First!
Where have Y’all been we’re burning daylight.

‘Bout the videos, let’s just hope that there is more of them. I posted three links yesterday about folks changing their vote, my #23, #24 and #26.

Dave: No daylight to burn at Chez 42! It’s been overcast and raining ever since I rolled out this morning. I have a tendency, which I usually overcome, to stay in bed on Saturday mornings until it is clear that the sun is well and truly “up”. Once long ago I got up at 5:30 pm on a stormy Saturday because there was never enough daylight filtering in through the blinds to trigger my must-get-up alarm.

From an Webz wit
“To fight for the GOP’s very existence, we have chosen Mitt Romney as our standard bearer. Unfortunately no one can stand him or bear him.”
Good morning raining in Friendswood. The sequestration debacle has me on hiatus from one of my 3 projects for a month. Back to 40 hour weeks and free weekends. At least until it’s discovered I’m available.
Folks aren’t hiring until after the election and resources are stretched thin. If President Obama is re-elected competition will continue. If not, it will be into the new year until the market figures out if it’s a return to favored players in industry and capitalism goes back on the sick list. -
Drizzly good morning Hamsters. Mugly 75 at 6 now down to 73 and light rain with a fleetingly lighter sky to the west. Already have a bit over half an inch in the plastic gauge, and most of that came in one big cluster that has since moved east. The weather bureau’s 80% chance has been 100% fulfilled for today, and we’ve got hours to go.
It was a good morning for sleeping in, but the mares would have seriously objected as did Mariposa. Just before 6 she was nudging us in bed and asking for attention that included her breakfast first. Can appreciate mharper42’s plight in waiting for sunlight to stir out of bed. Presume all day will be prime nap time regardless of chores or a good book in hand.
Why not? 🙂 -
How many weeks before Dan Patrick declares that Democrats are the party of the anti-christ? That’s always the milestone for me that it’s time to get serious.

No one captures the vacuousness that is Barack Hussein Obama better than Mark Steyn:
And so it was with President Obama’s usual visionary, inspiring, historic, etc, address to the U.N. General Assembly the other day: “The future must not belong to those who bully women,” he told the world, in a reference either to Egyptian clitoridectomists or the Republican Party, according to taste. “The future must not belong to those who target Coptic Christians,” he added. You mean those Muslim guys? Whoa, don’t jump to conclusions. “The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam,” he declared, introducing to U.S. jurisprudence the novel concept of being able to slander a bloke who’s been dead for getting on for a millennium-and-a-half now. If I understand correctly the cumulative vision of the speech, the future will belong to gay feminist ecumenical Muslims. You can take that to the bank. But make no mistake, as he would say, and in fact did: “We face a choice between the promise of the future or the prisons of the past, and we cannot afford to get it wrong.” Because if we do, we could spend our future living in the prisons of the past, which we forgot to demolish in the present for breach of wheelchair-accessibility codes.
And the crowd went wild! Well, OK, they didn’t. They’re transnational bureaucrats on expense accounts, so they clapped politely, and then nipped out for a bathroom break before the president of Serbia. But, if I’d been one of the globetrotting bigwigs fortunate enough to get an invite – the Prime Minister of Azerbaijan, say, or the Deputy Tourism Minister of Equatorial Guinea – I would have responded: Well, maybe the future will belong to those who empower women and don’t diss Mohammed. But maybe it’ll belong to albino midgets who wear pink thongs. Who knows? Que sera sera, whatever will be will be, the future’s not ours to see. But one thing we can say for certain is that the future will not belong to broke losers. You’re the brokest guy in the room, you’re the President of Brokistan. You’ve got to pay back 16 trillion dollars just to get back to having nothing, nada, zip. Who the hell are you to tell us who the future’s going to belong to? -
The Beelzebubocrats are the party of the anti-christ? No way.
The party that booed God at their convention. Maybe they were just getting into the Halloween spirit a little early. -

Wow! powerful words. I didn’t read the article, just you’re quote. Based on the rhetoric, I’m guessing he’s channeling Ahmedijad or even perhaps Karl Marx. Or any of those other anti-American scumocrats on the ash heap of history.
In the meantime the American economy keeps expanding and powering the world. -
I am publishing this link again to the private fundraising effort started by Tedtam for her employee Lynsee L. Lynsee has some serious dental problems that she can’t afford to pay for. But the longer she waits, the worse her problems get. Donations from friends have got Lynsee’s treatment halfway done, now she needs to raise the additional amount and try to get her dental repair program finished ASAP. I have donated several times, and it is a secure process. If you can spare any amount at all, this is a very good cause. Please consider it. Thanks!

