Let’s home brew an awesome beer! (Coopers Lager kit)

September 10, 2024August 31, 2024 by Almigo

If you missed the amazing news from yesterday, I’m now the proud owner of a new smoker and now a DIY Beer Coopers Lager kit! Yes indeed I’m truly strapped in for one ripper of a fathers day with future thoughts of smoked meats matched perfectly with copious amounts (23 litres when all said and done) of beer from the shed.

We’ve still got to bolt together the smoker but while I waited for my wife to finish work, I figured it was the perfect time to put this kit through it’s paces. After all I’ve already unboxed the whole kit and caboodle, now it’s time for all the ingredients of this Lovely Donna Lager (named after the wonderful woman who bought me the Coopers lager kit of course!) to come together in one foamy contained wonderful mess.

Let’s get mixing Brewmaster Flex!

Smoker em if you got em!

I’ll be honest, I’m not sure who’s more excited about Fathers Day coming up – me or the kids, who seem just about at bursting point to give me their presents crafted from school and shopping with mum.
But then last night I found out early that we’re getting a new addition to the family…a Jumbuck smoker from Bunnings Warehouse – so now my excitement levels are insanely peaking as well, so…

Influenza A – down with a sickness

There’s the general rough feeling of suffering through Influenza A, then there’s Influenza A deciding that it wants to put your asthma in a wrestling sleeper hold.

Guess which one I copped last week with both barrels?

Can we please bring back the stock exchange bar concept?

August 14, 2024August 13, 2024 by Almigo

After ponying up $25 for a beer and a hard solo for my far better half over the weekend, I’m reminded about why I don’t go out and drink anymore.

Maybe if every pub and venue incorporated the stock exchange bar system that used to be in Melbourne back in the day, I’d be far more inclined to venture out and sample the night life a little more. Because in 2024 there’s so much more I prefer to buy for $25 than a schooner of German Ale and an alcoholic lemon thing..

Throne of Darkness – 1 dead wizard walking

September 5, 2024August 8, 2024 by Almigo

No no, not Game of Thrones, Throne of Darkness. The Japanese theme role playing game on PC from 2001. Where you control a Samurai clan seeking revenge, laying waste to rival clans and plenty of denizens of the underworld, like mad monks and angry turtles that don’t actually eat pizza.

And while you’re doing that, you’re also trying your darnedest to keep your idiotic wizard alive. Because before you have a chance to yell ‘Zap that critter Wizboy!’ he’s died again and suddenly you’re finding yourself shifting him back to base HQ where he’s already had more resurrections than Wyle-E-Coyote.

Bits N Pizzas 005 – Let the Domino’s fall

empty Domino's pizza boxes in the green waste bin

This week it’s all about a terrible X files album, marketplace clowns and how we’ve decided not to be burnt by Domino’s pizza ever again.

Albury Wodonga – no more servos please

July 25, 2024July 24, 2024 by Almigo

There’s the town of Albury, there’s the town of Wodonga. Between the two is the lovely stretch of road called the Lincoln Causeway and currently there’s a spot to put something exciting on it.

But decision makers of Albury Wodonga, please read my words and heed my call. Whatever you decide, please don’t plonk another petrol service station there. Because unlike my car ~~currently~~ ever, I think we’re full up at the moment.
