4.07

Yea - you know what I'm talking about.

$4.07

Whatever happened to $4.01 and $4.02. Gas went from $3.97 to $4.07 skipping a few numbers! And whatever happened to the .9 on the end. Is it still there? I guess I haven't noticed it lately.

Still - gas is cheaper then filling your tank up with Aquafina.
======================================
DJ made a comment this morning on the whole Favre thing that I don't think about (only talk about without really thinking). "It's like watching your parents fight, you love them both". And for US guys there is no way we can win.

Whatever happens happens. When someone at works starts to talk about it I immediately get bored. It's like rehashing what has already been rehashed. When I hear Favre/Packer talk it's like eating a hair ball. Been there done that (if I was a cat, I personally have never had a hair ball).

That does remind me of a funny story!

I lived with a guy (Chris) once and I came home and he was on the floor writhing in pain clutching his sides.

He did not know what it was and I said maybe it was gas or something. He was getting real bad and I happened to have charcoal tabs (not sure why I would have them but I did). I knew they were good for gas (or something like that).

He took a few but it did not help. Finally we decided he had to go to the emergency room. I was dating DJ at the time so we drove around and found a place and they admitted him.

The quickly deduced it was a kidney stone and started to medicate him. Feeling a little sick to his stomach he thought a bucket would be in order and just as they gave him one he blew chow. BLACK CHOW!!! He said the nurses eyes got REALLY big as jet black vomit filled the bucket! NOT EXPECTING THAT WERE YA!! LOL

He explained and all was well.
========================================
Eleven in years ago today my favorite designer was killed. Varsace.
===========================================

The mad scientist is at it again. Look at those beautiful carboys!! The one with the pretty towel is a Porter fermenting away. A wet towel with a fan (not pictured) keeps the wort at a nice constant 66 degrees, 2 degrees cooler then the ambient 68 degrees in the basement.


The tube coming out is a blowoff tube that is inserted for the first few days because of THIS!!

messy messy during the second stage of fermentation. The yeast are now eating the sugar and farting out Co2 and Alcohol.

YIKES - it's all I have time for today - meetings!!

Have you ever noticed just how much "work" gets in the way of "fun"? I have to find a job that "fun".

There was a woman in our building that was a homebrew hobbiest that quit and started The Grumpy Troll Brewery.

hmmmmmmm! ;-)

Hey - I just moved up a place!!!! Check it out.

  2. The entire Versace murder was just sureal...and then just a few weeks later....Diana...


    In The House Of Osh Cattery News:

    NO FELINE HERPES! this is awesome news that had me in a panic...the test was run again, we thought Maisey was going to lose an eye today and be renamed as Mad Eye Maisey...it is just a very bad cornea ulcer. And the best news is Dillinger did not pass it along!

    Dillinger is not a STD carrying gangster!...however, the vet did call him a pistol and he did attempt escape from the cage before and after the deballing, but it was to get in some "purr time" from his favorite vet tech. He is living up to his name.

  3. Yummy... Fried Cheesecurds... That sounds yummy Maegan! Where is it by?

    Osh - I'm glad Dilly baby is okay, besides being deballed :(

  4. Jenny, Dilly doesn't even miss his balls. He was too busy playing with his sisters and stuffs to ever notice them.

  6. Yay osh & kitties! It was starting to sound like a brothel up there. Hope they all feel better soon.

  7. Rod, I always pegged you for an Armani guy. Shows what I know.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Sadly, I didn't have Rod pegged as either.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Becky, just read your comment, so sorry to hear about that...let us know what turns up. I haven't been in the job market for YEARS now, so I am prety much only qualified at yelling at school district employees and collecting cats...sorry I can't help you.

  10. YEAH for no kitty-herpes!!!
    Ginny's gotta see the doc this week anyway, but good to know-thanks, Osh!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I love good kitty news! :D My Bunkie hasn't thrown up for over 24 hours now. Whew. Think it was the "expensive and improved" food I tried to put him on for seniors. The car bill was big enough, I didn't need a vet bill with more bad news this week.

