Colorado B.S. Thread

Went on a hike today on a beautiful day in the foothills.



It was mostly ice and I slipped and busted my ass four times. Goddammit, nature.

Right before that, I had awaken to find a flat tire on my truck. Having left my hi lift at home, desperate measures were taken.



With the tire supposedly repaired at a nearby shop, my friend and I reinstalled the tire only to find a leak on the sidewall. We quickly torqued the lug nuts and rolled to his shop to throw on the spare (his shop is nearby and would have been more efficient).

After lifting the truck, my friend stood there and stared at the wheel. He realized that not only did we actually forget to torque the nuts, we had also left the lug key on as we drived away. Goddammit, tire.

I'm now safe at home and I'll take care of the tire tomorrow. This is about to be cracked open because unlike certain things, beer never lets me down:



I love you, beer.

 

cleaned out storage closest stumbled on this behind the dry wall cut out....hmm I wonder if I have hit a jackpot on Super Bowl XXXII? I don't think I have seen anything like this before.

• Super Bowl news paper with all the highlights and pictures
• Rare envelope with Super Bowl logo, final score and Vince Lombardi stamp
• John Elway Super Bowl MVP placard

 

...and $free.99

And keeping the kids and their videogames in the basement =priceless

It would've been worth sacrificing Leo if it came to it.

I'll tell you what though. If/when it quits working, it's coming up in pieces.

 

Probably weighs 450 lbs too.

 

It tried to kill me at one point but we managed. By the time it was in place my heart was beating pretty good!

 

Sorry, I was at an RC car race all weekend. I didn't have time for internets as I was helping run the front counter. At least you got it sorted out, not to thrilled about hearing squealing, then stalling though.

 

I should have done the RC race myself, that's more my speed these days.
Engine seems fine, it didn't knock when I started it. I think the squeal may have been air/oil blowing by that O-ring, kind of like a kazoo. When I drained the pan, there was about a quart in it, enough to fill 1/3 of a Folgers coffee can. So I caught it before it fully drained.

 

And my furnace needs replaced
I guess it's due, it's only 36 years old. Fortunately, small house, small furnace, small bill.

Does anybody have one of the 2 stage units or the variable speed? How do you like it?
Just curious, mine is an ancient DC single stage.

 

Are we having a raffle?

 

I didn't see her name in the birthday list and she's not old enough to be lying about it yet...what gives?
Oh, just in case, Happy Birthday Lauren

 

Happy birthday stalker pro!

 

@PS78

have you upped your kegging game yet?

Now I just need to brew more beer.

 

i just bought another keg of dry dock apricot blond yesterday!! was going to get Avery's Lilikoi Kapolo but couldn't spend $160 on 5gal of beer that i didn't remember i liked so much!! had a can last night and should have just bought it!!

I have one sankey keg for store bought stuff, and two cornealous kegs just like yours pictured, my kegerator is only a 1 tap though!!! but ill brew soon and charge the keg and keep it in the kegerator next to whats on tap!! thats a sick setup you got going, you need to up your tap handle game though!! I'm going to purchase a Bullets2Bandages.com tap handle soon.

I really need to finish my keggerator. All I need to do is build a collar, drill some holes, and screw in the taps.

 

We did our furnace in the past year. I do like having the variable speed... quietly keeps air circulating, and steps it up when needed (you can hear it when it's really moving the air).

 

Those are pretty bad ass!

I got the drip tray from http://www.kegconnection.com/wall-mounts/ Fyi they have 50% off kegs right now. And everything else from my LHBS

I am going to build some handles out of aluminum, just got to get a design drawn up and build it. Was thinking of painting flat black and writing with chalk what the beer is. Or make them short and do dry erase on the fridge above them.

 

Get to work! and if you're handy with power tools you could even drink a beer while you do it!
