A friendly place for friends who drink

Night caps are not made to be finished, but to be aged overnight and finished pre toothbrushing.

I hate when I wake up and smash a warm nightcap just to realize it's a work day! Oh crap!

 

[BigPerm]

Okay I lied. Foamy HB Saison.

Nightcap, felt rusty tonight after missing a day. Oh well... Plenty of time to train yet.

did you do a couch to 5K kind of thing to get started? I'm trying to get motivated, but haven't figured out what to do. Looking for options

Nope. There's a Gold's Gym literally across the street from us, and my wife and I both decided no more excuses. We went in, they gave us a decent rate, and we've just kept at it. Started in April or May of last year. We're both ~60 lbs down, I've lost 10 inches off my waist and packed on a boatload of muscle. Never been able to do pullups in my life (always had leg strength, not as much upper body, I was a footballer and focused my efforts as such). Now I can do one or two dead hang pullups, 4 or 5 kipping. Plus weights. Lots of weights. Substantially more at high reps that even my previous 1RM was. And running. But I still f***ing hate running.

Tomorrow I'm gonna crank the speed and see if I can't crack a 10 min mile, which I haven't done since high school.

Why run? Are people chasing you?

I suppose it's best to be prepared in case someone is, innit?

 

[blizzard]

They are stronger down here. I know a few places that will put you on your arse quickly

Yeah, I was just noticing that. The first one was no problem, but the second one hit a lot harder.

Checking to see if I feel better. Thanks @blizzard ! This is awesome.

Cheers!

Water. Getting ready for a less early, but still early for me, morning.

Don't have to run if you are willing to turn and fight.


With a stick.

Depends on who we're talking about, and whether "resisting arrest" and/or "assaulting a police officer" applies

 

[Qhrumphf]

My god. This really is the alchy hooligan thread. No wonder the yuppies are perturbed

Embrace it.

Also, those dudes could never catch me anyway.


Except for that one time... And that other time... And the time before that.

Congrats on the whole getting in better shape. Gives me hope it can be done. Don't think I've ever cracked a 10 min mile.

Another beer and an open faced baked rueben. Never ran from the cops... except for all the times I didn't get caught.

Favorite story was when swmbo was driving on our way to vacation and was pulled over for speeding ~12 over. Our daughter thought she was gonna be arrested and put on the news. Gotta love little kids.

End of the growler. Pretty impressed with these PET growlers

I wish we see more. All you need is a new top and its brand new.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Insert scene that I won't link from (I believe) Monty Python's Meaning Of Life where a gent gets to choose his manner of execution. Well if it was the boneyard I might link it...

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Second coffee waiting for my train. Drive over wasn't too bad - now just hoping my train doesn't go from 'on time' to 'cancelled'

And yes, that was Meaning of Life.

 

[Helly]

My god. This really is the alchy hooligan thread. No wonder the yuppies are perturbed

And to think of how many of you crazies are drinking French press coffee too. I had the wrong idea about all of you I guess.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Coffee. Busy day ahead. ****.

Good on ya for sticking to it. 4 mile run down this morning. Hate running on the treadmill, but not crazy enough to run outside in this. Beer/homebrewing podcasts help pass the time. Sour Hour, Basic Brewing Radio, Steal this Beer, etc

Staying home. That guy has a cough. French press Trader Joes breakfast blend. Not awful but a week of charcoal water made me appreciate office Folgers. I gotta roast my last half lb.

 

[Psylocide]

Full Throttle. Which was how fast I was going last night... Which is a bad idea on banked turns.

And I forgot to take a damn pic of that thing put together.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Guess I missed the running from the law talk but I'm not hungover so it's going to be a rough day.. you get to share it. Only times we had to run from them, was when they'd catch us putting jumper cables on RR tracks to make the gates go down so we could **** with passing cars. The cars which often came an hour apart, being in the country.. so we pretty much drank on the tracks and smashed **** all night. Then we'd get found out and tear ass into the woods. Only one cop ever chased us into the woods, but he got stuck on the barbed wire fence we all knew about. Good times.

Coffee. Clear head and irritable.

You broke it before your daughter even got to play with it, didn't you?

Having some McDonalds coffee and a sausage burrito. Wife ended up having surgery yesterday to remove the kidney stone. Didn't get discharged until 11:30 last night. Gonna be a long day.

 

[onetoeddogbrewery]

Chitty tire shop waiting room coffee. Picked up a nail plus it was time for a balance and rotation. It amazes me that a company that specializes in tires and batteries only has one guy working the tire side of the shop.

Hope she has a speedy recovery.

 

[Psylocide]

Haha... no, we had a great time.

However, most of it was me running both cars or her running to get her car after she instinctively squeezes the trigger all the way and send the car rocketing across the room.

But I had an idea, tonight I'm going to take a piece of electrical tape and tape it around the 'gun' so she can only pull the trigger to half throttle. That way she can tool around and I can work on my speed laps.

Also, hope the wife recovers quickly @wyobrewer1 .

Look at this super fashionable minifig.

You're talking about the "President Business" right?

The luchador you goof.

More French press. Scrambling eggs for breakfast I think.
