I had a rather interesting milk shake at a place called Rudy's Can't Fail in the bay area. It was a chocolate and espresso shake with Guinness extra stout in it. It was very tasty. Guinness and chocolate go rather well together.

I would have never considered it, but since you've given it your endorsement, if I'm ever in the bay area, I'll have to take a look for that place and try one.

I'm not sure if you have a taste for guinness but it's not a very strong taste in the milkshake.
I also found a recipe for brownies made with Guinness once that I still want to try.
Mmmm... Guinness.. :-p

Yes, I have a taste for Guinness. Actually, I want more than a taste. The whole pint would be more like it (darn, brewnog must be serving again if all we're getting are these thimblefuls at a time). :approve:

If you find that recipe, PM it to me.

I'd look for it now but I have to get going in just a minute or two.
I found it on the Godiva website.

Oooh, on the Godiva site, then it has to be good! :approve: Okay, I can just look for it there myself if that's where it is.

I see you left out one ingredient. :-p Now you're talking about a way to raise money (pot flavored suckers aren't selling well?).

Hmmmm... I think the pirates would probably fair much better selling that sort of thing, considering that they have those ships transporting, who knows what, from foreign countries and a lack of care for laws and all. :devil:

You know, I can't find anywhere near by around here to buy Godiva chocolate. Not even the Vons Pavilions has it. :confused:
I'm sure if I really looked hard enough I could possibly find it somewhere.


And Brewnog, I'm not sure what sorts of exotic ingredients Moonie here may be wantin' but after that plank walkin incident I'm none to sure she wants to be abuyin through the likes of you. :devil: :-p

One of the malls here has a Godiva store. :biggrin: It's a good thing the stuff is expensive or I'd never be able to restrain myself in there. When I go to that mall, I stop at the coffee shop for coffee, then head up to the Godiva store for two pieces of chocolate (two means I can eat one while walking out of the store and get far enough away by the time I eat the second to stop me from running back in for more :biggrin:). Though, they also opened a Cheesecake Factory there, so now it's REALLY hard deciding whether to get chocolate or cheesecake. Why couldn't they spread the good stuff out among a few different malls?

Darn right! If I have any need for smuggling, it's Danger's Pirate Squadron I'll be contacting. :approve:

How I spent the 4th of July.

Gardening - expanded, weeded, and mulched the upper garden. Tomatoes and hot peppers (jalapeños and cayenne are just now coming in, and kung pao is still not flowering - recent addition :biggrin: ).

Finished the wife's herb garden - mixed in a couple of hundred pounds of organic material - top soil, manure and peat moss.

Dropped a 35 ft (10.5 m) tree, which was dead. Drop it just about where I wanted - top within three feet. I took too much off one side and the three twisted on the way down since the mass of branches was lopsided, and it had two trunks starting about halfway up. I hacked (with my pick) at the main trunk (halfway through the trunk) about 7 ft (2.5 m) from the ground so as not to drop the whole thing, otherwise the top would go where I was planning to put the shed. I then cut through to 2/3s of the trunk with a pruning. The tree was leaning slightly in the opposite direction that I wanted to drop it, so I used a 12 ft ladder on the side I was cutting to brace it. Then I used the ladder to push the tree over.

Way back when I was in university, as an alternative to being a scientist/engineer, I considered going to Alaska to be a lumberjack/fisherman or somewhere in the Pamirs/Himalayas to be a hermit/monk. Needless to say, I became an engineer. :rolleyes:

Finally moved the shed. :biggrin: I put it on a tarp (plastic/fiber tarpaulin) and dragged (by myself) the shed about 50 feet (15 m) from the side of property to a place slightly up hill (3-4 ft, 1-1.3 m elevation) in the back yard.

As Maxwell Smart would say - I loved every minute of it. :biggrin:

My Fourth..

I sat here at work and played on PF.
Did something stupid.
Decided to do something else that was stupid.
Wound up doing a third stupid thing.
Regret it today.
Fortunately none of it was THAT stupid.

Oh well, life goes on.

Do you know tribdog? :biggrin: :smile:

I know of Tribdog. Were I drinking with him last night I doubt that two of those stupid things would have happened though. :redface:

So how was your fourth Moonie?

Yes, that one's okay. :biggrin:

I went to my friends' house for an afternoon BBQ and swimming. They live out in the middle of nowhere with 5 acres of wooded property, so it's nice and quiet out there...well, except for the three children. But they were okay too. Then came home and watched the neighborhood fireworks displays (people around here are crazy with the stuff they were setting off in backyards around so many houses!) Once I was sure none of them were being set off by anyone close enough that the fallout would hit my house, I got online while sitting on the deck watching (though some got pretty loud at the end). It was a nice relaxing day for a change. :smile:

Hmmm... I was a bit edgy that night at work. It's not a very nice neighborhood and people all around were setting off firecrackers. I kept worrying about people shooting off guns and where the bullets might land.

If you don't mind my asking, what sort of work do you do that you were stuck working on the 4th, and at night no less?

College campus security, swing shift. The campus was pretty much closed but we have dorms and the dorm students are still here. Also plenty of expensive equipment in the computer labs. So we're here 24/7, 365 days a year.

I don't really think I need to police this crowd, except for maybe when the pirates drop in. Moonie wasn't too thrilled with being made to walk the plank and she can hold a grudge. :biggrin:

sorry to bother you but where is Arctic Fox?

Sorry Lisa, I don't really see him around very often. I'm not sure.

Oh, that's right, you told us that once before. I just forgot.
