No More Cast!!



Adrian got his cast off today! I'll come back and post a picture with his cast (I thought this one showed it, but you can't see it :-/), and another with him with no cast!

Old Testament quiz at Mental Floss











From Adam to Zephaniah



Score: 100% (15 out of 15)



These quizes over at Mental Floss are usually pretty hard, but if you are even remotely familiar with the Bible, these will be a piece of cake!

Network Down!!


So, once again my webhost is down. This is the third time this has happened since I've been with them. I've actually used them for a long time (maybe 6-7 years?), but each time this happens I get zero support and even less explanations!

Discussions going on Here and a couple of blogs about the situation here and here.

I think it's time to move on...

UPDATE:
Their BBB rating is an F.

UPDATE #2:
Server's back up...

Chargers and L.T. Part Ways


I am really bummed about this, but I guess it was inevitable. The offensive scheme of the Chargers has shifted over the last couple of seasons, and Philip Rivers has really taken command as the leader of this team. It's been obvious that the LT we all knew and loved has "lost a step", but I really think he could have still contributed to this team.

That being said, I understand it's a business and players are just commodities, traded and dropped like something that get's traded or dropped. What's gonna happen if he goes to New Orleans and they win another Super Bowl?!? There's already enough mumblings about letting Drew Brees go. Not that I think that might happen...

Bottom line is, I wish the best for LT. But if he succeeds somewhere else, does that prove that we were all wrong? It's kind of lose-lose. If he falls on his face, we would hate to see this guy we all love be embarrassed. But if he has a 1000 yard season, we look like dopes for letting him go.

Good thing it's just Football. ;-)

CA Imperial Stout


12 lbs Pale LME
1 lb. Crystal 40L
1/2 lb. Chocolate Malt
1/2 lb. Black Patent
1/2 lb. Roasted

1 oz. Cascade hops (60 min boil)
1 oz. Cascade (30 min boil)
1 oz. Cascade (15 min)
1 oz. Willamette hops (5 min late boil)
1 oz. Willamette hops (end of boil)

White Labs WLP005

-----------

So I made this recipe once before, but this time I altered it a little bit because I have a pound each of Cascade and Willamette hops. Brewed it on Sunday, Feb 14 with the help of my friend Jonathon, and I racked it to secondary last night. This picture is from the day after we brewed it. Nice krausen has formed, and it bubbling away! I'm going to let this sit in the fermenter for a while, maybe a couple of months.

Next up, I think I'm going to attempt a lager!
