That class lasted 4 hours and there was no end in sight to the beer samples.

10:30pm.... "Who wants to crack open a 7 year old semi-dry mead?" ---maternal-smurf---, you know every single one of us wants you to open that bottle.

It was an interesting dilemma. Nobody had eaten dinner because how long could this class possibly take. Yet there's a counter covered in craft beer. But now it's 11pm.

:dunno

I'm going to salvage various parts from the projector TV. Mainly the screen and some of the optics. The projectors in them were rubbish so not interested in them even if they work.

I want to cut up the screen and use part of it for a table top gaming platform. Some small parts will go into my RoToron project also. The unit is just on the curb with some other junk at the front of someones place. The raid is on for tonight, I'll dress in black and approach with headlights off.

Then I'll knock on the door and politely ask if I can cart it away :lol Wish me luck.

Cool.

So, I am not sure what "Chuffy" means, but this thread sure is positive! I'll give it a try:

My 3rd son was born (my poor wife is very outnumbered) and I got to drop my first son off at is very first day of school. That was great.

We had a blast at the wife's 27th birthday party. Got to see a lot of old friends I had not seen in a while.

I got some new tools for the shop including a brand new Powermatic 8" 2HP jointer with a helical cutterhead and parallelogram table. This beast has an 82" bed and weighs 600lbs! It was not fun muscling it off the pallet and onto the mobile base by myself by hand (I don't have a forklift or hoist or anything). Good thing I have been hitting the gym pretty hard. But boy does it run like a dream.

At my job, 3 people on our small team quit at the same time. I was able to turn that in my favor and got a promotion and a nice 20% raise (though it is actually less because I went up a tax bracket... 28% tax sure looks like a lot on paper). I also get to hire a few more people.

I started a new arcade project. We'll see if this one actually gets built. I think I enjoy designing cabs as much as I enjoy building them.

I added a few new pieces to my Zelda/Nintendo collection. Nothing rare or exciting, but I love them.

I also added a few new rifles to the armory. I basically stole a brand new LWRC M6A2 for $1300 (these older models were hand made in the USA). It is the DEA edition too. It has a pretty sweet short-stroke piston system. I threw a Leopold LCO red dot sight on it and it shoots like a dream - especially for the price.

The wife and I finally got our LTCs (license to carry). The class was actually pretty fun. Plus, my stainless Springfield 1911 caught some attention at the range during the marksmanship test :laugh:.

Also, it sounds like there are some homebrewers on here. My last batch of IPA was troublesome... it turned out decent and alcoholic... so not all bad! ;D

Mike A:
IPA? Why don't you just drink a Natural Light, piss in a bottle, drink the piss, and piss that out into a bottle. You will still have a better beer than any IPA. That crap is a crime against beer.
