Hey!

[Terry Yager]

Just poppin' in to let y'all know I'm still alive. Still don't have a decent connection (the neighbors' fade in n out). Hoping to return soon full-time (more or less).

Hey Terry! Good to hear you are still around. We'll get some beers in!

 

[Lorne]

Holy cow - you're back !
What happened - the pub run out of beer ?

Still don't have a decent connection (the neighbors' fade in n out).

Heh, good technique. I've had to piggyback off the neighbors network before too.

Actually, Dave daBrewer didn't make any wheatwine this year. His bosses said it didn't sell worth a damn! Back to good ol' Dirty Bastard Ale for me!

Good to hear you're still alive!

 

[Mike Chambers]

hey, yeah haven't seen you around in some time. good to know you're alive and kickin'!

 

[Druid6900]

As always, my friend, it's good to hear that you're still, somewhat, alive

Best tell that neighbour to get the extended range antenna for that box, the cheap SOB.

Heya Terry....
Great to hear from you again!

Glad to hear you're still with us, Terry. Might want to "gift" your neighbor a new router, "I thought you might like this."

 

[Terry Yager]

Unfortunately, most of the folks in this trailer park can't even spell DSL, much less know how to get a router configured properly. Thank ghawd Sheila has a pretty nice setup, but I even lose her signal whenever some idjit parks their car between our places. How rude of them to want to use their own driveways!

Just attach this to your wireless card and stick it on top of your home.

But a good external antenna wouuld boost signal reception, unless you have a laptop without a PCI card.

 

[barythrin]

Actually, probably more practical and I would bet able to get past your dilemma would be a quick homebrew yagi setup. Directional antenna, on the bright side, if it doesn't work you still get to eat a can of pringles while you work. Dirty Bastard Ale, eh? I've had Arrogant Bastard ale but hadn't heard of that one.

Nice to see you around!

 

[Yzzerdd]

Just poking my head in to welcome you back, T. I don't post often anymore, but I still lurk in the background enough to see these posts.

Welcome! (back)

I've had Arrogant Bastard ale

Not a bad product, but as far as American IPAs go, I prefer 90-Minute IPA, from Dogfish Head Brewery, in Delaware (creators of "Liqueur d'Malt," also an excellent brew), but the closest place I can find it around here is down near Detroit (gotta go all the way to Indiana for the Arrogant, but still, I am worthy! (I do wonder sometimes though if I wouldn't be better off just drinking the gasoline directly instead)). DBA is still kinda local to MI, (Founder's Brewery, in Grand Rapids). It's a Scots, not as potent as some at 8.5 abv, nor terribly hoppy either (50 ibu), but nectar of the gods couldn't go down any smoother, and I can git it at Liquor King, right up on the corner, so my first choice these days, although I do still occasionally make the 14-mile round trip to Frankenmouth for a growler of Dave's Imperial Stout, but a lot less frequently now that I no longer drive (long story, but not involving a DUI this time).

Thanx, Jack, et.al. Nice to know I'm not forgotten.

[barythrin]

Forgotten?! Pfft.. you know we covet all our vintage things, even posters ;-) I'll have to keep an eye out for those assuming they're being "exported/imported" (never figured why these terms get used interstate).

 

[Terry Yager]

Dogfish Head ships...look for their webpage. Not sure about Founders.
