeat.
No, don't drink and play with amp guts.
That's one reason I will drop off here for days at a time.
:rockin:
But today it's my birthday, and I shall imbibe on a work night.
And Listen to old vacuum tubes sing.
BTW.
Those old saturated beautiful sounding vocals most of us grew up with actually had tubes inside those microphones.
Explains why they are worth 100K these days.
Sometimes it's tough to recapture the past.
And, to whoever tried to go analog to digital.
It's easy, no USB Turntable or high priced converters required.
Just get an audio adapter to get the phono jacks to 1/8" or 10mm stereo.
Plug it in and use Audacity (free) to record it.

Oh my I remember charging the capacitors from the old ignition systems and then walking down the hall in school and toss it to some one hehe. All fun and games until you caught it

Be careful, too many will cloud your judgement. :cross:
I hardly ever drink store bought beers or even craft beers unless hanging with fellow brewers and drinking theirs. Across from the hospital there is this little bar, good crafted beers on tap. Several home brewers who work there. Owner a home brewer too. I walk over at night when sleeping over(at hospital). Borrow sister's Ipad and make a night of it. Makes it easier to sleep in a chair. But actually in hubby's room there is always a fold out couch. Some kind of pleather though, the chairs more comfy.

OMG, I remember Quake II and lan parties, I was always the only female playing, grappling hooks and killing my target. Ahh,,, the good old days... Loved pissing off my male competitors. I got out of gaming too though, life is my new game.

We would charge capacitors up and leave them laying on a table. Sometimes we could get a freshman to stick his finger in the distributor of a magneto coil. Those things can really pack a punch.

I have no clue how old you are but you must be close to my age if you worked on the old ignition systems.
Sure brings back good memories for me. Friday night was for drinking and figting then by Saturday we were out tuning up the pickups and racing or hill climbing.

Actually airplanes (Cessna, piper, etc) still use capacitors in their ignition systems. I work on a bit of old stuff so points, condensers, capacitors, etc are pretty common for me.

Yes I have a very eclectic taste in music. But I love this one

I can only dream of taking a long walk like that. Too much stuff tying me down. I even started a poem called The Long Walk. It's long, and written in an odd fashion, to the tune of ABC, AC, AC, ABCC, ABC, where A represents a 5 syllable sentence, B represents 4 syllables and C represents 7 syllables. About me and my sisters going for a long walk. I have so many notebooks though, don't even know how I'll find it in order to finish it. One day when I'm traveling, I'll finish the long poem that is actually a story.

I wonder why they have not gone with the more improved system. Saying that though I would say the day of the field tree mechanic is about over now
Back to work tonight and I sort of can't wait. My next vacation is in May and we're going to Colorado. Going back to work will make time fly till then. See you guys later!

It's long, and written in an odd fashion, to the tune of ABC, AC, AC, ABCC, ABC, where A represents a 5 syllable sentence, B represents 4 syllables and C represents 7 syllables(or something like that-started it years ago). About me and my sisters going for a long walk. I have so many notebooks though, don't even know how I'll find it in order to finish it. One day when I'm traveling, I'll finish the long poem that is actually a story.
A few years ago, I was interviewing an applicant for a network engineer position and he looks at me and tells me that he knows me. I ask where from. He tells me I went to High School X. I nod and say that I did attend that school. He then tells me he went to High School Y and that I beat the crap out of him one Friday night at the Burger King.
I look at him and still don't remember him, but I do remember that night at the Burger King and it was a bunch of High School X and Y out in the parking lot. My memory of that night is somewhat different. While the participants were inebriated, I don't remember any fists being thrown. I think it was mostly posturing and yelling at each other. The cops showed up and we all scattered.
I tell the applicant that while I don't remember him I remember the night and I'm pretty sure no punches were thrown. He becomes somewhat animated and describes in detail what I did to him.
Now here is the interesting part. My director is in the room for the interview and is just sitting there looking at me in amazement. We finish up with the questions and answers and escort him back to HR. Walking back from HR, I asked my director what he thought about the applicant and he says, "He is an idiot and it probably resulted from being hit one too many times to the head back in high school."

I have the gift of gab but I have to say written is not my first language. I think things in my head and weird stuff comes out when I put pen to paper.
Pretty proud of my daughter though. She has written several things for the school newspaper.
Lost my quotes, but thanks for the analog-digital tip.
BL, hanging around hospitals is exhausting. Not just keeping up with the ill person, but dealing with their medical stuff and other friends and family is work. Keep on keeping on.
And I hope you find your story and share it.

The FAA is somewhat behind the times, brand new small planes have technology that hasn't been put in automobiles in 60 years.

Barney, I took a another look at the link on Sunday and what do you know? Math works!
It will be nice to be able to dial in a setting without experimenting around with weights. Mucho GraciasSimilar threads
