Just ordered 3 more boxes of 2012 Draft and one box of 2011 Draft. Don't know when I'll get to open them though since I'm having them shipped home, and not to school here. I may have to make a special trip home this weekend to pick them up, and show my family my car. I was able to come home, which was about 420-435 miles with $39 in gas. I wasn't complaining one bit when I went to put gas in it this morning

eh, i'll own one eventually lol

he's pretty good for being "average"

eh, i disagree. yes he stepped up but i dont think he is a top 10 or hell even top 15 QB in the NFL. Im just afraid theyre going to pay him for this super bowl performance and not how he usually plays.

Good afternoon, all!

Happy today for two reasons:

1.) A fellow University of Delaware (Go Blue Hens!!) alumnus won Super Bowl MVP!

2.) Learned this morning that 2011 Mike Trout base cards were going for much, much more than I woulda thought. Looked in a few boxes and found 5 Topps Update RCs and 1 Bowman Chrome. Nice lil surprise.

Off to the Post Office to drop off a submission to Beckett. 118 items, I must be crazy. Especially when I ran the numbers.::facepalm::

Good afternoon all!
Got out of class a little early due to we're down to 1 1/2 days left.
Decided to make one final trip to the LCS that's been so good to me since I've been here.
They had a 50% off Super Bowl Monday sale on all their singles so I picked up this '59 Musial for $25.00.

Looks better in person but my scanner is at home.

I had $40.00 in store credit and used it to buy 7 packs of 2012 Bowman Chrome.
5 packs in I saw red and pulled this:

Mark Trumbo Red Refractor.
Shame it wasn't another Angel with the initials M.T. but I won't be picky for my first red refractor pull.

Good afternoon gents! Busy day off and finished a round of errands. Also won a BOOM! of a card via best offer this morning too

something for the HOF PC and will be the biggest HOF autograph I will have in the collection.

Also...a few pics from the final bottling of beer:

Final hydrometer reading looking good at around 4.5% alcohol per volume:

Siphoning from the fermenter into the bottling bucket:

The finished bottles:

And now the final wait begins. In two weeks I will test the first bottle for carbonation and depending on the test it will either be ready or another week or two wait.

Alex (Herr Brewmeister) That looks awesome!!! Are you going to experiment with flavoring once you get the process down?

Agreed! Terrific pictures and chronicling of the process.

Dave - great day at the LCS! Musial looks great and congrats on the Red/5!

I dont hate him, i actually dont mind him. Im just saying that he is going to get paid elite QB money when he shouldnt.

MojoDan · Feb 4, 2013

Dangit Alex! I told you that when my wife saw your kitchen she would start talking remodel...

MojoDan · Feb 4, 2013

A big THANK YOU to GC for the Ted Williams die cut card and to Ralph for the regular/jalapeño.

@hoopster3977 !! Man, this jerky... this jerky.. Wow. I can't stop eating it.. I chewed through the sealed bag to get to it and haven't stopped chewing since.

Thanks Dave!!! Yeah, considering how this one turns out I think I am going to try a clone recipe of either Blue Moon or Shock Top and then will do what I can flavoring wise after that. I'm more prone to doing something that would pair well with a lemon or an orange versus an all out flavor additive.

Thanks Bud! Was a fun process all the way so I hope the end result is at least somewhat satisfying hahaha!

Thanks E! Hopefully the flavor is just as NIIIIICE

Hahaha! Thanks for the compliment

It was all just surface and tiling so it was easy on the wallet

Have fun yourself and hopefully this is more of an inspiration versus a complaint LOL!
