Future Pool Shark
Ella has been taking a real interest in pool lately. It is about time someone starting using the pool table for something other than to take eBay photo on!
Read MoreBeer is Flowing With New Lines
Took the tap system apart and tried to clean my lines. After looking at them I decided to just buy new ones. After work I went down to Midwest Brew Supply and picked up new hoses. Then swung over to the scuba shop to get gas. Then hit up Hyvee to get a keg of Boulsvard Pale Ale. Everything is hooked up and the brew is flowing again. Just in time for Thanksgiving company. Rob and I will drink the Pale Ale but Father In-law needs the cheap beer so I stocked up on that. BethAnn if you read this I drank all your beer you left here last week. I still need to pick up a few thing but The...
Read MoreBasement Pub Updates
I picked up some new speaker for the basement a few weeks ago. I have been so busy that I have not had a chance to put them in. I never had surround down in the pub so I pick up a Sony center and a set of front speakers to replace my Bose I have down there now. I still have my two rear speakers in place. Those are Sony as well. I am not a Sony fan at all but the price was right for what I needed. Here is a photo of the two front and center channel.

Read MoreSaturday Night Fight Night
Saturday night we watched the fight in HD. It was not the best HD picture since they compress it a lot but it was not too bad. The sound did cut out a few times but for the most part it was great. The slow motion was pretty incredible when they showed it. Ryan, Carter, BethAnn, Lili and Justin all stopped by and we had a few from the freshly tapped Fat Tire keg. Boy is it good coming out of the keg. Hatton put on a good show but Mayweather was just too much in the last few rounds. I sure hope they have a rematch but this time in England. Thanks to everyone that showed up. We will have...
Read MoreToshiba HD-A3 & 10 HD-DVDs
Amazon had a deal last week. A Toshiba HD-A3 and 10 HD-DVDs. Now 10 HD-DVDs would cost a minimum of $200 so when the final price was $197.21 delivered to my door with two day shipping I could not resist myself much to Terra’s dismay. The deal was the player that came with 300 and The Bourn Idenity. Then I got to pick three more as I checked out. I picked The Big Lebowski, The Last Starfighter, and Casino. Then with a rebate I got to pick 5 more. I picked out The Hulk, Babel, Full Metal Jacket, U2: Rattle and Hum, and Troy. All good movie in my book. So here is some geek porn...
