So, I setup a new blog for my DIY projects. I think what I’d like to do is use that for ongoing updates of the project but maybe post the process/end result/recap type thing here. Does this make sense? probably not.  So, I brewed my own beer. I bought a kit from Brooklyn Brew Shop located out of New York. I’ve had positive experience with them from the very get go when a mix up resulted in my wife’s billing address on her card (which hasn’t been updated since we’ve moved) being saved as the shipping address. I figured this out at the very last minute just as the product was rolling out of Memphis. A quick e-mail and they were able to contact UPS to make the change of address for delivery and I didn’t lose my kit. You can check them out here.  So the kit is for making 1 gallon of beer. I’ve read some people talk about this being a waste of time because 1 gallon of beer or the standard 5 gallon of beer take the same amount of time to cook up. To me this worked out as a great first experience since even at that size I barely had large enough pots or strainer to handle no more beer than I had.  Right now I’ve got it all bottled and just have to wait two weeks to have a drink while the yeast eats up the extra bit of sugar added to carbonate my brew. So here’s some pics from the process: 1) Here’s my mash doing it’s thing. This part takes about an hour of keeping the grains and water combo at a warm but low temp to extract sugars from the grain. 2) After sparging the mash (draining the water off the grain and running hot water though the grain to extract more sugar) I have my wort (pronounce like wert) boiling for another hour. See, these first two steps will take two hours no matter how much you are brewing.  3) After boiling and adding yeast my wort was put away to ferment. 4) Here’s a shot of the brew after about a week. 5) My bottle caps and Grolsh bottle lids. 6) Brew in the pot about to be bottled. Bottling sugar (in this case honey) is added so the yeast can carbonate the brew. 7) I was working by myself so the stack of paper plates worked well for tilting the pot so I could get as much of the beer back out as possible. You can also see my bottles are filled just not capped. Now this step is where the only brewing one gallon is nice. I used some Grolsh beer bottles and a couple of pint bottles I saved over from some Newcastle so there was very little work to be done with the bottling. On the other hand, if this had been a 5 gallon brew then I’d have been at it for a lot longer.  8) And the near final product. Just two more weeks and this will hopefully be good drinkable beer.

Fat Boy I got this bike when I was around ten years old. That’s 16 years ago now. It took me a while before I learned how to ride. Being the kind of individual I am I would rather figure something out on my own. Unfortunately, with something like this everyone becomes an expert on how to ride a bike while you are learning. I wanted to do it my way, they wanted to push me and let me figure it out… (that is probably one of the only times I’ve ever ate grass and dirt at the same time…). About a year after getting the bike I started taking it outside at my parents house on the highway and would ride up and down the driveway. One part of the driveway was slightly higher up so I could coast down from here. I learned how to ride and then learned how to get started later. Turning was another problem that came with time.  I remember while learning to riding that a truck drove by one day. Some highschool aged kids it looked like. I remember one of them yelling something that involved the words “fat boy”. But hey, I’m a big guy. Always have been. So didn’t bother me much. Despite having always been a “fat boy” this bike used to be the greatest form of entertainment while staying with my Grandma in the summer. I would get in 10 to 20 miles a day on gravel roads on this thing. At some point I actually had a turn signal box on it. After losing several sets of batteries on the gravel I just took it off. I’m not sure why I eventually stopped riding. But there was around a ten year gap where I only ever road on one bike. That one bike ended up with the back tire all out of wack because of thing spokes and my heavier than ever ass end. I didn’t touch another bike until recently. I like my Huffy, so I picked up a new Huffy recently. One for me and one for my wife. Got two of the Nel Lusso cruiser style bikes they sell at big box retailers (one male one female version). Sure this is something that bike snobs might call a BLO (Bike Like Object) but it gets me out and riding again. I don’t think I’ve smiled as big in a long time as I do while riding a bike.  Today I picked up my old Huffy from my uncle’s shop where it had gotten some use over the years during the bikeless gap in my life. Brought it home. Took this picture. Hoping to fix it up and ride it frequently again. It’s a bit smaller than what I need but riding it again today probably left a bigger smile on my face than after first getting on my new bike and riding for the first time in 10 years.  I’m still fat (probably looked like a piss ant on a log while riding my old bike. those two kids did point and I assume laugh) but I’m going to fix that. My goal is to be able to start riding to work come Spring. That’s about 8 miles with a nice trip over the ridge but I’m determined. It’s time I turned my life around and get in shape for the first time in my life. I don’t want to go into my 30’s in the next few years the same way I went into my 20’s.  Wish me luck.

Fat Boy

I got this bike when I was around ten years old. That’s 16 years ago now. It took me a while before I learned how to ride. Being the kind of individual I am I would rather figure something out on my own. Unfortunately, with something like this everyone becomes an expert on how to ride a bike while you are learning. I wanted to do it my way, they wanted to push me and let me figure it out… (that is probably one of the only times I’ve ever ate grass and dirt at the same time…).

About a year after getting the bike I started taking it outside at my parents house on the highway and would ride up and down the driveway. One part of the driveway was slightly higher up so I could coast down from here. I learned how to ride and then learned how to get started later. Turning was another problem that came with time.

That's not very ladylike.: When you are all out and about enjoyng your 4 day weekend of bliss

deja:

lady88:

don’t forget to look around at all of the people working their holiday asses off. At the grocery store, at the coffee shops you lounge in, at the restaurants you dine in, at the stores you shop in. LOOK AT US. We are tired ALREADY and it’s not even December yet. Smile at us. Treat us like human…

For example my husband works 5pm to 1am (like he will actually get off at 1) today, and on Friday he works 2am to 6pm. All I am saying is NO ONE better trample his big ass on Black Friday!

Goodness…. when you put it like that I suddenly don’t want to work tonight and Friday…

Also, I think it’d take a dozen old ladies with rolling pins before I’d go down!

So this guy works the Taco Bell drive through here in town most nights of the week. He has a fan page on Facebook and has been in local news a few times. Dudes funny as hell. I guess whatever it takes to make the work day go by.

This needs to go meme now and autotuned by next week!

The Chronicles of Bruiser: Sure, if you’ve heard about the Chronicles of Bruiser (the BA street sweeper working in Tennessee) than you’re thinking “Dude, you are late to the game.” You’d be correct. I’ve had the PDF sitting on my e-reader for a long time. I started it and fell in love with the stories and the real life aspect of it and then I forgot about it… I just finished the story tonight… There is a lot to learn from Mr. Bruiser. Work hard, have fun, and life’s short. 90% of the pages you will be laughing your ass off. I’ll admit… I shed more than a couple tears near the end when he faced the reality of something I fear… So to Bruiser: my hat’s off to you sir. I’d buy ya a beer (hell a whole pack even) if ever I met you and had the funds. If you’ve never read the stories of Bruiser they were originally posted on the Something Awful forums. There are links here and there to PDF’s of this Legendary Thread (http://www.legendarythreads.com/). The only link I have does not have the full story so I’ll give you this link to get you started and then you can find the version with the endings yourself:  http://www.scribd.com/doc/33096/Bruiser-A-street-sweepers-tales  (hint: page 1 of the full story PDF you’ll have to find will have the image I posted here.)
