Now, the transfer is done! I am drinking a Budbrewski!

budbrewski Now, the transfer is done! I am drinking a Budbrewski!I know that many people, who have done host transfers, may be wondering what all the fuss is about, I’ll explain. I have several domains, each with many layers, many problems you can say, but, it is all done now!

I will be back to my regular reporting on anything I can find about beer! Tonight, I have to do a follow up to the Keystone Light post The main thing I have to say is, if you like beer, not just the expensive stuff, but all beer, you have to have a baseline or benchmark to go from, and personally, for regular beer, it is Budbrewski for me! Since my break, the keystone post, I haven’t had a beer! Tragic I know! However, after it is all done, except for the fine tuning, I wanted to have a beer! Remember, keystone is the norm here, I wanted a bud, and comparing the two is a bit like chalk and cheese! They start out the same, but finish much different.

When drinking the Keystone, I had this overwhelmingly stupid feeling, my brain was out of order, yes, gettin drunk does that, but I barely had a buzz! After drinking just 6 of my Budbrewski’s, I had mor of a buzz, but don’t have that cloud in my head! Hmm, for $3.24 a twelve-pack difference, I will buy the Bud!

I still have some work to do, and guess what, I can do it, even on my “vacation”, I know this, once I get my hands on some Arrogant Bastard, I will appreciate it even more!

Transfer from Yahoo to Hostmonster almost complete!

February 08, 2008 By: CarpetGuy Category: News and Announcements 1 Comment →

celebration Transfer from Yahoo to Hostmonster almost complete!If you have visited this blog in the last week or so, you may have noticed that there just wasn’t much happening, I am soory about that, but it is due to many things, mostly preparations for the move from Yahoo to Hostmonster.

I have been paying $526.20yr for my hosting, but once I get everything switched to HostMonster, it will only be $125.40! Better Service at a Better Price! I love it!

I do want to say this, when I first signed up with Yahoo, it was perfect, and for anybody that has zero knowledge on web-design, or only wants a simple site, Yahoo is perfect! But, once you learn a bit, get more than one site etc, it is time to move on!

Homebew Fanatic.com is the first one to get moved, but the others will follow soon. I have to admit I was a bit scared, I didn’t want to mess up the mess I already had, and I will no longer be able to use Yahoo Sitebuilder for my sites, this is the best WYSIWYG editor available, but I have learned how to use other tools, I will miss the simplicity, but it is time to move on!

I want to thank everyone for their patience, I have a million plugins to set up, RSS feeds to be replaced etc, but things will be rolling again soon!

Have a cold one for me!

Coors Brewing : Keystone Light (Longneck)

February 04, 2008 By: CarpetGuy Category: Beer Reviews 1 Comment →

keystone Coors Brewing : Keystone Light (Longneck)Ok, Ok, I can hear everybody already! No, this beer is not a “real” beer, it is not in the same class as even a Budbrewski, but, I am writing this as an “honorable mention”, why, you might ask? IT COMES IN A LONGNECK!

I mean how often do you find cheap beer in a bottle, much less in a longneck! I do have to admit, for $6.99 a 12 pack, it is drinkable, if you chug down the first 3 or 4, it works just fine!

Where I live, in the sticks, this is actually the beer of choice! In fact, the best beer you can buy around here is Bud! Maybe a Shiner, for $7 a six pack! (Not worth $5), but when visiting a store here in the Somerville area, you will find the most, buying this stuff. Today, I just had to know, so, I looked and there it was, a 12 pack of longnecks for $6.99! This is a place that Bud longnecks are $12.99! Any wonder why it sells?

So, now that I have slammed all 12, what do I think? The buzz sucks! I am going to have a hangover from hell! I can tell that this is an adjunct brew, I don’t think it even has any barley malt in it! Nor does it have any hops! I have a strange buzz, almost scary, yet a Bud is way stronger, you don’t know that you will have a headache until the next day. I have to say this, if you want a cheap headache, this is the way to go, but unless you are an alcoholic, don’t mess with it!
