BEER TASTING

Image
WHAT: Beer tasting WHERE: Young's house. (Pelican Pub) WHEN: Saturday, May 2nd at 5:30 (it's also Kentucky Derby Day , Ladies, wear hats if at all possible) WHO: You, of course! We will grill whatever you bring . Bring something else to munch on if you like. (This is Glen's deal, so it's a basic "beer, meat, chips" type event) It's best to be prompt so you can sample all the beers. This is not a "kill the keg" :') event, but make sure to bring enough for everyone to taste. Prior events have taught us to drink homebrew in moderation. (Modern venitilation has yet to catch up to noxious fume output when mass consumption occurs.) Other commercial beer varieties are welcome so we can see how we stack up against them. The Medearis Brewing Company will be represented, but the brewmaster will be out fishing during this event. (We encourage the head beer wench to attend in his stead.) Update: She RSVP'd and is coming! Hazzah! She also corrected my...

Test Post

I've been wanting to post to this blog via email for a time, just never invested the time in figuring out how. Now I can post easier updates without having to go to blogger.com which means, more home brewing related stuff, more Prismiq media player stuff, weather updates, stupid jokes, idiotic pictures, the usual nonsense, and who knows what?!

Cruzin Cooler

Image
Cruzin Cooler combines two basic necessities of life, the ability to have cold food or a beverage handy along with the means to get somewhere, without walking. With modern technology, the Cruzin Cooler is light-weight and comes in various sizes and is available in gas and electric models, with a 10 mile range on electric models and 30 miles on the gas models. The cooler is light enough to be driven to a location and then picked up and carried. The cooler can be used for hunting, sporting events, races, camping, golf or even a trip to the grocery store to keep your food cold all the way home. Marine use will be popular for the new cooler allowing you to take your fish/drinks/food/ ice to and from your boat with powered assistance and braking. Simply ride or power your way up and down ramps. There are virtually hundreds of uses for the new coolers with thoughts of racing coolers not far behind!

Jeep Stuff

Okay. The Jeep is back together. Wednesday on the way in to drop Nathan off in the morning, we had a slight "vibration". Thought it might be ice or something throwing the wheel out of balance. No such luck. Thought it was a u-joint. Nope. After leaving it and getting picked up for a ride in, we discovered after trailering it, that it was studs shearing off on the right front wheel. Seems that the prior owner put spacers in when they put slightly larger than stock tires on, and that left less stud to hold on to. At any rate. We have new rotors, brake pads, and studs on that side, and the spacers are out for now. When the new LONG studs arrive, I can put the spacers back in, but I might just go without. At any rate. We're good to go for now. Glad it didn't shear them all off with the 2 of us in the Jeep!
