If I was an elephant and someone was making a loud noise that I didn't like, then I would cover them up with straw. I dunno, I had a couple of glasses of mead and I feel good.

This morning I took the time to retune my drums. I also cut out a new foam pad to muffle my bass drum. Thank you S1ren for the foam padding. After I tuned them, they sounded a whole lot better. I think I had them too high pitched. Oh well. I also went to Guitar Center and bought a new ride cymbal by Sabian. It totally rocks. I'm not sure what to do with my old ride, but I remember a buddy of mine possibly wanting it to do some sort of metal artwork with it.

Just got home a little while ago from the manager's Christmas party for my store. We did the whole white elephant gift exchange thing and I just happened to pick out a UT coffee mug. I thought to myself why don't people just buy alcohol because that's the most popular thing at the office gift exchange. Especially in the grocery business. I dunno. It's a nice sized mug so hey I can work with this.

I went to see my mom for a couple of days. It was great to talk to her and see how she's doing. She is still having a couple problems from her thyroid surgery, but I know she'll get them sorted out. My cats are happy to see me. Thank you so much s1ren for taking care of them. You rock. Nothing else really is happening. I talked to my old friend Jim for a little bit today and tonight my buddy Jerome and I are going to jam on a couple of songs. :)

I reprimed the beer I had made a couple of months ago because it was somewhat flat when I tasted it.  Basically you just put a little corn sugar in the beer and that reacts with the residual yeast to make the bubbles.  DAMN does it react.  I lost one beer because I didn't know what to expect.  It started bubbling over like mad.  It doesn't play around at all.  LOL  I primed the rest of the bottles and they are going to sit for a couple more weeks and I will try them again.

Last night I bottled up some more mead and I used my new floor corker for the first time.  All I can say is OMFG.  It totally rocked.  That floor corker was worth the money.  It saved me so much time and kept me from hurting the next day.  When I would use my old corker, I would stress my back and elbows because of the motion used to operate my other corker.  I am very pleased with my new toy.   :)
