One of our furballs is on an inhaler for his asthma, is on a lysine syrup (a little dab on the end of my finger,) and has no problem taking pills. The little beast comes to me twice a day and just rumbles happily away on my lap for all of it. Yeah, I know.... he is rather atypical.

Time to restock the kegerator. An American wheat today, and an Irish red and a sweet stout tomorrow. I'm using an Anvil Foundry electric all grain brewery with a mash recirculating pump. It'll run on either 120V or 240V, I'm set up for 240V (for the electricians, yes, I have a GFCI breaker on...

Umm...... wow. That's sorta terrifying, Ray. I've never had a concussion (knocks wood,) I'm not sure what I'd do in your circumstances, except for the obvious, dress warmly. Gotta ask, do you feel heat?

Not the first time I've heard of this scam, and it's probably not going to be the last. Obviously, there's money to be made. Somebody I used to work with also had a race Ducati with a plate. He had somebody try to race him off the line late one night..... he just let the other guy romp on the...

I'm gonna agree with the scammer folks, this just reeks of problems, and I'm not even looking at the site or anything else. Stick with your gut feeling, and do the transfer at a police station.

Ah...... stuffed mushroom caps, then. Hadn't contemplated grilling them wrapped in foil. Thanks. Might have to try this with large portobello caps, 10-15cm in diameter.

Wait, what? Mushrooms filled with crème frâiche? Tell me more.......

Sir, this is NOT the time to fall apart. Remember him, and the good in him, through his services. There's always time later to lose it, and with people of your choosing. I'd consider that to be a rather private activity.

@LMichaels, tell your friend that an Internet stranger figures he's a good man, simply on the basis of what you're telling me. THAT..... is a rough & difficult thing to deal with.

I get that about your Dad, I had the same sort of thing. Dad finally started to realize at the end that people he thought were trustworthy really were not, and that had really caused problems between us. Dad was an MP on Okinawa at the end of WW II, and a couple of his brothers served in...

@WBegg, I'd just love one of your big anodized aluminum fan & damper assemblies..... :D

That's not humor. That's *ME*.

<raises hand> I still have 2 full tubs of SCSI HBAs, cabling, terminators, etc. in the basement. I really should recycle them, I have no remaining SCSI storage, and nothing that can use the HBAs either. And a shelf full of DLT-IV tape cartridges...... those just need to be degaussed and...

That's not the only bottle in the bar with that kind of a price tag. Life is too short to drink bad booze. Or eat bad barbecue. Ain't that why we're all here? The price on single malt Scotches has skyrocketed, bourbon is doing the same thing now. What used to be really good and affordable...

We don't get it out often. My g/f lost an aunt this past week, it just seemed like the right time. FWIW, when we found it some 25 years ago, we could get it for $50-80 a fifth. Binny's has it listed for $300 now. Needless to say, it lives in the back of the bar, hiding away where most people...

No kidding. I think that it's more important that we meet our end of days in the manner that we choose. When we make that [informed] choice, our wishes have to be honored in my opinion. Lingering on in a hospital bed was one of Dad's greatest fears, and that absolutely affected his healthcare...

IIRC, it's referred to as "super ice." It's almost always in a very shaded location, and frequently is quite dirty. I got in a snowball fight my freshman year in college over Memorial Day weekend with that stuff (Keweenaw Peninsula.)

@LMichaels, I've never had the fortune to meet him, but I have met you. I will absolutely hoist one for him tonight, possibly a Balvenie 21yo Portwood.