In the meantime the American economy keeps expanding and powering the world.
At a neck-breaking pace of 1.3% per year. While showing a net loss in private sector jobs in the last 2 years. How inspiring. . . .

When he’s not “eye candy” between Whoopi and Baba Wawa, the long-legged Mack-daddy has more important things to worry about other than a measly $16 trillion in debt:
You should know that President Barack Obama, who’s presided over the worst national non-recovery economic recovery since before John McCain was even born, is positively delighted, even thrilled, over the contract settlement between the National Football League and its referees.
Really! It is great, isn’t it? Listen over here.
Speaking on behalf of the perpetually campaigning Obama administration today, the first thing Jay Carney had to announce was that his father was from Norfolk, Virginia. But the second important exciting thing that the president’s principal principal press secretary had to deliver to the world, including the 23 million Americans under- or unemployed was:
“The President is very pleased that the two sides have come together to resolve their differences and ensure that going forward, when we watch our favorite teams play in the NFL, we can focus on the players and the game rather than on the officiating. It’s a great day for America.”
“A great day for America!” -

Thanks for the help with Lynsee. She could still use the money, but found some kind of credit card thingie that helped her get her teeth fixed. (Don’t know how in the world she got that thing – the rate on it must be sky high.) She could use the money to pay off that debt, and after losing so much time at work due to her illness, she’s lost her babysitter trying to pay off other bills.
Her teeth are better, but she is still suffering financially because of it.
Just to clarify. -
Remember that “art” piece with the crucifix in urine?
A lot of us thought it was in poor taste and ignored it. The Catholic League however endorses the artiness of it and is presenting a similar piece using the President of the United States and dog feces simulacrum.
I guess I really don’t understand contemporary religious art. -
#10 mharper42, Just like the last time it says that my credit card info is invalid although it works EVERYWHERE else. Ifin’ Tedtam will shoot me an E Mail, I’ll snail mail the dang Thang. 😉

Well, she emailed this recently:
It has been a while since I have posted. I want to thank all of you again for helping me the way you have . My heart will forever be touched by this experience. Half the work is done and I feel much better. My next endeavor includes removing the crown that was next to the decayed tooth on the bottom right side. The tooth under the crown is decayed and im starting to feel an infection in my ear coming back. The current porcelain crown has a crack so will not be able to reuse if they can even save the tooth. I have been very busy with my growing angel son (who is walking now <3 but wanted everyone to know my progress and to express my gratitude once again. God bless you all !!
So that is why I reposted, here and on FB.

An interesting item in the Chronicle today, highlighting one of those practices that many of the American founding fathers were opposed to. The use of the government to collect tithes for the church. In Germany and other European countries, if one registers as a member of a particular church, the government collects a tax from you and delivers it to the church.
This was one of the falling outs that Thomas Jefferson had with Patrick Henry of “Give me liberty or give me death” fame. Henry wanted the state of Virginia to collect money and provide it to the Catholics, as a compromise he offered for the state to collect money and distribute it to all religions.In Germany, Catholics, Protestants and Jews pay a surcharge of up to nine percent on their income tax bills — or about €56 ($72) a month for a single person earning a pre-tax monthly salary of about €3,500 ($4,500).
….
The Catholic Church in Germany receives about €5 billion ($6.5 billion) annually from the surcharge. For Protestants, the total is just above €4 billion ($5.2 billion). -
Texas seizure of private property and delivery for use by foreign companies is in the news again.
This time, it’s access across land used to grow cattle feed. I can understand why Progressives and conservatives are opposed to the practice. It’s that age old argument about doing what the state wants versus a citizen’s rights. -
Happy to know that Lynsee is making progress on her dental care.
SD, I sent a donation via snail mail to TT to give to Lynsee, and that worked very well. And best of all she gets the entire amount, no bite taken by the fundraising org. 🙂 -
FoxFars news agency busted for postingRNCfake news stories word for word. The article published “found that 77 per cent of white, rural voters would rather go to a baseball game or have a beer with Mr Ahmadinejad than with the US president.”It went on to cite a made-up West Virginian named Dale Swiderski, who said that he preferred the Iranian to Mr Obama because: “He takes national defense seriously, and he’d never let some gay protesters tell him how to run his country like Obama does.”

