Pre gaming for Mott the Lessor and I told myself I didn't need to buy beer this week. Visited TH today and saw this interesting thing at local farm stand

OT - (off topic) fall in new England. My brother who's a landscaper said this maple would die within a year when I bought the house. That was 25 years ago. Has a severe rooted trunk and taken hits by bigger beautiful trees that have taken a lot of others out but in fall? She's especially beautiful

We have a battered dogwood that looks about the same as your maple and similarly refuses to expire. We also have a much bigger maple that is riddled with ants and a red squirrel nest bored inside the trunk that inevitably is going to fall down one of these stormy winter days, but The Spousal Unit decided it reminds her of Venus De Milo and won't let me do anything to it. I just hope it falls away from the house :oops:

Cheers!
 
Errrr one of those bigger beautiful trees took out my furnace vent pipe in the spring. That hurt. Plus my lay-z boy is about 3' from impact. New furnace next week! A couple of my friends have told me to make a huge lawn and cut those big trees. Sometimes I wonnder

You'll notice some baby maples underneath it just in case
 
I had a suspicion you might be the "unindicted co-conspirator" :mug:
@pshankstar has a lot of friends. It was nice meeting him and his co-workers the other month at TH. Good people. Fun part was I'm having a good conversation on the side with one of his coworkers when he asked how I knew him. We're all having fun and I'm like who knows if I'll see this guy agsin. My reply

"I met @pshankstar on the internet"

Facial expression? Priceless

@day_trippr Ive met a far amount of people from HBT in person.
@MaxStout was the latest when he came to my area and we met up for lunch. We exchanged some home roasted coffee and he included some HBs.
Last November I finally got to meet @TheDudeLebowski as he mentioned. It’s crazy that was almost a year ago but we exchanged text messages on the regular.
Prior to that I’ve also met @RevKev and another fellow HBTer who’s account seems to be deactivated.
I’ll definitely try to meet up with others when I travel and can possibly make it work. @ThirstyPawsHB ans I tried to meet last year when I was in his neck of the woods but this thing called work ruined it all. 🤣
But going back to my TH check ins lately is due to a local friend who was in Boston for the Metallica concert in August. He was kind enough to bring back an order for me. But typically @TheDudeLebowski hooks me up. We have a good thing going. 👍🏽
 
Interesting that about the only place around here to get an authentic Vienna lager is from Mexico! Modelo sells a lot of this. You’d think maybe a couple of the European brewers would clue in, but noooooo!

That’s OK, I’m looking out for all you Vienna lovers and wannabes! Modelo produces their dark cerveza at a hearty 5.4% ABV. Very similar to the 1970’s pizza beers. This is a surprisingly refreshing and chuggable dark lager, more so than a lot of dark lagers. Not kidding you could hold this can in hand, pop the top, tip your head back a bit, open mouth wide and dump this entire 24 ounce can down the gullet! CHUG!

Really great having these available at most fine gas stations in California and the Southwest. Fill your tank, buy a couple cans and drink in a paper bag in the parking lot over by the dumpster while your wife waits in the car. Toss her the keys to drive and continue down the road. Enjoy!

You're not wrong about it being a great road tripping beer. When I did my cross country drive last winter I settled into an end of day routine that involved finding a local Latin American restaurant, ordering enchiladas, and knocking back a couple of Negra Modelos. They sure hit the spot after 14-16hrs behind the wheel of my small hairdresser's car.
