holy crap.... glad to hear you're OK. How did it happen?

Was in the RH tansit lane on fwy, cops pulling over people who should be in transit lane. Guy in front of me just bracked and tried to 'swerve'/sneak into middle lane and avoid a fine. Of course that meant me locking it all up to try and stop and since I was on LH side of lane he cut me off. In locking it up and whilst trying to swerve, the bike low sided and down I go.

I'm not wrapped with the driver but since I was behind, it's hard to prove he is at fault.

I've had a near miss happen almost identically to this. locked up because of a stupid driver in the wet, but had enough space and time to get things back under control.

If it was me, I'd be kinda happy (in a decidedly pissed-off way) that it was someone else's fault. Nothing worse than coming off in twisties because you were going too quick, and having only yourself to blame....


What an ass.

Why is it that when people use the term "put a brew down" it annoys me? Kinda makes me cringe a little... I don't know why.

Why?
I guess it kind of like 'bash out a brew'. Sounds like it's a half arssed effort. But I use it often despite it's courseness.

Not happy that I'm stuck at home nothing to do, and can't bloody brew cause I can't lift anything with my left arm. Mind u I'm hobbling round also, so probably not the best idea anyway

It makes sense to me. You "put a brew down", which is good, but when things go wrong, you say you "stuffed up".
I mean "Stuffed down" sounds strange, innit???

Doug: I always wondered why they were called roofies. Cause you're more likely to end up on the floor than the roof. They should call em groundies.
Alan Garner: Or rapies

yeah I guess it just does sound a little half-arsed... reminds me of opening a can and pouring it down into a fermenter i think.

It's weird when something annoys me and i don't really know why.

See, if you had a BIAB set up with pulley system and march pump, drill for the mill, you'd be set. Go BIAB, so simple.

I think we should change AHB's name to - AAB (AUnt Agathur brewing)

Dear Aunt Aggie
I am writing with an issues that could easily (and more quickly) be answered by doing some research myself but have decided to ask a complete stranger...please help me...


Seriously. Do people think that half the topics they start haven't been asked before?! Faaark.

couldnt agree more. some times it seems like people need to consult the virtual 'table of knowledge' to verify that they have a question worthy of asking prior to posting. just in case they upset they noble members who deem it unbearable to answer the same question yet again. if you're not interstested or find it unnecessary to answer (yet again), then simply dont.

 

[brettprevans]

Yeah I'm sure that 'is finings fish guts' is about being excited about a first brew (not). I understand where ur coming from KT but i disagree. A lot of people go to the effort if tying good informative responses for people to use as reference now and in future and for it to be ignored is just a slap in the face. I checked my post stats today for interest sake. Over 700 in K&K thread alone providing advice etc. That's just me, plenty of others would be up there also. Even though I AG I dint neglect the K&K threads.

As for ur comment sunsettree. Gee really? Hence I posted in the OT thread and not in the threads I was complaining about. And what's with the 'nobel' crap.

Anyways got to go turn off the stirplate for the night. Some lovely Roselare growing.

Kegged the cider with brettC. Yum. Tart with an edge of fruit sweetness left. Missus even said it was the best I've done. And that was at room temp out of fermentor. Carbed and cold it should be great.

Interestingly I used some apple blackberry juice as well as apple juice. There seemed to bs a lot of colour left at the bottom of the fermentor with the yeast. I meaner looked like all the coloring had dropped out of the juice. Very odd looking. Anyways got a good amount of slurry that u can wash.

So should be carbed and ready for tge big brew day fellas

In 2005 we spent a week fishing around Melville Island - about 100 click's north of Darwin.
We met a few of the locals one day.
One of them noticed the torrent of sweat emitting from every pore of my body and the fact I appeared not to be coping very well.
He remarked 'Hey buddy, fucken black fella weather up ere eh? -ha ha!'
He was spot on.

Yesterday I felt very 'white fella' indeed..
