Koko vanilla banana.... I am sure there is a market, my wife who does not like beer would probably very much enjoy it. Me, not so much. Just not my cup of tea. Although at almost 12% it could help get the party started.

Master of Puppets. Reminds me of the original Pineapple Skulpin from around 2013. One of my all time favorites. Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams Blinded by me, you can't see a thing Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream Master, master

Blood Will Flow II, fruity (like many of today's offerings) with a hint of citrus. But not too fruity and sweet. Hits you like a frieght train. Worth a second try for sure. Me likes. Restless Dreams, not fruity but hoppy. Not bitter hoppy. More of a "classic" IPA. Not the freight train but just right for relaxing. Me definitely likes. Koko chocolate peanut... Wow. Wow. Wow. Can't type, must consume.

Yup. Had fiberglass fall into my eyes a few times. Squint harder BWI? If I have not left for the meet yet, perhaps I can assist.

Wife asked if I wanted a party. Cor the past 5 years I work from home and have made few aquiantences locally since relocating. All my "friends" are 2500 miles away. I had a BBQ for my b-day prior to leaving Cali. That was the last time I had the "boys" together. It's another day, I am good. Mary can't wait to decorate. Lol. Masks are for Covid, no? I have never worn a mask. Or much safety gear for that matter. My body bares the scars. Never wanted to live forever, just hope the end is not a prolonged illness. Do as I say, not as I do. I am a poor leader by example when it comes to taking care of yourself.

Labor of love progress. The ceiling is almost complete. What a joy cutting/fitting all those angles. Framed in the sides of the 3 gables and insulted. Can now mount panel over the gable ends. All work done with a single 23 year old Ryobi circular saw, a 10 year old B&D jig saw, a 20 year old Makita chop saw and a Harbor Freight straight edge. All nails hammered by hand. Staple gun is a 10 year old manual variety. One battery drill used to hold panels for fitting, then screw removed and nailed in place. One four foot aluminum extension ladder (12ft lid, so all work is truly overhead). No power within 300 ft, so all lumber cut and carried by hand to the shed. Used a bread knife to cut insulation. I turn 50 in June. Feel like I have not worked this hard since the shop.

2 Car Garage - Thoughts on layout...
m sprank replied to KZJonny's topic in Garage and Tools - what are your plans?
Inspectors lag here too. -
Took me 3.5 hours. but... Got skills. 4x8 ft sheet and a half to the vaulted ceiling with zero assistance. Yes, age and treachery trump youth and enthusiasm once again. Guaranteed it was not osha approved, but osha was not on-site.

Congrats on the new business! Yes sir. Standard is 48" when a standard lid is used. I had to research for the proper use with cathedral ceiling. I had to make eave baffles with 1" foam too and seal those with expanding foam. So air can only go up the vents. We routinely have winds over 40mph so it's code to seal for blow through. R-11 floors, R-13 walls, R-15 ceiling. OSB for wall and ceiling panel. She wants flooring too. Gonna rent it out as an ADU when she graduates to recover the costs, LOL.

Rafter vents. Vented eaves through rafter vents to vented ridge. Going to be cathedral ceilings. This should allow ventilation and reduce the risk of condensation as there will be no attic. I actually permitted my project. Doing it by the book.

Construction manual labor. Guess I am not 16 anymore. Slower but like the tortoise I keep moving. Gives me new respect for @KZJonny and his garage build. Interior build out progress on the She Shed. Gonna need that week at Finger Lakes to recover.

I have launched my fair share of aluminum across tracks, roads and parking lots. Lol. Shot piston and valves out the exhaust pipe once too. Who knew it was "battle" race day. Shrapnel in your face. I was racing desert on a quad. Launched a piton right through the block, through the fender (not the hood and it was a Toyota 4 banger), across the street throwing sparks as it skipped. Frigging fireworks. Pedestrians were scambling. Had a crank separate and open an exit in the block. Never found the other half that crank???? Had 5th gear cut through the housing like a band saw. Watched the gear exit from the rear view. Actually got her into 2nd and finished with one gear, no oil and no engine or trans left. I have more too. I pay to play.
