I Do Things Like Send JD a Gift Basket!


We’ve sold literally thousands of our world famous Redneck Beer Gift Baskets, and there seems to be no end in sight to how many we will be sending out. We also send them out to unsuspecting victims, I mean, people who really deserve them, as a gift for just being so cool.The next beer gift basket we send will be addressed to JD at I Do Things.

JD deserves gifts just for making us laugh so many times. I snickered for a good two days over her post, I Am Famous (and More!), where we learned of her deep seated desire to squeeze plump birds. Bird squeezers everywhere can thank JD for coming out of the closet on this taboo subject.

What else do we know about JD? Well, we can get a glimpse of her personal life in  I Like Porn So You Don’t Have To. She also loves the marshmallow pieces in Lucky Charms, so much so that she removes some of the regular cereal to increase the marshmallow to cereal ratio. Tell me if that isn’t magically delicious!

And we know she sometimes has “nude beach adventures”after reading I Went To The Ponderosa Sun Club. In fact, if you only read one thing at I Do Things, you have to read about their naked visit to the snack bar at the Poderosa club! I laughed so hard I couldn’t breath properly for minutes. If you are at all interested in the nude lifestyle but are afraid to try it, JD might be your window into a brave new world. One thing I know for sure, I will never run into JD (or anyone else!) on a nude beach. I am quite happy letting her do the nude beach thing for me.

There is so much more at I Do Things, that you will just have to head over there and find out yourself. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

For JD’s beer gift , we are going all out. We will have most of the items we listed in The Ultimate Redneck  Gift Basket, and a few more. Since JD just lurves cherries, we thought we’d put a few of those in there. We also put a couple Canadian Maples as well as a dozen red velvet cupcakes in the basket. And of course, Blue Beaver Beer. When you’re feeling blue, grab a beaver!

Thanks for the laughs, JD.

How Do You Keep an HHO Hydrogen Generator From Freezing?

This is a pressing question for many people who are working on hho hydrogen cells. Winter is fast approaching, and still no breakthrough on how to keep our hho hydrogen generators from freezing. We need to figure this out and pronto, or we won’t be able to use our hho generators until spring thaw. So, how will keep the water from turning to ice and freezing the housing, cracking it wide open? Let’s face it, folks. The answer could be just as complicated as passing the 2008 CPA Board Exam!

Some people have used regular automotive antifreeze, which naturally doesn’t freeze but also doesn’t make as much hho gas. Others have added methanol or ethanol alcohol to the units. The problem is that it is hard to keep enough alcohol in the water if your hho unit is hooked up with vacuum and the temperature of the water gets very high during operation. This can cause alcohol to evaporate off, and the lower concentrations can allow the hydrogen generator to freeze at night or when sitting.

Others claim that high levels of electrolyte will stop the generator or lines from filling with ice. I hope to test that later on this year. Without trying a few things after temperatures go below freezing, we won’t know for sure which methods work and which don’t. Hopefully we will be able to stop hho hydrogen generators from freezing and continue to use them to get better fuel mileage all winter.

Shopping For A New Bar Sound System

A stereo sound system can really make or break a business like this one.  After my run in with the guys selling bar sound system components on the Whitemud, I put a little thought into our stereo setup at the Redneck Bar and Grill. We pretty much went with the old stereo system that came with the joint when we took it over, with a few minor tweaks. The hard wooden floor and walls tended to give our bar an echo problem, which we managed to mitigate with genuine tribal hangings I bought off the Slouching Tiger Tribe in the Forest of Ubangme. Ernie got crafty and whipped out some sound absorbing ceiling tiles made out of Blue Beaver Beer boxes . Now all we needed was better sound equipment, but Ernie and I got busy and tied up with other things. We just never got around to it.
Those 2 guys in Edmonton were trying to sell me a fairly cheap set. It had this low end stuff in it:
Yamahog sound table with 27 input
53 foot long, 19 input snake cord
Double Demon 9000 cd player
Deringher compressor
Deringher cross-over
Deringher EQ
2 Deringher amp 2500 Flowerpower
2 Deringher 18″ bass bins
4 top speakers

I figure I can do a lot better than this, off of eBay. I’m going to shop around and see what I can get. I might look for a NAD C272 Power Stereo amplifier, or some such. In any case, soon we’ll be blowing the socks off of customers with our new bar sound system. We’ve been pulling a lot of cash with our Blue Beaver Beer Gift Baskets, so we can afford to pick up a kicka$$ set of speakers and amps.

Don’t Buy Your New Bar Sound System From 2 Guys in a Van!

A couple weeks ago, I was driving down the Whitemud in Edmonton, Alberta. I was in the big city picking up supplies for our world famous Redneck Beer Gift Baskets, and was just on my way down to the Forest of Ubangme to get a new tiger torch for Ernie’s kitchen.
THis white full sized cargo van pulled up beside me with two young men, both clean cut but a little exitable looking. It was one of those vans that doesn’t have windows down the sides, just white metal and the barn doors in back. They were pointing at my truck and pointing to the side of the road. Neither one looked dangerous or overly large and intimidating, so being curious I pulled over and got out of the truck.
“Snap! Do we have a deal for you,”The driver said. “Come look at these babies we got in the van! A high quality sound system, real cheap!”
He opened the back door, and sure enough he had a few boxes in there, one of them opened up. I could see a high quality speaker in there, just like he said.
“Whatya think, man? We can give these to you right now for real low prices. I got most of a sound system for any bar in here!”
“Are these hot?” I asked, knowing full well they must be.
“Not really. WE ordered 1 set, and the delivery truck unloaded 2 sets at the warehouse, so we got an extra set. These are worth a pile. You can have them half price!”
I was a little torn. The Redneck Bar and Grill could use a new bar sound system,badly. And the price was right. Even so, stolen speakers and sound system components could only get me in trouble, and it was wrong.
“Sorry guys, I don’t need anything like that right now. If you give me your name and number I might get back to you.”
They just looked at each other, jumped back in their van and made a break for it.
I went on my way, sans stolen goods. But, they got me thinking that maybe I could use a new sound system for the bar. I decided to look into a set of pub or bar speakers etc.
I heard later on the radio, that a few warehouse workers in Edmonton. got busted for helping themselves to some stereo and electronics components.
