Watching tv is not worth it sometimes.
I just endured an ad using a remake of Jefferson Starship We Built This City.
A quilted Northern toilet paper, “we quilt this city”
“With a comfy roll”

I still don't understand why some places keep large breathe mints in the urinals...
Silly, that's not a breath mint, that's actually hand soap. You gotta fish them out to wash up. And if you work in a kitchen that serves the public you have to, it's required by law.

This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say, "To-morrow is Saint Crispian."
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say, "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words,
Harry the King, Bedford, and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day
hilarity then ensued
& by "hilarity" I mean a bunch of French nobles get turned into muddy pincushions.

Any Stone Brewing fans out there?
Lately, I've been spending a lot of time 150 miles north of my humble brew space working on our NH house. To fuel the efforts I've been buying beer up there, typically 12 packs of Fiddlehead IPA, a righteous brew. For some reason this last weekend I opted to change things up and bought a mixed 12 pack of Stone Brewing, with their Hazy IPA, Tangerine Express Hazy IPA, and Fear.Movie.Lions Hazy Double IPA. I had never had any of those before, but I have had a few Stone IPAs over the decades and they were generally "ok" brews, certainly nothing to write about but always inoffensive, so I figured these were reasonably "safe".
But these three brews...were all AWFUL! Literally the worst tasting commercial beers I've ever bought - and I'm effin' old!
After a testing sip of each of the three brews I ended up dumping the entire 12 pack. No way was I going to torture myself with that crap in a can!
I checked the date codes and there was a week of "Best Enjoyed By" time left. From what I've read since, that implies they were brewed a week short of three months prior. I occasionally have hazies on tap at least that long if not a couple of months longer that are still delicious, so I suspect there's more at play than age.
One of the beers had a hop I've been scrupulously avoiding in my own brewing even while I had never had the "pleasure" of actually tasting. Stone's "Hazy IPA" has it: Sabro. When Sabro first came out and I read the list of commonly used descriptors about it, I immediately decided I wanted nothing to do with a hop that expresses citrus, tangerine, coconut, tropical fruit, stone fruit, CEDAR, MINT, CREAM and HERBAL. And fair or not, Hazy IPA confirmed my expectations that it's a horror show strain. Yuckers!
But the other two brews, I don't know if I was tasting abused beers, beers that simply aged way out in three months, or just bad brews. Or a combination. In any case the experience will not be forgotten. It's not like I look for Stone when I'm on the road, but I definitely won't now...

Always a sad story when trying something new, but also, thanks for the hop warning.

"Beer Culture' is Culture!
Not drunk or rambling, but big shout out to 59% of 33,000 men/women who finally woke up and realized if they didn't vote 'yes' we would all be scrwed for the holidays, and the next offer would be sh*t. I can now breathe a bit easier (and maybe fill the grain bins). Gonna brew a nice brown this weekend, because I can, and the wonderful husband likes it. Yay!!!!
Are we referring to Boeing?
Yep. Won't say much because I don't want this post deleted, but husband was NOT one of the ones digging his heels in about the (word that rhymes with dension). We all knew it wasn't going to fly.
Well glad it is getting worked out. Leaving it at that as well...
My father worked for Boeing for what had to be close to 30 years and another 1/2 doz as a consultant after he retired. He was an instructor and certified to teach just about everything by the time he retired - hence the need to pull him back as a consultant.
He loved to get out and go to all the sites and teach across the country and work first hand with just about everyone that he met from the floors.
Best of luck and hang in there.

Here's a hearty toast to technology from a hardcore technologist and total fan
My beloved Spousal Unit of (counts fingers) 46 years now woke up this morning at 4 am, took a shower with some prescribed anti-everything soap for the 3rd day in a row, then we headed over to the hospital in historic Concord, MA, where starting at 8 AM and ending at 10AM she had a "minimally invasive" robot-assisted total hip joint replacement performed - successfully by all appearances.
And after a few hours recovering (from the anesthesia, mostly) and some introductory PT exercise demonstrations, I was allowed to bring her home this afternoon, where I fed her one of her favorite dinners, then hit her with her collection of prescribed pharmaceuticals and OTCs, and just now tucked her away for the night.
Freakin' amazing what can be done on an "out patient" basis
Cheers!

Brew on
"Outpatient?" That is amazing! I must have slept through news of that being the current practice.
There is nothing "minimally invasive" about a hip replacement. Even if a robot does it on an outpatient basis. Good luck with the rehab.
BTW, that's a lot of fingers.
BTW, that's a lot of fingers.
I guess the "minimally invasive" simply describes the length of the scar
The tech that made this a 2 hour in-and-out is pretty impressive. CT scans defined both the geometry of the custom hardware and the required robotic milling of the femur and hip bones to fit it all precisely and avoid pounding the crap out of the patient. As a result she's up and rolling her walker around the house this morning and hasn't even needed to take an Oxy so far!

My aunt broke her hip taking down Christmas decorations a couple of years ago and had a total replacement. They had her back riding her bike around the retirement community within two months. She was pushing 90 at the time.

Good to hear it went well! Good luck and speedy recovery to your Beloved! ... My mum-in-law has had 2 of her joints replaced and I know this means you'll be extra-busy so Good Luck to you as well!
In case you haven't already planned for this part: Readily available healthy food... I know that once the pain hits and the drugs are needed, her schedule will go off kilter and planned eating times are tossed to the wind. My GF and I used her mums surgery as an excuse to buy the largest ham from a local 'ham-specialist' just so we could get the bone (and enough meat to share for sandwiches).. My GF made a vat of split-pea & ham soup so her dad could just throw it in a pot and heat it up and I made a massive amount of Hummus.
There is one thing I keep forgetting to do though now she is all healed up; I keep forgetting to bring over some fridge magnets to see if they will stick to her.......when the time is right!
