Just a few tiddle bits I should share with you unwashed masses:
As previously mentioned apple pies were made. For the guys out there — if you get to help, a 3/4″ spade bit on a cordless drill makes the best apple corer I’ve ever used. It also helps keep some semblance of testosterone in the process too. Some of the best apple pie ever.
Phil inspired me to pick up the The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich . I do believe I’m at least a month into reading this book, and have finally reached the 1000 page mark. I think I’m probably plateaued on how much information I can absorb. I have reached the part of the book where the concentration camps and associated details, and I wasn’t prepared for the level of detail that this amazing book offers. I literally think my brain was overwhelmed with the anquish and raw depravity those Nazi bastards (I had to calm it down) inflicted on millions of people. What really caught me off guard was that it wasn’t just the Nazis as I traditionally thought of them — government officials and military people, but the businiess community too.
Fall is here in MN — bite me Fall. If you are going to be 19F in the morning, at least toss me some frickin snow.
I should receive the full set of kit I need to start kegging homebrew early next week, I’m a happy man. How can you go wrong with making beer quicker and with less work? That is a huge win, win, burp!
Christmas is < 2 months away — same for my birthday. You should already be shopping, I’m not that easy to find gifts for. Some suggestions:
- new cold weather capable motorcycle jacket, gloves, or pants
- 0,5L Beer glasses or steins. Ebay is a great source. Don’t get the ones with metal lids - I’ll just get drunk and knock out my teeth, not a sexy move.
- Hrm, stumped myself — see, I’m hard to shop for.
Work continues to do well. I just might get to be a kernel hacker yet. Ha!