The publisher who, among other things, stood up to the federal government by publishing the Pentagon Papers has died.
Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, who guided The New York Times and its parent company through a long, sometimes turbulent period of expansion and change on a scale not seen since the newspaper’s founding in 1851, died on Saturday at his home in Southampton, N.Y. He was 86.

The marxist muslim jugeared jackazz wants to give the mooslime brotherhood in Egypt $450 million in cash to help them make the transition to democracy.

Obama administration tells contractors again: Don’t issue layoff notices
The Labor Department issued guidance in July saying it would be “inappropriate” for contractors to issue notices of potential layoffs tied to sequestration cuts. But a few contractors, most notably Lockheed Martin, said they still were considering whether to issue the notices — which would be sent out just days before the November election.
But the Friday guidance from the Office of Management and Budget raised the stakes in the dispute, telling contractors that they would be compensated for legal costs if layoffs occur due to contract cancellations under sequestration — but only if the contractors follow the Labor guidance.
The guidance said that if plant closings or mass layoffs occur under sequestration, then “employee compensation costs for [Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification] WARN act liability as determined by a court” would be paid for covered by the contracting federal agency. -
Democrats lay out plan to finish off this great country
second-term wish list for President Obama.“He’s got to continue to concentrate on jobs,” Rep. Bill Pascrell said last week as the House was leaving town for a long, pre-election recess. = Gub’ment jobs.
“I’m hoping he’ll do immigration reform,” said Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas). = Blanket amnesty.
“We should get back to an energy policy – one that acknowledges that climate change is real,” said Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.). = Cap & Tax
“The critical issues will be revenue generation … and … a concerted push on immigration reform,” said Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.). = Raise taxes on all the working people, the ones that PULL the wagon.
“I think he’d want his administration to start on healthcare,” said Rep. Mike Honda (D-Calif.). = Finish off health care as we know it.🙁
-
The following blockquote was taken from the comments section of this article The Top 5 worst taxes of O-Care.
T’was the night before elections,
And all thru’ the town,
Tempers were flaring
Emotions ran up and down.
I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap,
Had shut off the TV,
tired of political crap.
When all of a sudden,
There arose such a noise,
I peered out my window,
Saw Obama and his boys
They had come for my wallet,
They wanted my pay
To hand out to others
Who had not worked a day!
He snatched up my money,
And quick as a wink,
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink.
He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart.
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!
‘On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, on Pelosi’
He screamed at the pairs!
They took off for his cause,
And as they flew out of sight,
I heard him laugh at a nation
Who wouldn’t stand up and fight!
So I leave you to think on this one final note…
IF YOU DON’T WANT SOCIALISM GET OUT AND VOTE !!!! -
It’s banned books week. While I am opposed to the banning of the written word for any reason, I understand access restrictions although I agree with Ray Bradbury, “You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”
Texas is at the lowest level in history, although I suspect that’s due to the book banning organizations using their funds elsewhere in the political season instead of alarmist declarations. Also common sense appears to be breaking through occasionally.Asking parents to sit down and read the titles that concern them before making official complaints in writing has helped streamline complaints and bring the numbers of banned books down, Burke says.
Imagine that, reading and forming an opinion; how novel!

I’m thinking that between the beating Barry took at the hands of the Univision guys (“You broke that promise, didn’t you?” and “Why haven’t you fired Eric Holder?”) and this upcoming presentation, he might not have the Hispanic vote as tied up as he thinks he does.

