my sister on CA coast says the winds are howling; their ten day forecast has a lot of rain in it, enough to worry them, since last big
rain a year ago their entire neighborhood had a mini landslide. Part of one property washed away and whacked into sister's house on way down to ocean.
35 grand of damage later and a big mess. Whole area re-landscaped, re-drained, but this is the big test.

RNG, hope this is not too much at once.

have headache from school board meeting/zoom, time to kick back

To each their own, but I like my stout (and porters) at cellar temperature. I guess if you have a Lucas refrigerator, you could put stout in there, though.

I keep my stouts and porters in the fridge in the garage. It isn’t set very cool.

They come out, are allowed to warm a bit, then get poured into a pint glass to warm a bit more and get a chance to “breath“. By the time I start to drink it, it is close to cellar temperature.

the idea of warm beer is about as appealing to me as too cold white wine.
I understand you get more flavor and bouquet as the beer warms up.
But not like folks warm their beer up for the winter...

make my beer cold and my white wine garage temp, maybe 60 degrees.
Unless it's German and a little sweet. That needs to be cold.
my late wife would always put the white wine in the fridge and it comes out at 36 degrees or so, and takes a long time to warm up enough.
So in setting up for parties, I'd always bring it out early, let everything breath.
Too cold wine always seems to be a bit sour too. Unhappy. It wants to warm up...

I really enjoy a fruity rum drink. Probably sends me into glycemic shock.
so no rum for the dumb.

I'm keeping an eye on this one, too, Drew. Even the BBC is screaming bloody murder about how bad it's going to be. Rain every day for at least the next ten days. First year I was here, it rained every day in December. But then in January, it didn't rain a drop. Then there was the February Pineapple express that blew out the spillway at Oroville dam...

And for some reason, I'm cringing every time I hear the glass sliding doors groan when the wind gusts. And right now, it's gusting to 35 MPH.

The good news is that, so far at least, the Starlink internet service is working fine. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

More good news: I finally caught up with this thread.
Until tomorrow morning, that is...

Good (Thursday) arvo. Overnight Low of 9.5C and it's presently warmed up to 22.4C, partly cloudy with a breeze. It cooled off enough last evening that I had to put the electric heater on however it looks like Summer is back for a wee visit again.

So far today we've cleaned the chimney... couldn't get the cap off due to sticky creosote build-up, but it'll get me through this Winter and I'll have to get a handyman in next year.

I've just finished lunch (Aunt made me a BLT), so this arvo I'll get the string-cutter out & around the house, then go for a grass mow on the Z-turn.

That's about it, take care all.

Stick with yellow (lager) beer, and cold is good. The darker beers need to be served in the 58F range to fully appreciate the flavor. Don't like the flavor? Stick with lager. Same reason you serve red wine at room temp, and white refrigerated. Though I've been known to enjoy a reisling at room temperature...

Three of us once got sixteen dollar rooms at a motel in Winslow, AZ during a motorcycle trip. The only restaurant open was a Chinese place. I ordered a bottle of Zinfandel, and they served a white zin, which I refused. Something lost in translation for sure. Ordered a bottle of Cabernet, and it came cold as a well digger's knee. I asked them to warm it up, and they looked at me like I had three eyeballs. I shut up and just drank it...

We went to three different stores this past weekend looking for eggnog. Found little pint sized glass bottles of the stuff for an outrageous price, and it wasn't even spiked. Scored a bottle of Captain Morgan spiced rum to save the day. The same company also sold banana flavored milk, and once dosed with the CM, it was even better!

Good evening. Great day today. Wife got her steel plate removed from her arm that she broke last year.

Great news check

Hope Kyle and family are doing well

How about ohm F speakers for pipe organ music? Anyone familiar with them

 

[Looking4new]

Yeah, but those old University horns were so efficient you could get theater-filling SPLs and base response down to 6Hz in a proper cabinet with a 40-watt tube amp….

With that in mind, I guess my two NIKKO Alpha 230 watt amps would be a bit of overkill? I also have the pre-amp for them.
