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.

Maegen said...

grumpy troll is like 5 min from my house!! I love the beer and they have the best fried cheesecurds!!!

Osh said...

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.

Jenny said...

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

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

Osh said...

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

Maegen said...

the grumpy troll is in mt horeb... just off main street... they brew their own beer..and they are famous for their "grumpy burger" too

M said...

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

Becky, last comment from yesterday: The news about Midwest was horrible... how awful that it's affecting you. Best of luck to you! Please let us know how you're doing.

-Mary

M said...

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

Osh said...

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

Osh said...

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.

krisx said...

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

Suz said...

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?

http://tinyurl.com/5qykjb

Hehehe.....

Osh said...

oh that bag will go nicely with his beer labels!

Rod makes me laugh in a good way!

Y'all do!

Jenny said...

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 ;)

~Minxie~ said...

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!?

Jenny said...

Minxie - Your chicky baby is sooo cute :)

Suz said...

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

Becky said...

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.

carol said...

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

Grinder said...

I like Oscar de la Ranta also!!

I'll bring Kurds to the Kurth!

I have a meeting before Kurthing though.

lawgirl said...

Becky-What kind of work did you do for them? I know lots of people-I may be able to help you find something. What are your qualifications?

email me at ttslaw@yahoo.com.

Osh said...

hey, Evan and I are up for Kurth's tomorrow night! Sign us up! Suz, we can bring da goods! Tell us a time!
YAY!

Captain Anne Bonny said...

Grumpy Troll has the best fried cheese curds and great root beer :) we haven't been there in a while I think we need to go back.

Movie Star Wife said...

Yeah Rod, you are so darn close to 108 aren't you? Just kidding, I think you have a few years to go.

Angel said...

I am up for kurth's tomorrow.

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!
Peg

Osh said...

Evan insisted on the money shot of Dillinger! He siad it would bring my hits up!

I think they do Kurth't on Wednesday and Friday now...

And I have to AW Streetwiser/Evan...I think he is a funny writer.

Robbi said...

I just paid $4.05 in Watertown...
Crazy !!!!!Crazy!!!

I pegged you for Perry Ellis Guy Rod!
Hahahahaha!!!!!!

Osh,Glad Dillinger is doing good...

I think Kurth might be a good way to Celebrate my B-Day tomorrow night!
Sounds like a plan....

rudy said...

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.

Cybermom said...

Happy Bday Robbi! Hope you have a great day...

shakenbsis said...

Versace, eh Rod? missed that first time around! ;)

Almost 90$ to fill my tank last time!!! grrr...

Happy Birthday Robbi!

That is the best news ever Oshy!! I was REALLY bummin on lil Dilly being the carrier and all... whew, one bullet dodged!

I may be able to Kurth it tomorrow...

Jenny said...

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.

Grinder said...

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.

Robbi said...

Thank's Girls!!!!

It is actually tomorrow.....


So nice of JMB to say those nice things...'

Osh said...

Rod..., trust me, I know the real meaning of money shot. TRUST ME.
Might have to bring cake tomorrow too!
I thought Rudy was named Ruby. Stupid ears. But how freaking cool for JMB! Tell him to join us! Is 6ish a good time?

rudy said...

I should have read the posts more closely, your Kurthing it tomorrow night, Wednesday? I'll try to make tomorrow about 6pm?

Jenny said...

I guess we could do Kurth Friday instead.

Jenny said...

What's a money shot?

Jenny said...

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

Jenny said...

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

Grinder said...

Wiki has money shot? LOL

Too Funny

M said...

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

Osh said...

I'm planning on Kurthing on Wednesday...no can do this Friday...I thought you Columbus folk did it twice a week?

Robbi said...

Tomorrow is good for me at the Kurth...

Mary~ Cute Aviator~

Suz said...

I'm Kurthing it tomorrow night.

WEIRD, Rod! I have a meeting before too!

Shakes coming up? WOOT!

Oshy coming up? With goods!! Double WOOT!

Y'all are welcome to do your Fridays; I just can't anymore. Those are my money nights....

Not to be confused with my money shots.

:o

LOL

Happy Birthday, Robbie! It'll be more past 6:30 for me. I really do have an important meeting before I can come down.

Jenny said...

Happy Birthday Robbi! See you at the Kurth tonight!!!