WHY I’M VOTING DEMOCRATIC
I’m voting Democratic because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
I’m voting Democratic because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
I’m voting Democratic because when we pulled out of Iraq, I believed that the bad guys will stop what they’re doing because they now think we’re the good people.
I’m voting Democratic because I believe that people who can’t tell us if it will rain next week or next month CAN tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in TEN YEARS if I don’t start driving a Prius.
I’m voting Democratic because I want to keep paying taxes to keep all death row inmates alive and well.
I’m voting Democratic because I want to keep the borders wide open because we don’t have enough crime here yet.
I’m voting Democratic because our taxes are not high enough.
I’m voting Democratic because I think every person, legal and illegal, is entitled to FREE education, FREE insurance, FREE food, FREE housing and any other things that I have worked for all my life.
I’m voting Democratic because I believe that businesses should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.
I’m voting Democratic because I believe three or four pointy-headed elitist liberals need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would NEVER get their agendas past the voters.
I’m voting Democratic because I believe that when the terrorists don’t have to hide from us over there, when they come over here I don’t want to have any guns in the house to fight them off with.
I’m voting Democratic because I love the fact that I can now marry whomever I want. I’ve decided to marry my horse. LOL
I’m voting Democratic because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t. -

Rained steadily out here north of Richmond, and the rain gauge says a bit over 3.1″ so far today. More moving in from the west that looks like it will come over us in an hour or so, but for now it’s down to a drizzle. Puddles galore in the front yard for now. An unlikely trio of two ducks and one cattle egret wandered through the yards and into the pastures for an hour or so feasting on bugs driven up from the soil by the rain. The recent heavy downpour seems to have discouraged them, and they’re outta here. Come on cold front.

Romney transition team is measuring for drapes.
Mitt Romney’s campaign may be struggling, but his transition operation is moving full steam ahead.
The GOP presidential candidate’s Washington team is intensifying its efforts, moving into official office space and holding meetings on Capitol Hill. The team has also begun reaching out to K Streeters and former Republican administration officials to get guidance on the Senate confirmation process and recommendations for jobs in a possible Romney White House.In the meantime Mormon supporters are hoping for a Rom Kippur. If Romney wins, I guess that would validate the Mormon brand of Christianity.
Mormon supporters of Mitt Romney are promoting a day of mass fasting and prayer to seek divine help for the Republican candidate in the debates.

Just got back from a wedding reception for a couple of friends of mine from church. They are playing up the “Arkansas hillbilly and the Dutch girl” theme. I understand that she was wearing wooden clogs before I arrived, and sometime after I showed up they put on straw hillbilly hats for the bouquet and garter throw. Before he left, I saw the groom and was wearing his hat but going barefoot. They looked really great together. I got some dancing in, so it was good.
Lovely Daughter had arranged a Momma/Daughter cake pop making class for us, so I missed the wedding. The groom was okay with it, so I gave the couple the cake pops that survived the whole genesis event to them as part of my wedding gift. I figured it would be appropriate. (Three of them ended up on the floor, and they were replaced by my teacher. Two other pops broke up as I was dipping them in the coating. I quickly destroyed the evidence. 😀 Yum! )

A quotable quote I came across…
“Southerners have a sense of place that is less prevalent elsewhere in America. In New York and California everyone seems to be from somewhere else. The remainder are in real estate. Here in the North it is much the same. And institutionally we are committed to the eradication of memory. As a southerner who has lived in declining Michigan and the hysterically secular New York, I am not surprised that the North and the East Coast have submitted so completely to division and grievance rooted in the thinner soil of ideology and social justice. The ground in which amnesia blooms. The South has made much more progress not only economically but racially in the richer earth of religion and history.
Because southerners tend to be more religious and more devout they have that sense of deep biblical and divine history that shapes their sense of history overall. It is now a more friendly place for Catholicism for example than say Detroit or Manhattan or San Francisco or Washington, DC or the City of the Angels.” -

What is a cake pop? -
#64 Shannon, I love it, but remember that the southern folks were often living in the country and scattered thin. I remember when my baby girl was given an assignment in 6 th grade to interview a GrandPa or someone that age. She interviewed my Dad, her GrandPa and one of the questions she asked was about racism and how they got along with the black folks. My Dad told her He!! we were poor, and so were they so we all had to stick together when times got tough. When my Dad was about 6 his only friend besides family was a little black boy. The boy’s Dad was the eldest member of a farming family over by Long Street range and since there were more than enough kids to help in their planting/harvest, he’d work for my GrandPa for a dollar a day and bring his boy with him. FWIW; The white folks and the black folks didn’t have much to do with each other unless there was a need, midwives/farriers come to mind.

