chattius 2,527 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Jägermeister, all these parties and people bring bottle of Jägermeister. No blood alcohol allowed at work, so best is to bake a cake with it and eat a slice at evening. http://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/22861005729114/Jaegermeisterkuchen.html Our second daughter looses 4 hours a day at public transport to school. When kids at town are done with homework she isn't even at home. 1 Link to comment

Dragon Brother 619 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Weekend! It's been a busy week. My group and I submitted the first part of our design project yesterday...3 out of 12 chapters and we're 150 pages in! It's going to be a busy semester... Link to comment
chattius 2,527 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Just (3am) returning home from playing a sort of barkeeper/cocktailmixer at a Polterabend in the village. Polterabend is the day before the marriage and traditionally the couple spends it together with friends and neighbours. Friends throw porcelaine at the house of the bride, because a german saying says shards bring luck. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polterabend We don't do a bachelor party or something like this in our area. We had 32 Celcius in shadow yesterday and the most wanted drink was a 'sauergespritzter Speierling' Speierling is a sort of a really sour cider. An apple wine made from apples with some fruits from the service tree(Speierling). Sauergespritzt means that some sparkling mineral water is mixed to the cider. The mix is really refreshing and contains less alcohol. Speierling is made here for centuries and we are judt a few miles from Selters, the village which gave the name to mineral water. Selters= seltzer water. So the mix is cemturies old too. 1 Link to comment

chattius 2,527 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 .... Stopped counting the beers I had yesterday. A good estimate is between 2000 and 2500. Our volunteer firefighting was founded in 1933 by a law forcing villages to either have volunteer firefighters or every male adult having to spend several weekends for firefighting training. So we did an open house with firefighting games for kids, brass music from our firefighting band, showing our equipment, how we cut people out of cars, how people can free themself if the car lays on its roof, how to extinguish a pot with burning oil in the kitchen,... The village owned baking house did lot of yeast dough fruit cakes... And the village hall for the elections for german and hessian parliament at this day was kust a few metres away. Our 120 people village had like 900 people visiting. When not playing tuba I was playing barkeeper and filling beer glasses, daughters were selling cakes,.. 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 wow a real life tuba? kept in house or at station? If it's made out of metal, it must cost a fortune! Just saw this week's episode of Breaking Bad... make mine a neat Dimple PInch pls gogo Link to comment
chattius 2,527 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 It is my tuba and I have it at home when not used. Everyone in my family plays an instrument. I have the tuba from my grandpa. Normally I play the horn in our family orchestra. For a hunting license you have to know and are able to do the horn signals anyway. I a forest you can't see other hunters so horn signals are used, like hunt starts, hunt over, boar is dead ,... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3G2NlzLuyho 1 Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Ah, the horn makes sense now, and I like it's originas, very pragmatic gogo Link to comment

Hooyaah 2,823 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Someone mentioned free drinks in my introduction forum. If it's not too much of a bother I'll have a double vodka, neat. Link to comment
chattius 2,527 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Vodka? I fear the last 10 bottles we got were used not in the sense of the producer. When we do parties ,people bring bottles. That's normal, but we both don't drink alcohol if the next day is a working day or when having readiness. So all the bottles remain untouched till autumn. Then we start to do x-mas presents for the next year. Big glasses filled with pieces of quinces (leftovers from marmelade and Quittenbrot making) and then vodca or Doppelkorn till all is well covered. Then the glass is closed and put in the storage cellar. After a year it is opened, filtered and each litre of f the alcoholic liquid is mixed with 400ml water and 4ßßg sugar and some vanilla rods. All short boiled and the vanilla removed. The result is a nice quinces liqueur. Filled in decorative bottles, etiquettes hand written and a nice rippon band woven around. Nice presents for these 'people who have everything'. 1 Link to comment
Timotheus 416 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Soooo there's lots to do in the new appartment, but we're slowly getting there. This weekend we picked up our totally awesome couch, a yucca plant, three shelving units, and a set of a side table, coffee table and a to-be-assembled tv unit, all done in glossy black. Oh and some lamps to complement our bedroom (still waiting for our curtains to be finished and yes, we still need a few lamps). Pics of the new corner-desk will follow once the 'puter setup is completed. Sneak peek at the unfinished state our appartment is in right now: http://tweakers.net/ext/f/pfFf29PLuoyXqSDogefUwtoV/full.png Now, if someone could get me a nightcap, I'm off to bed because I'll be working again tomorrow Edited October 20, 2013 by Timotheus Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Very sleek looking, Timo... like apartment pix from catalogues we have here^^ Chattius, Ill take two bottles of that delicious sounding Quince LIqueur please gogo Link to comment
Timotheus 416 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 We're getting there, one step at a time... It's crazy how much of a difference curtains and a lamp make. Plus, we also moved all the broken or damaged crap to our depository downstairs. That saves a ton of room. Link to comment
chattius 2,527 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Was at france for 3 days. Combined a business trip with visiting our oldest daughter who is studying at a university in france: unloaded 3 suitcases with winter clothes, loaded 3 duffel bags with summer clothes. Managed to trigger an alarm at university, didn't know they filtered air to detect explosives, carrying a duffel bag on each shoulder didn't help either. Wondered why they stopped me when walking out and not when in *puzzle*. Probably I was sweating when walking out and that released some nanagramm of the explosives from work ? At least I could do a nice talk with the security chief at a good glas of wine. Link to comment
Timotheus 416 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Feeling a bit sad. I started browsing DM a bit, and eventually wound up at the Wiki. I never realised what damage the wiki took up until now I guess, there's so much info on the original Sacred gone missing... From what I could see quite a bit of info on items, there's no mention of the easter eggs in Sacred anymore. Remember the Jason items, only to be found accessing that special area? The items are mentioned, but not how to get them... Or the Pacman cave? The light saber?Tristram? I miss those days, so many fond memories Link to comment
Gilberticus 374 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Maybe someone will fix that. I played Sacred long after I already had Sacred 2, I know nothing about the Jason items, the Pacman cave, and the light saber. Maybe resurrecting the missing sections would be a good project for you? You could relive old,fond memories as well as potentially renew interest in the first game. There are a slew of new games on the horizon ( I myself am waiting for the 3rd Witcher), but until then, sacred would fill the gap nicely I bet Link to comment
Timotheus 416 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Ahh that might be true. I have so little time to game these days, but maybe I can squeeze a few runs in to shoot some pics and write up quick how-to's.. Link to comment
Flix 5,116 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) That was going to be my goal, back in summer of this year - to work on Sacred 1 wiki pages, cause they're so barren. I ended up focusing on Sacred 2 instead, but in my fantasy once I "finish" (yeah right) Sacred 2 I will go back and fill in Sacred 1 as well. Thing is, I'm just one guy.

chattius 2,527 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 hundred Bratwurst 1000 bottles beer (alcohol free) and most important : a beamer and a big canvas screen to watch the worldcup final at soccer Will watch at firefighters and I hope everyone is watching too in my neighbourhood instead of doing something stupid like making a fire or having an accident Link to comment
SX255 630 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Its the Football world finals... And Germany is one of the teams... You should take bets if "something stupid" happens before or right after when the game is finished. 1 Link to comment
