Puritan Pub (2)

[abacabb3]

I told you about my Oscar Schindler syndrome. I want to make sure there is a benefit which saves me so much time that it enables me to do writing/work/church stuff.

Maybe go in the middle and grab the 770.

 

[abacabb3]

I was thinking that.

Ok, you got me. I rail against Lent and scoff at Christmas but St. Patrick’s Day! That’s another matter. I plan to hit the pub with some libertarian fellas early, probably around 5 for just one LARGE pint of ale and after that a pipe and theological discussion about legalism with some fellas from church.

You?

 

[gord44]

Wife and I are planning to head out since out first official date was on St Patricks day way back when. So we usually do something. Probably hit a pub or bar and have 2 pints (one before and one with dinner) and dinner.

 

[abacabb3]

No plans St. Patrick's day. We have a lot of birthdays coming up, so we'll probably get friends together and argue over stuff.

 

[JM]

Heading out to pick up a bottle of Irish whisky. Any recommendations?

Also, any ukulele players in the pub? I'm looking at buying a new, larger uke and have questions.

Thanks

^Redbreast 15 year I hear is outstanding. But be warned, it isn't cheap.

Haha it's close to $55 bucks! Last time I got together with my buddies they drink the bottle so I don't think I'll spend that much. I would love to try it though.

^That Canadian dollar definitely goes farther!

I was off...the 12 year was $68 bucks for a 26r (canadian for 750mil).

I grabbed a bottle of good old Protestant whiskey...BUSHMILLS! Produced in Northern Ireland, by Ulster Scots, commissioned by King James in 1608.

To God, King and country!

lol

Excellent discernment.

I took the Roomba plunge.

I got the 870. With spare parts and a 2-year warranty it cost me about $650.

I wanted one with the least maintenance. This I believe will help save on parts in the long term and actually give to me time savings so I can cook more and have guests more often.

The 870 has the new software architecture that saves battery power. Being that it has lithium-ion batteries, this helps the batteries last longer

Lastly, it does not have a remote control or fancy options, which I don't want, because they confuse me and I don't want to go home and figure out a gadget.

Hopefully, my cats don't ride around on it.

 

[gord44]

excellent. post videos of said cats riding on the vacuum if possible!!

 

[abacabb3]

We shall see. I am considering (once I get the mess out of my living room) of making a youtube channel for my blog (ReformedChristianTheology.com). Stuff would include how to Jehovah's Witnesses and Roman Catholics. Perhaps I will slap a "Work Hard Give Hard" 1 John 3:16 bumper sticker onto the Roomba and post it onto the channel...

 

[JM]

Interesting investment.

 

[gord44]

haha. let us know if you do!

 

[gord44]

does that Roomba do hardwood? I may want to get one just for kicks and giggles. I find them intriguing.

 

[abacabb3]

Yes, they are better on hardwood actually. They make some very cheap robots that do hardwood for less than $100.

 

[gord44]

excellent!
