nw baltimore wx Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 It’s taken nearly two years, but it’s done! Need to put the fancy labels on, then I’ll test, clean equipment, and finally brew again! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Damn...that's pretty sweet. I just have a burner and a bag. BIAB is just too easy, and I make a damn fine beer, if I do say so myself! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't making bathtub gin that only tastes good when filtered thru an old gym sock so I'm sure yours is decent. If i made my own beer it would probably be like this 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that. It doesn't take anything fancy to make good homebrew these days. At the next get-together, the homebrewers should bring samples to share. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both drivers are being indicted on felony negligent manslaughter, six counts of death of a vulnerable person, and numerous traffic violations, aggressive driving, speeding and driving while impaired. So many times while driving I see stuff and wonder "is that person drunk?" even though its 11AM on a Tuesday.. Maybe I'm not so far off! Although they said "impaired" so I wonder if it was weed/drugs and not alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An article I read said the male driver, who was arrested, had a dash camera. He reached speeds of 122mph prior to the crash and was going 111mph when the female driver crossed into his lane and hit him before she lost control into the construction zone. Both are being charged for the same things, with the female driver having the additional impaired driving charge. The male's family made quite a ruckus in court, claiming he did nothing wrong and shouldn't be charged with manslaughter, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving 120 mph on the beltway and being involved in an accident that takes 6 innocent lives, and then declaring that you understand the charges but not why you're being charged is criminal in itself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The male is only 20 years old, and he's got 27 charges against him this morning. Family said he's a good kid, never been in trouble with the law before, yadda yadda yadda. But how do you defend him when he was driving like that? It's mind boggling. I would be the first to send my kid to jail if she ever pulled that kind of reckless shit. Obviously the female was in the wrong as well, also speeding and high on something, but his actions of speed racing on the beltway, flying up in that lane when she tried to change lanes, is what lead to the horrific accident to begin with. You can't absolve him of any wrongdoing when he was clearly doing something wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Lots of teams are cancelling swim practice (and at least one pool just decided to close for the day). Looks like it'll clear up a bit after school lets out, so we're planning to make a call at about 3:00. Figure we'll plan for light practices anyway, even if it does clear up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an ice truck coming today so closing the pool would kinda suck. Kids come first tho. Closing for smoke at least is more valid than when our guards close for fake storms thats just airplanes taking off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 @MillvilleWx just saw you post in May Banter. Replied but am letting you know here as it is a new month. Sorry have had a lot going on and am loosing track of the days and time lately. But I can answer any questions about Frederick for you. Have lived here for over 20 years and am a transplant from OH. I live on the SW side south of 70 and West of 270 in the Ballanger Creek area. About 10 min from downtown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Did Career Day at my kid’s school today, got to talk nerdy about maps. 4th graders are some sassy kids hahaha. Had them help me “finish” a map by guessing what elements were missing (title, legend, scale bar, etc.) and after they were done I thanked them for helping me finish my map and one of them says “it was already done though because you had to add those elements we couldn’t see” lololol I was also called pretty which made my day 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She loved that I was there! And yes the talking about maps was fun. I did touch upon GIS a little, very broad overview of using spatial information to make pretty pictures hahaha. Mostly I focused on maps as a whole, how you can map anything and then what courses and things I learned to get me to my big girl job. I thought it went really well! I am soaking up every minute she lets me be around because I know it will end eventually. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
