New Table Hockey Game
Well, forget FoosBall and bring on the table hockey,
This bad boy is a new product to Canadian Tire. It has steel framed nets with real mesh, Solid plastic players and a rod system that is unbreakable and the highest performance unit on the market. What better to settle a hockey rival than a head to head game.

2 New Homebrew kegs
The Morley is going
HomeBrew style. A quick call to Defalco’s Brew Supplies in little
What better to go with two
new kegs but two new brews.
Bellow is the labour of 1
hour. Two buckets of brew, the first is an Irish Stout, the Second is Irish
Cream ale. What else would you expect? The size of the kegs are key, as you may
or may not know I love a pint of Guinness, but that’s it .. 2 pints, and I’m
bloated like a dead porpoise. 19L or 38 pints is enough that Leaf Fans and
others in the posse can enjoy a Pint of Stout at the Morley, lord knows that a
100 Pint Keg would last for ever.

New ICE Maker
With the amount of ice used
for Morley Specials, it only made sense to install an Ice Maker at the Bar!
Wal-Mart Special, found it
in a flyer last week

Vegas Baby!
While in Vegas for the
yearly Bachelor party last year, we discovered that we could no longer get
group pictures taken at the gift shop at the Star Trek Experience. This year
while checking out Coyote Ugly at New York New York Casino we came across the
picture to capture Vegas's True spirit, Immortalized in crystal is the only way

The BBQ to end all BBQ's
While I was checking this
BBQ out at the cash in Costco, an older lady asked me "Are you a
professional (Cook)?" No, I replied, I'm just trying to impress my friends

I'm working on
putting in a Bar gun at the Morley
Lindsay Reasoning, 1) Cool
factor, 2) reduce recycling, guessed about 15 L of pop goes through the bar per
week, 3) I have a spare CO2 tank taking up space, all good reasons!
After reading on slashdot
about a guy who created an installation guide, I went to his site and checked
it out, everything you need to know about getting a Soda fountain running at home.
Check the link here http://www.boneville.net/soda/
I figured I needed some
stuff so I went to Ebay and started shopping.
I'm looking for
- Soda Bar Gun
- Carbonator
- One Soda Pump per soda on the gun (6)
- Regulator for the CO2 tank
- Cold Plate to chill the carbonated
beverage as it comes into the gun
First I bought a gun from
EBay, $9.95 USD,,,,, still waiting for it to arrive,
I've also bought 3 pumps
from a place in Rochester for $12-$15 USD each, Too bad, I can get them locally
cheap, looks like it'll cost about $100 CDN for all three plus shipping, not
counting Duty!
Then I went looking
at used restaurant equipment stores. After talking to a beverage distribution
center, they told me a few places to look. I showed him a picture of the Ebay
special and he informed me that it was a pre-mix gun, and electric at that,,, bad
news,,,, I now need to find another post-mix gun
After that he took me to
the warehouse and showed me 3 or 4 complete systems lying on the floor
(Bastard) over priced, gotta try to keep the Morley spirit alive by finding the
cheapest used crap and turn it into something beautiful..
I called one or two places,
no luck, then I drove by Kassis on Merivale. He had 3 bar guns, two post mix
and 1 pre mix. I chatted him up and managed to walk away with 2 guns, a
regulator, 4 pumps and a Carbonator for $200
.
First step was to clean it
all up, then start putting it together, by the first night I had it pumping
water from a bucket,, ,heh heh , can almost taste the coke now.
You can see the Orange and
red syrup still in the Gun,,,,,Peeling back the black cowling reveled some
green gunk,,, I took the gun completely apart and cleaned it with Guinness
strength Line cleaner,,, came up like new
Then installation of the
gun and pumps. Once I get the syrup I'll need to tune the system to pump, 5-1
Carbonated water to Coke and 5.5-1 for Diet, in the picture below you cna see
the little white screws above each line that comes in, turning that controls
the syrup flow,,,,,,
The Laundry room is looking
like a Nuclear Fusion Lab.... Still missing the Boxes of syrup but the
connectors on the Left are clean and ready to Go, Initially I'll have 3 pops,
Coke, Diet Coke and Sprite, a water button and a carbonated water button,
potentially I could run Rye from one of the two front buttons, but still
thinking about it, I may just use the first gun I bought to pump Liquor
This Is the finished unit,
not bad.....
I needed something to hold
the nozzle so I made a lindsay special from ABS pipe and a piece of OAK
Still to come,,,,,,,
The Carbonator is missing
some hook up flares,,, I've checked everywhere but no luck,,,, may need to
either order them from the Carbonator people in T.O. or do a Lindsay Special!
Syrup, I've got a local connection
for boxes, but I'll probably need to call Coke eventually, One box produces
about 200L of coke,,, so probably once a month, every 2 months for Diet.
I went back to Kassis and
got a second carbonator, and a cold plate Friday morning. The Coke arrived on
Thursday! 8)
I cleaned up the new stuff
hooked it up and by Friday night we had Coke on button one and
Watch the gun in action!!
