The Pub / New ways to justify a keg fridge

« on: August 19, 2011, 12:07:04 pm »

Honey!  It's an emergency backup freezer!   

Yesterday we discovered one of the kids (assuming one of the kids) left the door of our 26cf upright freezer open a little bit.  By the time we found it $1000 of meat and veggies was half thawed.  I just got done pulling all the kegs and dropping the keg freezer back to 0 deg.  My son and I just moved half the beef to the chest freezer to make the big one cool faster.

At least the big freezer is starting to cool down again.

The Pub / May 21 - What are you planning ot do?

« on: May 20, 2011, 01:41:45 pm »

Somebody has to ask this question.

I'm pretty sure, one way or another, I'll be here come May 22nd.  I'll be cleaning my Mom's house before she moves to a retirement community in Omaha.  8^)

If the rapture actually happens... what will you be doing on Sunday?

I personally will be arming up and getting ready for some gun play.
