Masstoberfest 2015

[nhwrecker]

there was a double post?

Hey PTN, I may take you up on using your brew rig. When was the last time you fired that sucker up?

Do I have to bring spider repellent or anything to clear out the small rodents that have moved into you brew kettle?

 

[paulthenurse]

That might not be a bad idea.

 

[paulthenurse]

I can't wait to see you, Mort. I've got some great pictures from the Galapagos dives . Although they were not taken with a pissah camera like yours they are still unbelievable.View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1443102595.620989.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1443102626.771450.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1443102650.629319.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1443102673.072862.jpg

I love your photos and videos, Paulie. I'm so jealous.

I broke a finger last week, and it's friggin' killing me. You can't imagine how much you actually use your hands until you lose the use of one. This sucks.

 

[paulthenurse]

Nose all clogged up?

 

[Melana]

Yoop stay home and rest that finger. There's always next year

 

[Yooper]

Nose all clogged up?

You suck. I expected a little sympathy, hoping your nursing skills and empathy would come into play. One of my friends suggested it is a repetitive motion injury, being the middle finger and all.

Trust me, I'm waving my splinted and swollen finger at you right now.

It's a displaced avulsion fracture, in case you might pretend to care a little.

 

[Yooper]

Yoop stay home and rest that finger. There's always next year

See, kind words and sympathy. That's why everybody loves Melana.

 

[paulthenurse]

Nice. Here I was all concerned over the state of your sinuses and you tell me I suck. Then flip me off. Nice. Wicked nice.

Ok. So how did you bust the finger? Tell somebody they sucked and got punched in the nose?

 

[Paps]

Very clear/crisp pictures.
No selfie with a shark?

You know how no reply to "How did you break XXX bone?" ever begins, "Well, I was doing something intelligent...."?

So I will just start it with "Well, I was doing something stupid and I......" It's actually something stupid, but it is a wild ricing injury. We were done harvesting for the day and I was wiped out. I picked up my metal canoe to put it in the back of the truck and it just somehow got smashed under/between the keel and the tailgate and displaced. It's only at the distal phalange and up into the joint. Unfortunately, the avulsion is right at the joint so it is definitely ugly and painful. It's not nearly as swollen as it is, and I might get some movement back into it before long (I hope). It does suck, because I can't believe how it impacts my life.

Even typing is painfully slow, so that's why you've been spared much of my chatter on Facebook and the forum. Until now.

I ate lunch at the hospital with "the girls" yesterday and my OT friend gave me some grief about not seeing the "hand guy" but he's like 90 miles away and I'm not going to have surgery on it anyway. She told me at least to try to keep it in the position of function- which I am. But it means I could still flip you off if I had the opportunity.

I'm not much of a whiner, but it does hurt like a bastard.

 

[paulthenurse]

Tldr

 

[paulthenurse]

Ok. I went back and read it. Fascinating stuff. A "rice" trauma story. You wild and crazy kid.

Btw, nice use of that fancy medical jargon. Impressed. I generally use terms like boo boo and ouchie.

 

[Melana]

She can always win the cup next year.

 

[Yooper]

She can always win the cup next year.

Heck, I'd be happy to even just be there next year.

It's always something.

 

[Paps]

So who won the bet?

As you know, most of my words have four letters- but that is simply so you can understand me.

I'm glad you're impressed.

 

[nhwrecker]

You suck. I expected a little sympathy, ........ in case you might pretend to care a little.

Yoop, we haven't met yet, and I'm looking forward to meeting you next month, but really? Putting sympathy and Paul in the same sentence - well, you might as well add intelligent, thoughtful, slim and good looking in there too, since you're dreaming........

BTW, I'm going to plan on using PTN's rig to brew up a batch of your Cascade Pale Ale during the Masstoberfest - I look forward to your back-seat brewing if you still make it out here.

and PTN, Pat and I are definitely looking forward to checking out your pics - I've seen some on facebook and it looks like you guys had an awesome time. But still, GFY.

Mort

 

[paulthenurse]

Moët, you and Pat should bring your dive gear. Stay over and we'll dive on Sunday. Yoop if you're not on a plane you can come along

Mort

It must be tough to breathe with your nose that far up someone's azz.

And you can find sympathy in the dictionary between **** and syphilis.

 

[nhwrecker]

maybe that's how she broke her finger.

Also, can't do that Sunday - I've got a prior engagement helping to bottle 55 gallons of brandywine that's been sitting in a whiskey barrel since March.

I'll have that to share at the next Masstoberfest

 

[nhwrecker]

Oh, and yeah, I'm sorry that Yoop has created awesome beer recipes that many others brew, drink and enjoy. You, for sure, have managed 2 out of 3.
I brewed that Cascade PA last spring, and it disappeared far too quickly.

Thanks Yoop. And wave that splinted finger to the east for me for PTN.

 

[Yooper]

Pretty sure I have plans on Sunday. But that does sounds awesome.

 

[paulthenurse]

Thank God both of you said no because mostly on Sunday I just want to sleep and then get up in the afternoon, nurse my hangover, and clean up the mess

 

[paulthenurse]

Hey honestly, if any of you guys are reading this thread and think it's anything at all like it comes off on this thread it really isn't. Well it is kinda, but it isn't. Yes it's out-of-control sorta, but for what it's worth my 85-year-old mom and dad will be there, so it is not the crazy bunch idiots that it sounds like. Don't be afraid to bring polite company to the party. We really are civilized.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

... We really are civilized.

Ha, wait until I show up.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Did he just invite..?............

 

[Daddymem]

Holy hell...or heaven...or whatever. Imagine my surprise when I saw the Pope reach out and touch the most coveted trophy in the whole world.
What a lucky Pope.

Hey, who is that dude in the front? Looks like he's driving the Pope mobile.

I tell ya, winning that trophy is life altering. Oh the places you'll go indeed.