Not falling for the henway.
A cake pop is like a lollipop, but with a knob of cake instead of the candy.
How to make one? It’s a rather tedious method, the way we were shown today. I’ve seen some special pans to make round cake lollies, but I’m not sure how’d they hold up to the icing and decorating stages.
First, bake a cake batter. Make sure it’s not a moist batter – you want it to be a drier mix. When the cake is baked, crumble it up to dry it out more and cool it down. When it’s completely dry and cool, add a very small amount of frosting, a surprisingly small amount. Fill your hand with the dough and squish and squish and squish it together. Roll the dough into balls between the size of a large marble and a golf ball. Melt some candy melts, purchased usually at your hobby or cake specialty store, and dip the stick into the candy and cover one tip with the candy. Take that tip, and gently twist into the middle of the cake ball. Set it aside for a few minutes to solidify. This will “glue” the cake ball to the stick. Then care-full-y dip the cake ball into the melted candy. Then, holding it mostly upright, tap it against the edge of a bowl to get rid of the excess coating. Sprinkles at this time are optional. Wipe the stick clean with your finger, and then put the cake pop into some foam to hold it up until the coating is completely dry. You now have a little round cupcake on a stick.
Cupcakes are a lot simpler. I don’t know how people make money selling these things. They’re fun to make in small batches, but I can’t see large orders being anything but tedious. -

Ol’ Lonnie, Lonny and Melvin sure look a lot alike. -
Here’s a question for the upcoming presidential debate:
If elected, how will each of you handle the worst economy in history that you will inherit when you take office?
And the follow up question:
Will either one of you all be blaming George Bush for the worst economy in history?
Or how about this one:
If you are elected will you be taking responsibility for what happens or will you try to find someone in your administration to blame?
Or how about this one:
Do either of you plan to allow your wives to take extensive and expensive vacations on the taxpayer’s dime?
Or how about this one:
Do either of you plan to change your religion and become a muslim?
Or how about this one:
Do either of you plan to add more federal debt that your kids will have to pay for in the future?
Or how about this one:
Do either of you plan to use a teleprompter to provide to you all your thoughts and speeches?
Or how about this one:
Do either of you plan to ever have any press conferences? And will you be taking any hard questions?
Or how about this one:
Will either one of you finally be releasing your college transcripts?
And finally, how about this one:
Do either of you think Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton will make a good presidential candidate in 2016?
Well, I didn’t start out trying to create a “Top Ten” list of questions but it sure ballooned to that. I know there have got to be other questions, so feel free to add to my list. -

Eastwood is genius in how he set out his career path — when he was younger and full of P&V, he played a mean sum b##+* on the big screen, after he tired of that, had some fun on film. When he got old and grumpy, made movies playing a grumpy old man. Then just decided to get on a big stage and p!ss off the Democrats, just for the hell of it! 😛

UnlessSince the debate is hosted byFoxPro-Obumma propagandistsnews, I doubt anyorganizationof his sycophantic servants will have the cojones to ask him anythosetough questions.
They haven’t asked him a tough question in 5 years so why start now?
But keep hoping. -

That’s funny!
A new government is being formed and some “artist” adds Jesus looking for a handout.
I guess that’s why it’s called blasphemy day. -
Adherents of the religion of peace torch Buddhist Temples and homes of Buddhists in Bangladesh because someone may have posted something deemed insulting on a facebook page.
HEADLINE: Muslim protesters torch Buddhist temples, homes in Bangladesh
COX’S BAZAR, Bangladesh (Reuters) – Hundreds of Muslims in Bangladesh burned at least four Buddhist temples and 15 homes of Buddhists on Sunday after complaining that a Buddhist man had insulted Islam, police and residents said.
Dya think that the Buddhists may feel that they were insulted when their Temples and homes were burned? Are Buddhists ever the ones to engage in violence against anyone? Exactly which group is the real problem here and wissin near every other place in the world where violence is occurring . . . .it is the friggen mooslimes.

