We're having 40-50 mph wind gusts here

Work sent us home early today

Not as much snow as some of you guys, but the wind and negative weather is leaving drifts and hidden ice everywhere

I made a beer run on the way home lol

Be safe friends
Glad you’re drinking beer again, ….it’s fun !!!🍺
 
Going to be one of those days. It’s a miracle we still have power. Winds are still gusting up to 60-80. Power lines and trees down on the only country road in and out of here. About to throw a couple chainsaws and fuel in the truck and head down the road with the neighbor. Stay warm and safe everyone!
Stay clear of the downed lines, brother. Just because they look off and it’s dark doesn’t mean they are off or won’t come back on. High voltage is unforgiving.

Not trying to tell a grown man how to handle his business. I just give a shit because I’ve responded to many power-related fatalities and near-misses over the years.

Cheers and Merry Christmas !

bring a skunk or other live animal and some sort of glowing slime.
 
What are you drinking at the moment sir !
😢 I’m not……You mentioned a while back that you’d laid off the sauce when you were ill. I thought to myself, “Self, you’ve been drinking gloriously and often for most of your life. Self, you haven’t been feeling healthy for a while. Self, you work way too much and don’t sleep enough.”
I never really listen to my “self” in moments like that. This time though, I say FLUCKENGRUVIN, I’m spending the next 30 sober and rested. I may even get in shape and save $.
Can anybody guess what I’ll do with the $$$???? Anyways, I look forward to my next drink and in due time…..I also look forward to being a healthier version of myself and living a little longer.
Sorry for the rant….I must be convincing myself. Please have one for my sorry arse ! 🤪
 
- Buy the wife a car ?
- I will - still have two doors to open in my Whiskey Advents Calendar.

Stay strong .... or postpone to lent. :)
-Working on the car thing.

About that calendar: I was actually thinking about getting one, until, well…this epitome thing. I appreciate it !

So I’ve had one of these “near beers” in the ‘ol garage beer fridge for a loooooong time. Not bad. Kinda tastes like “heavy petting” vs 4th base, lol !

Who remembers a sexy and mean DEK variant that has a satin hollow grind, 15 dps, popsicle stick-ish scales, etc. ???

I saw a pic and the big man’s (NtM) listing a short while back but I can’t find it now. I’ve seen a couple similar DEKs during my studies, as well. Any hints concerning these variants ? I’m planning on saving my drankan’ $ up until I can make an offer that someone can’t refuse (in the appropriate thread and format, of course) 😉

Those hollow ground DEK1s are extremely rare. There are a few more FK2 and UF2 versions around than the HG-DEK1.

ETA: while we are studying CPK's archives, there was also a DEK-0:
