Home Brewing Kit

I have decided to try my hand at home brewing a beer for myself. there are no Local home brewing shops in my county so its online for me. Otherwise its a 100 mile round trip, sod that i can get delivered for fiver.

Ordered a BrewSmarter Premium Starter Beer Kit with is the bottler and heater belt and a 33lt fermenter & Coopers Canadian Blonde kit as a upgrade. Got the Brewing sugar as recommended and the Coopers Carbonation drops. Also got various paddles and a capper for glass bottle then bought 2 packs of Coopers Ox-Bar 500ml PET bottles as they are supposed to keep the beer good for longer with a special coating.

Scam Email Tracing cause I'm bored

Lets see, I get a bunch of spamtastic crap emails regularly and more recently they all carry viruses which is annoying to hell and back. But at least they are blocked.

1:
Claims to be Mrs. Catherine Windy from South Africa. Nigeria specifically :).
Originating-IP: 121.12.152.3 or Guangzhou, China or about 6930 miles from where she claims to be. Also like to mention "GOD" a lot in all caps.
Money: $12 million

2:
Claims to be: Bank of America Corporation
from Houston, Texas, 77002 about 4 of these
looking for account details for a account I don't have.


3:
another money scam
Claims to be Barr Wilson Matata attorney
sent via an Austrailian Email server with a french email account but is from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. otherwise know as never heard of it.
Money $11 million this time.

4: AOL account
Sydney, Australia actually from Slovenia and another from San Antonio, Texas 78229.
Looking for Billing information for a AOL account I don't have, I don't even like AOL, The CDs I used to have were turned into room decorations for sister and Frisbee's.

5: Twitter messages
Russian emails from Conshohocken, Pennsylvania
Claiming I have 2 messages except I dont have twithead acount.
Punched the real address hosehead.org into url site and it came up with malware, which was obvious. Status bar that displays the real url of something is a good thing.
Anyway what would I twit about, Took a big crap and blocked the tiolet, now more depresed than ever, massive migraine?

Nike 6.0 Competition Stuff


The T-shirts and shoes finally showed up from Nike. The delivery was by DHL and you have to practically guide them by the hand to find you or go meet them some place, haven't they heard of GPS?
Got the 5 T-shirts as above, 3 of them XXL and ok looking. The other 2 are Large and one has a give it away pattern.
Shoes are sizes 8 and 12.5, this after having asked for 7 and 10 for my sister and brother. Sneaker/trainer shoes are really not my thing and I suffer from wide feet so the 12.5 was tight across the foot. Still someone of my family should be able to wear it, the "Grande Purple" Air morgans may be harder to find a owner. The 12.5 is a "Zoom Oncore 2" both apparently quite good shoes.
Nice to actually win stuff for once, still would have been nicer to have gone to France. No amount of big cleavage cousins is going to improve that.

Nike 6.0 Round House Winner!


I am the Nike 6.0 Round House Winner or rather was, as I had the unfortunately give it up! The competition was entered on a chance more than anything else and I get the email saying I am the Nike 6.0 Round House Winner!. Unfortunately the email had gone in the junk section so I find it a day late and it did not help I had a big family dinner to go to. So was too busy and too broke to go. This is exactly the sort of thing that is annoying as hell. You get a nice chance to leave the country have a bit of a break and possible find some loose women. Then the reality of big family life rears its head and no fun for me is what happens.

Was promised some shoes and t-shits as some for of compensation by them so I should get something for it all.

Broken Revolver!

My precious revolver is broke! And not by me, mind you. it was done by my brothers girlfriend. I'm busy making stuff and digging mud and she asked to fire a few shots along with my sister. I think this should be OK, but no. I hear shots being fired and then they don't fire and go inside. I think they are finished and have but it back in the box. Oh its back in the box alright. The pin for withdrawing the magazine is loose really loose. The reason its really loose is the damm thing has come apart and been screwed up minus an important part. A really small blasted spring, no idea how long it is just know its about 2mm diameter and a compression spring. Without it the revolver will not stay in place right and won't rotate right so it cant shoot right = AARGH!

The Revolver I has it

My revolver finally showed up, It looks very nice being a 8" long barrel. what the hell would you being doing with a 2" anyway. Not so great is fact its a .20 airsoft rather than a .357, now that would have some lovely weight.

Biggest problem is the revolver is BLACK! for fuck sake! I ordered as CHROME one the picture was CHROME but the dammed sites order code turns out to be for the black gun. No mention of this very important fact in the site or emails or has it changed since I emailed them, No reply to my emails about this fact either!
