I feel like I'm going to owe you a beer by the time I finish this!

I took the pickup switch apart to see if contacts weren't touching...no wonder it was crackling and had bad spots.

Awesome!  You know that may work, I hadn't seen that one!  Thanks

I have an old Memphis guitar (random Korean brand from the 80s) that I'm in the middle of rebuilding.  I had originally planned to replace all the pots and switches, but I've ran into a problem with the pickup switch.  I can't find a 5-way Switch that will fit properly.  It's shorter than a...

As far as I know, heat doesn't bother a beer (unless it's extreme).  The fermentation is done and nothing is really left to react.  Light can definitely affect it from what I hear.  I actually prefer warm beer a lot of times, unless its a piss lager.

Thanks guys.  I'm gonna keep working on this, but I'm starting to think I might have to get some shipped to Missouri if I go down next year.  I guess that's what I get for trying to brew a craft clone.  Anyway, wish us luck!  First all grain attempt to be started in a week...

So, here's the lowdown.  A friend and I are doing homebrew batches of Surly Bender and Cynic...but have never actually tasted either beer.  I'm currently tracking down someone in the Twin Cities area to try and send out a couple cans of each up here to Canada so we can do a comparison, but...

The reboots were due to happen...seems to be every 20-30 years with DC.  My problem with Grant Morrison is that if you don't read everything he's writing, some stuff doesn't make sense in a story...but maybe that's just me? Swamp Thing...yes.  That's one I want to get back into!

Glad to hear you went with the Asus - great damn machines.  You should have the 2 year warranty with that guy.  Register with Asus when you get it so you can get your first year accidental damage claim.  There's something so satisfying about new computer day...

It's a rolly one, but not a huge Snap-On beach box or anything...but it's nice being able to find my torque wrench in a cabinet instead of "well...I usually keep it on that old oil bucket..." With the uke, what kind of pickups do you use with that?  I'm way too interested in this...

New tools kick ass!  My recent purchase was a 7 drawer chest...I needed a place for here said tools.  I can't wait for this uke project...

Happy birthday man!  These sound killer! Saki? 

Drifting is hella cool to watch.  Those guys have insane control over those cars...some of them use a drift unit to help with traction, but even then, it takes skill to do it.  I'm more of a monster truck guy myself right now...running an old .15 T-Maxx, and last year stepped up to a Traxxas...

That's damn cool!  Like +1!

That's a nice case!  Looks like cable management will be a snap.  I went with the Coolermaster CM-690 on my new build, cable management is...ok.  Loving the bottom PSU mounts that everybody's going to.
