A friendly place for friends who drink

[Qhrumphf]

One more round then bed. Irish Red.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Worth the hype?

I chose to drink poor choices before it. I'll have to try one of the other 3 without hoppy beers beforehand to get an accurate taste.

Still not feeling friendly. Running on 3-1/2 hours sleep from the previous night, and have not had nor will get dinner tonight. The only thing I've eaten today is a piece of toast w/peanut butter, then **** for the rest of the day - the only good part was getting to a different HB store for some Red X malt for beer-making this weekend. Decided to go dry during the week this past weekend, and I want a beer so damn bad right now...

FML

Yep, lack of lunch caught up. You might as well drink your calories as well

Mango Even Keel #2 after doing the dishes. Good when chugging while doing chores, but that's about it imo.

 

[slym2none]

Nope. Not drinking until tomorrow night. Maybe not even then.

The place where I am staying is getting sketchy again. Homeowner wants to sell the house. This next beer might, once again, be the last I brew for a while. We'll see.

**** day turned into **** night.

Still not feeling friendly. Banishing myself from this thread until I get friendly again.

Alright friendly friends, I'm going to peace out of here for a couple weeks while I work hard to buy that beer bar.

The others that were interested bailed after seeing the price of admission.

The 2015 net margin was 25% from a gross of 72%, so I think a little trimming could get it over 30%. Good enough for me.

See you guys in a couple weeks, send me a PM if you need me.

PJ Masks!

Finished prepping my raised bed garden. It sucked last year, so I bought a new, little electric tiller, 4 big bags of MiracleGro 6 month feeding potting soil, and some Jobe's tomato and vegetable fertilizer. Over a couple of days, with a little beach trip in between, I broke up the dirt, tilled fertilizer into it, topped with potting soil, tilled that in, and planted a couple things: yellow bell pepper and oregano. More planting soon...mixed color carrots, mixed color Swiss chard, beets, radishes, and basil. There's some surviving rosemary, parsley, ginger, muscadine grape vines, and Cascade hops (3rd year). Grapes haven't produced any grapes yet (second or third year)...hope to transfer them to a grape arbor in the future. More will come later according to "gardening zone" calendar. Mainly tomatoes, pickling cucumbers, a couple more pepper varieties, and yellow squash.

Site won't load my photos...so I guess all that expensive, hard work didn't actually happen. Damn.

Uhh, if I have to watch the same episode again I'm going to do something drastic. They only have like 5 episodes of that show and my daughter has to watch it all the time

Good luck dood. Hurry too... I might have to go up there for a branch visit soon. Wouldn't mind a beer or two on the house. Lol.

Kaffe in me belly. Gotta run to the store to get some paint and attempt to paint my helmet before work.

I had a QOTD, but it's not really trivia, necessarily. Who here has been banned from HBT - how many times, for how long, and what for? If you haven't been banned from here, but you have been banned from somewhere else, share that story instead.

Only nearly been banned from here. From a certain thread that got heated quickly. A few of you were involved in it. Over half the thread got deleted after the mods stepped in.

In college, junior year, I got banned from the basketball games for the rest of the season after a game against our biggest rival, which also happened to only be a 15 min drive to their campus. My university was called Mid-America Christian University, or MACU (pronounced Mack You). They had a sign on their wall that said "We will Smack U MACU!" After the both the women's and men's games ended in us killing them, a large swath of our students were obviously celebrating. I decided it would be a good idea to go tear the sign off the wall and wave it in front of their student section. One guy who was kinda a friend decided he wanted to be cool and follow along. At that point, I started to tear the sign, and he took some of it and was tearing it up and stomping on it on the court. One of their players saw him, I had pretty much stopped, and started rushing toward him. Nobody threw any punches, but it caused a big commotion. I got thrown under the bus, and didn't try to fight it, because it was just small-college basketball, and I could easily find something else to do. Me and my friends were also already known to try to get opponents' players really pissed. We got flipped off on a number of occasions, and cussed out quite often. It was entertaining to say the least.

 

[drainbamage]

Good luck @thatjonguy !

Oh, and you should probably prepare yourself for some stupid number of notifications in your absence.

Drinking coffee, for some reason I've chosen to be a responsible adult today instead of going out drinking.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

and damn it again. I meant to look for those while I was in TX.

The regular stout was just downtown specs and bourbon was only austin and dallas. Houston always gets screwed

[finsfan]

I get it. I've used the same joke.

I am HBT young though.

How's things otherwise?

Pretty good man! Finished my Siebel course so that frees up some time. The other two jobs havent been too intrusive or time consuming yet which was made this transition go easier. Still learning a ton at work and have even more to learn still. Having fun busting my hump though! Hows your mountain of beer looking?

My brother has been banned from Royal Caribbean cruise line. Like seriously black listed. He was a hard core pill popper back in the day, and on this trip he decided to start fights with everybody, tried to throw a chair through a window, broke a bunch of stuff...did anybody else know commercial cruise lines still have a brig? I didn't until after that story.

 

[BreezyBrew]

...did anybody else know commercial cruise lines still have a brig? I didn't until after that story.

I only knew because we were on a family cruise when I was young and my bro asked my dad. Not from experience though... it does make sense I guess.

Yeast is up early. Even with fermcap. Haven't brewed with 001 in years. Damn that top cropper. Also, does it look to have a pink hue? Weird. Used the same dme as I always do.

That's awesome. Beer mountain is still beer mountain. It will always be beer mountain.

Best of luck! I know you can do it even if you'll be putting in 30 hour days for a while.

French press on another foggy morning.

Probably a super classy morgue that you would see Hollywood movie stars use...or maybe an applebee's...
but nothing can justify 30 bucks for a bucket of ice with four cans of bud light.
Gross.

French Press coffee. Oh so good

Painting your helmet? Is that what kids are calling it these days?

 

[Helly]

Morning friends. Overslept this morning. Enjoying the coffee. Ugly game last night but the good guys prevailed. Excited for games today, I should have extended my leave to take today off work and binge watch. Oh well.

Morning. Coffee. Trying to stay chill today. Need it.

Never been banned here. I almost got blacklisted at a beer bar that my group of friends used to frequent in college, but it wasn't really anything I did.

The one guy in our group always made a point of ordering the strongest thing he could find on the beer list--it usually ended up being something like Old Rasputin or Delirium Tremens--which he would almost always dislike. So, he'd chug it to get rid of it quicker. He was also a lightweight, so 2 beers would knock him on his butt.

The one time, we were taking another friend out for his 21st b-day. The first guy was already being his obnoxious self, and the birthday boy had quite a bit to drink as well. The rest of us didn't realize it, but on our way out the door, he puked in an empty pitcher and left it on the table.

The next time we went, the bartender that served us the last time warned the new server that we were trouble and she shouldn't give us any alcohol. Luckily, she gave us a 2nd chance if we promised not to be a-holes.

I'm not sure what kids call anything these days. Though I could see how that could be a good metaphor. Easy to pick up on though.