    Sorry-got on a tangent there, didn't I? :p

    $4.07 is bullshit. I need a job in Columbus. Think I'll get on that. ;)

    Beer and cheesecurds sounds like a meal. YUMMO!!

    Didn't you guys see Rod's Versace bag over the 4th?

  12. oh that bag will go nicely with his beer labels!

    Rod makes me laugh in a good way!

    Y'all do!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Maegan - is it a restaurant/brewery type thing? It sounds nummy.

    So who's coming to Kurth tomorrow night? I think we need to get some taco pizza from Day One!

    Suz - I hope you can find a job closer to home ;)

    ReplyDelete
  14. Fried cheese curds sound WONDERFUL!!!

    Better than the gas..... you all be happy with a little over $4..... we WERE at $4.67+ and are now down to $4.39+ ...... and that doesnt go a long way in a truck that only gets 10-12 MPG........ LOL......

    I have a new baby chick!!!! Check out my blog! Spring in July.... who would have thought!?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Minxie - Your chicky baby is sooo cute :)

  16. I'm "up" or "down" for a Kurth night tomorrow. Let's make it a date, Jenny!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Thanks Osh! Yeah.. it really stinks... I don't want to leave this company... but I have a feeling if things don't change Midwest won't survive. =( It's probably a good thing, make me get off my (beep) and get a better paying job. I'll let ya know how my progress goes.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Boy Becky.. Good luck. Glad I am past all that job worry.

    ReplyDelete

  26. Gas has jumped to 4.29 from 4.15 here in Waukesha/Mukwonago. Of course, I am closer to Empty than Full. $70 for a tank of gas the last time was freaking me out...I wonder what I'll do with the next fill.

    Becky, I thought of you right away when I heard about Midwest...maybe you could sell the towel for some extra cash ;) Seriously tho, hope all works out for you!

    Osh, glad to see kittehs are on the mend...nice porn pic of Dillinger, btw. Kitteh junk ala Osh!

    I wish I could join the Kurth's crew but we have t ball on Wed. What happened to Fridays???

    Anyone see JD in the July 21st People mag? Pg. 22 sailing near his private island in Little Halls Pond Cay. His "Dr. Seuss" beanie is in his back pocket as usual. I'll get it scanned and post.

    Hope everyone's keeping cool!

  29. Hey Everyone!

    I wanted to let you all know that JMB sent a really nice "Thank You" letter for the Birthday card that all you guys sent. I'll try and stop by the Kurt with it on Friday, he also sent a really cool picture of himself that I'm sure you guys would love to see. For those of you who won't be there John wrote,

    "Well the Film is over, it was grueling in Chicago, but we Did It! I think it will be great. Say Hello to all those Lovely people in Columbus who sent me the Birthday Card."

    Still enjoying the Blog, hope to see some of you on Friday.

    ReplyDelete
  32. That's awesome Rudy. I'm glad he liked it :) Hope your feeling well still :)

    I like Kurth better on Wednesdays because it gives me something to look forward to in the middle of the week. It helps keep the week from dragging on.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Money shot?? It's true - woman do not know the meaning.

    What happened to Fridays?

    One thing I did not say in my Letters to the Editor is the amount of Beer I now drink.

    Kurth on Wednesday is like looking forward to Monday Night football.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Thank's Girls!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Rod..., trust me, I know the real meaning of money shot. TRUST ME.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  37. I guess we could do Kurth Friday instead.

    ReplyDelete
  38. OK, nevermind, I just looked it up on Wikipedia...

    ReplyDelete
  39. If we did Kurth on Friday, people would be able to stay longer...

    ReplyDelete

  41. I can't believe I'm going to chime in here just to say, moi aussi osh (Rod thinks we don't know our porn?)... but I really just wanted to get my avatar in the game one more time tonight. 0-for-3, no money shot.
    Good on Sheets though!

    We'll try to stop by the Kurth tomorrow night (me&jr.) if that's the consensus for this week's gathering, but it'll probably be on the later side.

    -Mary
