  1. Guise, I need ideas. The wife and daughter are going to Nehraska for the weekend and I'm on my own for a few days. What should I do?

      @MLB 51 From what I've seen with stain is you can build more depth of color, do veins etc. I want to make it look like granite or natural stone. Got 5 different stain colors. Going to put some mica flakes in the epoxy, do a few dark veins. Imma go crazy.

      @Comfortably Numb, I highly recommend doing some trial runs/tests on scrap concrete. Sometimes the big box stores will have some broken blocks they'll give you.

      I poured 3 extra 10" circles to practice staining. Had a fourth one but had to dig into it to finish the table top :lol:

  3. Guise, I just had the best liver & onions I've ever had in my life. So good.

      I love liver and onions... one of my favorite meals. Soak it in milk for a few hours first and it takes out the "gamey" taste.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Yep, that's how I do it also. Soak it in milk, light flour breading, and fry it......when my wife isn't home cuz she can't stand the smell of it. That's why I usually get it if it's on the menu when we eat out.

    4. Thanks_Tom RR

      The liver I get, but I don’t think human bodies are suppose to have onions. Glad they are in good health though.

      I would argue that Colorado has the 2nd best QB we will see all season behind what Haskins has done vs. very pedestrian competition early. Team wise I would put them behind OSU, Wiscy, and Michigan for sure. After that it's most likely a toss up. 

    4. admo

      admo

      I would put Colorado tied with Northwestern, behind Wisconsin, Iowa and the Huskers in the West (alone).  If our QB doesn't go down we capitalize on the lead and finish them off with a sound victory.  They are an upcoming team, with some pretty good talent.  Overall, they are basically a 6-6 squad that now has momentum while fooling a bunch of people's opinions obviously. 

       

      Also, their secondary could have been picked on a lot more than it was and exposed for a few more touchdowns, but whatever.

      @knapplc It's only happened to me at the downtown location during prime dinner hours (5:00-8:00) when I've been with a party of 6+.

      Put good tequila in glass. Sip. Repeat.

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Here's what I came up with and they were pretty good.

       

      6 oz Tequila

      2 oz Triple Sec

      4 oz Frozen Limeade Concentrate

      8 oz Frozen Sliced Strawberries

      Put all that in blender then fill with ice.

      Also made some with Frozen blueberries. Had to add some Agave Nectar (2-3 TBS) to the blueberry because they weren't sweet enough.

       

      Wanted to make some plain lime ones (or coconut) and then layer them red, white & blue but it was a bit too hot out and I knew they wouldn't layer well without slightly freezing them first and I wasn't that ambitious.

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      I did get a bottle of Cabo Wabo Anejo. Liked it a lot plain....very smooth. And no, I didn't waste it on the frozen margs.

      Thanks for all the nice words guys. Really not looking forward to the next trip to the vet. Those are tough.

  10. Hate to say it guys but, based on this weeks committee rankings, it doesn't matter what we do the rest of this season, Nebraska will be left out of the playoffs regardless. It's probably a moot point point but I really thought if we took care of us things could work out. Nope.

      Our chances of going 11-1 are decent

      Our chances of beating tOSU are less than 50%

    3. The King

      The King

      Considering we have (possibly) 3 ranked teams left on our schedule, Wisconsin, Minnesota and a top 10 OSU, I'd be surprised if we were left out at the end of the season IF that were to happen. The meat of our schedule is ahead of us. I'd be more concerned if we stayed around 15 after we win @Wiscy. I assume a win (our first top 25 of the year) @Wiscy puts us at 10 or so.

    4. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      The problem is, Wiscy, Minny, & Iowa ARE the meat of our schedule. Beating all three of them soundly is not going to impress this committee. These past two rankings show us what they value and those 3 don't/won't/can't have the "pizazz".

  11. Does anybody know of anything to do in Omaha on Saturday Jan 17th? Wife and her siblings are meeting there to celebrate their moms birthday but we have been unable to find anything for them to do. looking for any good suggestions; live theatre, concert, etc. Best they've come up with is bowling......please tell me there is more than that in Omaha on a Saturday.

      Casino isn't bad. Funnybone is solid. Go downtown and scope out the bar scene. Have to look and see what's going on the 17th as far as the Quest center or Orpheum.

      I can be the stunt c$%k if beanman goes flaccid. Also, tell them to go to Grey Plume for dinner, that place is perfect when it's cold. Also, looks like Omaha Symphony might be playing at Holland.

      Hey I don't blame him for taking the money. My post was more to say that, other than his paycheck, not much will change for him in the meaningful wins category. And I doubt if Miami gets their money's worth out of him. If they don't instantly jump to perennial conference contender (which they won't), it's a bust imo.

  13. Just discovered that the people who moved in next door are tOSU fans. Oh sure I'd noticed the buckeye t shirts and shorts and stuff before but now we've got flags and banners going on over there. Oh well, guess it could be worse, they could be Wiscy or Iowa or CU fans. I won't egg their house just yet.....

      Go outside and shout O-H! at them at random hours of the night. They're obligated by sacred bond to get out of bed, go outside and yell "I-O!" back to you. It's hours of fun.

      I thought my neighbors were Wisconsin fans for the longest time because of a sticker on their car. When they started putting out a flag, I confronted them and it turns out Omaha Westside has the same logo (didn't know that, I'm not from Omaha). Now I feel bad about saying nasty things behind their back

      JJ Husker

      So, buche is pig stomach.

      Tripe would be beef stomach lining.

      Barbacoa would be beef head/cheek meat. And Cabeza is pork cheek meat. I guess I've had the beef version of all of these but not the pork. Time to expand.

  17. Does anybody have a good suggestion for a retirement gift? A female friend of my wife's is retiring from teaching elementary school and havinga party this weekend. We just don't have a good idea what kind of gift this warrants. Of course feel free to also include the typical funny responses that are typical for these requests.

      The concert was good, not great. Pretty much Crue's greatest hits with one Zeppelin medley thrown in. Best thing actally was when they played For Those About To Rock by AC/DC right before they took the stage. It was worth the $16 tickets.

      The chewy chips ahoy was good.  My fav tho was on shaggybevo discussing the new campus statutes of their football greats. Gif's were pretty new and there was some good ones.  Let's just say the facial expressions on the real life statutes really begged to be made fun of.         Also, the online bridal registry of Bobby Petrino's mistress, made public at the same time as the motorcycle crash.  Man people are harsh and hysterical.