And now thesz456 has seen the incontrovertible truth that we have 2 resident trolls who feel compelled to be as insulting and irritating as possible on a regular basis.

Is this a great nation or what?
Stats like these make me swill with pride.
The USA has the lowest work to beer price ratio of the 28 countries surveyed.Analysts at UBS, a Swiss bank, have calculated that it takes a German earning the national median wage just under seven minutes of work to purchase half a litre of beer at a retail outlet. At the bottom of the pint glass, low wages and high taxes mean that boozers in India must toil for nearly an hour before they have earned enough to quench their thirst.

Bones, you have not confirmed — or maybe you did but I missed it — did your employer get out of the hospital and back home OK?

we have 2 resident trolls
The new guy may have been lurking for a while, and be fully aware of this. thesz456, now that you have been warned, PLEASE do not feed the trolls.

#94 M42: Yes, he did get out of the hospital and has been BACK AT WORK for the last week and a half:>) To add even better news, the cancerous tumors in his bladder are now dead and he is in remission. The three different rounds of chemo infused directly into his bladder seem to have accomplished the objective. Interestingly enough, the check 6 weeks after the last round revealed that the cancer was still active but 6 weeks after that it is all dead. Praise to HIM from whom all healing comes.

According to The Drinking Business, Snow Beer is the most widely sold beer on the planet.
Snow Beer? -

Hubby was working a water meter for a strip center, when he looked up and did a double take on a sign for one of the businesses: “Washabeeria”
Probably a good idea. I don’t drink, but I’m sure that if one is stuck washing clothes, those are the kind of folks who wouldn’t mind having a beer to make it less mind-numbingly dull. -
I’m watching a show where they look at goofy stuff, and there’s a guy blowing bubles in an antique store. I think it shows the people I’d like to be friends with – the ones who smile and laugh.

#100 TT: When I was in college in Nacogdoches, we used to always take a backgammon board with us on laundry day, while the machines were doing their thing. I seem to recall that we were usually pretty lit before we ever got there so the beers weren’t as important.

In College Station, they do it at Harvey Washbangers. Eat, Drink and do laundry.

That old saying about how diapers and politicians should be changed often and for the same reason? That may be a little harder now.

This appears to be the template the American media, Hollywood and all the usual media supects use when reporting, writing, or producing anything concerning their beloved leader Der Obummuhrer.

Interesting take of a Byrds classic by one of the original members, Chris Hillman.Guess it would take Hillman to do it. A completely different song—miles away (8 miles?) ffom Mcguinn’s more “soaring” version, but I like it.

Still my favorite version of my Steve Earle song. Recorded at Guy Clark’s kitchen table. -
Things are going so friggen well in Afcrappystan, you know, the war we should be fighting.

Just spent a splendid afternoon with the Shamaalina and Valentina at the Houston Children’s Museum. What a wonderful institution. It was packed with kids. Mrs. Shamaal was able to accompany us and keep an eye on things.
One week ago Wednesday, they replaced her knee.
Utterly amazing. -
Hey Hamous
A good friend of mine must not have gotten “the message”, but just the same I thought you might find this interesting. If I read the visual correctly your adult beverage of choice has you hanging low and to the right. 🙂
BTW my old fave would put me in the high and to the left group. What the hell do they know? -
I gotta doubt the results of their methodology also. I’m a Becks and Sam Adam’s drinker.
-
Maybe it’s just me, but I think beer stinks. I don’t know how you guys can drink it. Hubby used to jokingly call it goat wiss, but I think he was right.
-
It’s just you.
-
And Hubby I guess.

Heh, Shiner Bock is about to lap Heineken. 😀 -
We’re gonna have to take out the Sirerra Nevada drinkers (whatever the hell that is) and I guess the Schiltz Malt Liguor guys are off the map upper left.

My favorite Gram Parsons song.

He was right!

They don’t know much ’cause I ain’t missed an election (other than city of houston) in my adult life. I have spent a lot of time in Milwaukee the last couple of years and have developed a taste for Leinenkugel.

