We came back from our vacation about a week ago. I am still trying to catch up at work. While my employer calls it “vacation time” it is more like an “allowed absence.” I say this because while I am away enjoying myself, nobody is here doing my work, which means that it just piles [...]

Or at least several members of a smaller species of furry rodents. We have been off to Canada for a bit of vacation or as they like to say up yonder, a holiday. We went up to the lakeside cottage of my in laws. The kids had a lot of fun and since their joy [...] And… It tastes like beer! Actually, it had a very slight hint metallic and/or cidery taste when I first opened it. My wife agreed with that assessment. Then, after letting it sit for a few minutes, both those flavors went away and it tasted like a lager. My wife agreed with that assessment as well. [...] I woke up on Saturday and said “Today is the day I bottle my first batch of home brewed beer.” All week I have been watching the fermenter bubble away, it was exciting to say the least. First, I need to check the specific gravity to make sure it is ready. Opps, specific gravity is [...] Zymurgy (zī’mûr’jē) n. branch of chemistry which deals with wine-making and brewing, 1868, from Gk. zymo-, comb. form of zyme “a leaven” (from PIE base *yus-; see juice) + -ourgia “a working,” from ergon “work” (see urge (v.)). The last word in many standard English dictionaries. This is a rather grainy one minute video of [...] I was so inspired by Jay and his home brewed beer experience that I decided to try it myself. I purchased the Cooper’s Home Brewing kit on line and received it a while ago. I haven’t used it yet because the temperatures have been too cold (it has to be between 70-80° Fahrenheit to maintain [...] It seems that the hot weather followed me back from Florida. After 4 years of living in this house, we finally broke down and bought a little window AC unit. It is a 6,000 BTU Haier (HWR06XC7) which my lovely wife picked up at Target on Saturday morning. I installed it in the middle window [...] Gas has broken the $4.00 per gallon mark around here, and with that comes a plethora of advice on how to increase fuel economy. The suggestions range from over inflating tires, to pumping gas in the morning when it is cooler. I read a good article over the weekend that debunks most of those suggestions [...] Going through my desk drawer at work, I found this article that I printed out a few years ago: January 25, 2001 Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (AP) – A Pennsylvania construction work accidentally cut off his hand with a power saw and then shot himself in the head with a nail gun several times, apparently hoping to [...] Most people that I know have had a bad contractor experience. These experiences come in all sorts of flavors, from bad workmanship to unfinished work to “unforeseen” cost over runs, or in the worst case, the contractor skips town with your money and does no work. I have been involved with several commercial construction [...] |
