Yep. I'll be bottling the the Mr. Beer extract stuff in the next couple of days. I think I was pretty diligent with the sanitation, so it should turn out fine. My gear arrived today, so I'm set to brew my first all-grain batch this weekend. I'm going to stick to small batches so I can do more experimenting with the process and recipes. The first batch will be keeping it simple: pale malt, a little caramel malt to add some sweetness and aroma, and Cascade hops. I need to sit down and figure out the quantities with a brewing calculator, but I'm aiming for an American Pale Ale style.

Seldom do I love everything someone has done to modify a car. This car ticks all of the boxes for me=P

Earl, I never knew you were a cholo [emoji6]

I'd prefer that to be a black Continental.

[Earl]

I accept that=P Continentals are sweet but I really like the look of 67 Impalas and Caprices.

Rad=) 

I found this when I was looking at Continentals. It was a limo prototype with steps for guards to stand

[Earl]

Here is one for Pat=)

Anyone do anything fun over the weekend?  I had a work party and worked.  I'm a boring piece of crap.

Help me live vicariously through your amazing weekends?

I pulled millions of staples out of the subfloor at my house in preparation for the new flooring. Is that what you were thinking?

how do you like that game?

[REKIII]

Your stuff sounds much more exciting than mine.  Wish I had time to do home projects.  I've been working on wiring an outlet for the new Central vac system for like a month.

[Earl]

I only played it for about an hour. If you enjoy huge explosions and tethering people up to buildings or behind cars, you'll love it haha

I bought a new Dewalt combo kit (dck290L2) this weekend, that was fun I suppose.  It's a hammer drill and impact driver kit with 2 3.0ah li-ion batteries and a charger.  It was $100 off so I couldn't pass it up!

[Earl]

That is a good deal=) Think of all the activities!!!!!!

[Bassboy3313]

All my power tools are 20V dewalt. I have that kit too and love it. Also have the dewalt flashlight, circular saw and heated hoodie. All use the same batteries. They're greeeeeeeat!!!

[patsbimmer1]

I'm pretty excited about it!  I had a cheap Skil set and the batteries have been slowly dying for the last few months.  I finally gave up when I was drilling holes for shelves last Thursday and was able to 16 of 24 holes on 2 fully charged batteries in plaster.  I had to grab my back up black and decker to drill the last couple holes.  We're looking to refinish our master bath this spring and i'm sure this will come in handy.

going from worn batteries to 18/20v lithium is mind boggling. i forget to charge my 18v stuff because it never seems to die while using it. i've been drooling over 6.0ah batteries because I'm pretty sure you could build a whole house on one charge.