Another version, this one with “son of Gram” and Emmy Lou. Also an ex-Burrito and ex-Eagles Bernie Leadon on guitar.

I really like the trappist style belgian ale by the new belgium brewery called 1554.

What about those of us what make our own?

Good evening Hamsters. Got 3.5″ from our rainy day, still overcast out here and blowing like mad, started out at 70 at 6 AM and made it to a high of 71, just dropped to 68 on the way down. Front is here and supposed to be partly couldy overnight or at least by tomorrow morning.
The acorn rain continues with added gust wind-driven energy, and each strike on the garden room roof can now be heard anywhere in the house–and loud. Frequently now the acorns bounce several times and then roll quite a distance instead of doing one or the other, and some of them likely end up on the main roof of the house rather than falling on the patio. To look at the bending branches and flapping porch banners you’d think we were plunging into the low 40s in windchill tonight. Not quite yet.
Packers eked out a 28-27 win over the Saints. Yea. Not a masterpiece but a win is a win is a win, especially after the Seattle fiasco of last week. -
I’m with # 118 Tedtam in not caring for beer, which is sacrilege if you come from Wisconsin as I do. Spouse is partial to Shiner Bock. It looks like rootbeer to me, but there the resemblance ends. Guess that is a better comparison than beer looking like goat pee, though I have not had occasion to see goat pee and so can’t comment on that. 🙂
-
Shiner Bock is the beer for those who want others to think they are worldly in their beer consumption without having to actually try something new.
They need to try a Belgian lambic trippel. -
Are you allowed to drink it full fisted or you gotta hold out your pinkie?
-
Ms Adee, go Green Bay (until week 6 I guess), congrats. BTW thank y’all for JJ Watts!
And kudos for Spouse and Shiner, my heart sinks when a fellow man goes astray. -
A lambic trippel?
Full-fisted. At least the first one.
The method of drinking the second one will depend on the type of drunk you are. They can be pretty stiff, especially if consumed in the half-liter size. After that, you’ll be laying on the floor with people standing over you saying, “You alright, buddy?” in whatever the lingua franca of the locale the bar happens to be in. -

Pardon my ignorance, I assumed nutmeg would be involved. My experimenting in the past yields crappy results. I sticks with what I know. -

The term lambic means that a beer was fermented using natural yeast as opposed to cultured yeast. Lambics are brewed essentially like standard ales, except for inoculating the yeast into the wort. Lambics are left in a big open fermentation tank where whatever yeast happens to be blowing around can fall into the wort. This yeast can then multiply with reckless abandon until the wort is fermented to dryness (or until the yeast can’t handle the alcohol content any more).
These ales were first developed by monks who only knew the first three ingredients for beer – water, barley malt, hops – and not the fourth, yeast. We all owe a huge debt to those trappist monks who kept the art of brewing alive through the plagues.
Trippels are simply stronger versions of dubbels, which are stronger versions of standard trappist ales. They have more sugar in the wort and can wind up around 9% or more ABV – most beer is around 4.5% ABV; wine is around 11-12% ABV. A pint of trippel is about the same alcohol as 1/2 liter of wine. -
One other factoid about lambics – if the brewery is disturbed – in any way whatsoever – the beer can dramatically change character permanently. The yeast strains are very sensitive to their environment, much like scotch stills are sensitive to the dents and metallurgy in the pot stills.

Intresting……

Heh. Nutmeg. The gift that keeps on giving.

The President has ordered that a private company divest itself of anything to do with four wind farms in Oregon, citing national security.
An official with a Chinese company said Saturday that the company was shocked that the United States has blocked its wind farm purchase deal, adding it will seek “a fair and square result.”
U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday prevented Ralls Corp., a company owned by Chinese nationals, from owning four wind farms in Boardman, Oregon, citing national security risks for their locations near the Naval Weapons Systems Training Facility. -

The Texans were smart to pick JJW. 🙂 Unfortunately for the Badgers, all their really good players graduated and so they are a rather depleted team this year. 🙁
Will have to watch the Packers-Texans game on the tube rather than at the game with the Houston Packers fan club, as we’ll be in Wisconsin visiting kin that week.
