Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

My son's intrasquad scrimmage for the golf team was cancelled due to course conditions--the rain is heavy enough there's standing water on the greens. 

That means he can drive his siblings home from school and I can focus on work instead of taking over an hour out of my work day to get them. 

I'm sure he doesn't even mind, because golf in this much rain is kinda miserable anyway. 

Home early is good.  I can tell this conference is really cutting into your posting time on the music threads in the B12 forum and that's a shame.

That's a lot of extra rounds of golf this year, potentially.  

 One Robin showed up a few weeks back and it must be off spring of an offspring from the succession of seasons of Robins that I took to feeding.Any way he arrived when there 8-9-10 inches of snow so no way of getting to ground forage and it was slim pickins on all the bushes,shrubs hedges and such. So i started chopping up raisins,prunes,apricots,cherries and other assorted dried fruits. They have a distinct cluck and I hear but can't quite see him until he emerges from trees/underbrush behind the house. So he knows where to grab some snacks during the ugly weather. Another 6 weeks I'm sure his extended family will be back. He's agrateful little bastard always clucks like "hey thanx" when i walk away 😎

That should should be federal statute right there with maternity leave,what the hell,WHAT THE HELL

On my brewing rig, I have one ball valve that has always given me fits. It was one of the earliest produced by the company that builds brew rigs. I knew the guy who started the company, as he was part of my homebrew club, and I actually bought this rig secondhand from one of the other guys in the club who had brewed on it for a few years. 

The annoyance for me was that the size of the tri-clover clamp fittings holding it to a kettle and to the tubing I needed to attach it to was a little "chunky" because of the early production runs. I'd have to fight it constantly to get it put together, trying to hold three things in place with two hands lol. 

And then on top of that, when I came back from my brewing hiatus last year... It had developed a bit of a leak problem. 

So I ordered a new one. It's got a wider internal diameter which should help flow rate (important for the wort cooling process), and it's built properly. So I just set up my rig to brew a hefeweizen, and the tri-clover clamps went together like a dream. 

Oh, and because I kegged my schwarzbier a few weeks ago rather than doing it during brew day to free up the fermenter, I don't have to keg anything during my brew day today. So that's a couple of process and cleaning and other steps I can skip. 

Happy.
