I miss beer.

 

[balrog]

Did I miss the declaration of abstinence?

 

[day_trippr]

"I sense a great disturbance in The Farce"

 

[Tipsy McStagger]

I miss beer.

I recommend whiskey.

 

[paulthenurse]

No abstinence, heaven forbid. Just no carbs. Whiskey is a viable option, as is vodka

Words you never thought would cross your lips... "I'm getting sick of bacon.".

However I did cross another xx0 threshold this week, so there's that.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

How's the wood fired quinoa oven doing?

 

[paulthenurse]

I miss pizza too.

And I saw what you did there.

I've heard say that "diets" that make the participant depressed, longing for real food & drink, are bound to fail, despite short term gains, or losses, as that seems to be goal. That's actually been "new news" since the late '70's.

Anyway, do what you got to do,... but we ain't calvinists around here are we,?... for the most part anyway....hopefully...

Or alternatively, as one of my last workplace bosses said to me, (back in the in the mid 80's) "get to work you slugs..." I always thought it was funny how he pretended to be kidding on that point, even....,,,,,sorry I guess I have digressed.

PS, I just re read this post, and probably makes no sense, but I got several minuts invested in writing it, so Happy Fryday campers.

 

[day_trippr]

Meh, I've read far less coherent posts here. No worries

 

[paulthenurse]

Gotta agree with Trippah, especially since I’m responsible for more than my share of those incoherent posts. It’s all good.

So my buddy Kim has been building a post and beam shed for some time now, I’ve been helping. This morning we forged the first of the door hinges. I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

This is the shed taken on the day we put the rafters up back in the fall

Is this a beer shed? or Storage shed?

 

[paulthenurse]

Who knows? We’ve been working on it for three years now. He calls it the Perpetual Project, I call it “Peace In The Middle East” (which will happen first, the shed gets finished or PITME?)

Escape From SWMBO-ville?

Sometimes, when I get sick of something, it helps if I change into something else

 

[paulthenurse]

I could wrap those fish in bacon...

Vodka is the Bud Light of hard liquor. No flavor.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Vodka has flavor. Just drink it with a pepperoni pizza and a beer.

 

[connell89]

LMAO. I always thought Everclear had no flavor.

 

[homebeerbrewer]

Burnt/raw flavor?

That's some nice forging there Paulie.Thats a skill we may need when the world devolves into the Game of Thrones.And you can make beer and pizza.You will have many wives.

While I do not have knowledge of how to memes and or fake photos, someone should put a nice liter sized beer bottle or flagon of some sort in the old guy's mittens. Bet that would help him with the cold a lot, and perhaps help his demeanor as well.

Good thing your fellers built it stoutly, you sittin on it and all. But it does look nice.

I'd make a semi enclosed brew "porch' out of it, which could be used for all sorts of fun stuff, hanging out in storms, add screens for mosquito season, maybe even have a pizza party..... Sulk away from your family outdoors but out of the elements,.. whatever...,

There are some interesting poly carbonate corrugated roofing panels on the market these days that I would consider for that, they have clear ones and colors that range in opaqueness. I think I'm going to alternate between clear and green semi light allowing on a structure I am planning. They even sell them at the box stores in the quantities you would need, makes it pretty easy.

 

[paulthenurse]

I don't think that's in the cards, too modern. He was initially talking about sheathing it in plywood. I told him I'd burn the thing down of he did. Eventually got a local sawmill to cut 1"x boards and will do horizontal board and batten siding. Probably will go with asphalt shingles, cedar would be pretty spendy.

 

[day_trippr]

Woof. Old School dump out here in the boonies. I'm looking at 15 inches perched on the deck railing and the flat ground below is likely deeper.
Fortunately it's "poofy" snow, and the steady winds are blowing it out of the trees, so (fingers crossed) no power outages tonight...

 

[balrog]

Ended up with only 10 here but within 5-10 miles either side of the Pioneer Valley they got a whalloping. I saw Bahstan with as little as none, and figured PTN must've walked out in the back yahd wanting to make a pizza and told Mother Nature to F off.

 

[day_trippr]

I took three depth readings out in the open and this was the shallowest. The towns surrounding us reported 14+, while some Stow nitwit phoned in a 9.1 <bullsheet! >

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

You aren’t whining about the snow, are you?
