Brewed my Alaskan amber clone

Woke up around 3pm. Drank a bunch of coffee. Now going to go plop down on the couch and watch movies until I rejoin the ranks of the living.

Another night of hookin' for meth?

Brewed my Alaskan amber clone

I thought the official beer of Fairbanks was Olympia.

Posted like a mother fucker over there.

Couldn't get Oly when I lived in fairbanks. I think it's now natural light. But alaskan amber is a damn good beer, and it don't make it to the east coast, so I have to brew it. if I could buy it in kegs here, I wouldn't bother brewing it

Another night of hookin' for meth?

Pretty much.

Breakfast, soccer practice, karate belt test, lunch, birthday party, play date, dinner, whisky, oblivion.

what belt are you now?

Started my daughter's driving lessons today. Somehow between a Drano enema, chainsaw lobotomy, a red hot fireplace poker root canal, or driving lessons with my daughter, I think it would be a coin toss.

well last night was pretty interesting, went and drank in the dorms with some of my friends and i guess we pissed some people off because the hall director ended up having to escort us out because of noise complaints or some bullshit. i think i got a referral as well. it was a saturday night and we definitely were not the only ones on that floor partying it up, lol whatever.

Got up at 5:30am and went out to help out at my clubs local bike race that I wasn't competing in. On my return home I went out in the back yard and took a careful look at our black walnut tree to find several large dead branches that will need to be taken down. Hopfully this is cheaper than the last $2000 pruning 2 years ago but I seriously doubt it. All the stuff is over neighbors yards so the dick in me wants to ask them to pay for it but that doesn't feel right.

Looks like our $300/yr of ground injected tree fertilizer is worth shit. For all I know the they didn't even do the tree in the back as the one in the front is doing great and they sort of did the job guerrilla style and I wasn't there to supervise in the fall. Man I hope this tree doesn't die under our watch it will be a gigantically costly PITA to remove.

Gas is only about $2.50/gallon.

Oh yeah, Montana rules don't apply, do they?

Got to know my new lathe a little bit better and finished roughing out a set of cups for a friend. The two primary outer and inner diameters are within .005", not bad for wood. I've done a grand total of 5 minutes of sanding on these, they should finish up pretty nicely. Next stop, aluminum...

looking good nate

Woke up at about 7:35am and visited a few forums. Afterward went for my morning walk with the wife and then went for breakfast at a local restaurant down the street. Then off to buy some "stuff" to unclog an slow draining shower, finally to a music store to buy a few Cd's.

Mmmm, Wenge! Looking exceptionally nice Nate!

I think the fine would be more than getting the tree removed

I believe that's African Palisander

I'm planning on doing DIY videos in a bit and posting them... I figured if I loose a digit, perhaps I can enlist royalties from Faces of Death Part 25. I'd love to see you have a go at the metal cups. How do you plan to remove the center material out?

Don't question Dr. Wood, it's Wenge.

I've got a little Flip HD so I'll see about setting it up in the shop and capturing the madness when I put tool to metal. As far as removing the center material is concerned the tail stock of the lathe has a drill chuck so I'll simply drill a pilot hole and then go to work with the boring tool just like I did with the wood. My rate and depth of cut will probably be slower but otherwise I think the technique will be the same. Working with the Al really shouldn't be any more difficult than wood, or so I'm told, and it went really well with this first set. (famous last words)

Wenge is an awesome word. Those cups look tits, Nate.

Flew to Virginia to head up Biggie's legal defense team over the impending $30 lawsuit.

Oh no he di'nt!

Thanks Nate, the nerve of some bitches.

Actually Marc, African Palisander is East Indian Rosewood. Another of my favorite dark woods, but it has a very smooth grain, as opposed to the grainy textured Wenge. Good guess though.

Nice work Nate. I used to have a set of custom grips made out of wenge for my Norinco 45 and they were beautiful. As a fool I sold them.
