Good luck... I have tried 
, but seems like everyone would rather sleep 
on through the winter. After hibernation, maybe we will see some bear chatter...

I had just opened a tall cold bottle of Brookside beer, then the phone rang. A buddy from Seattle was broke down on the freeway and needed a rescue. Got him going again fine (just an alternator belt) but he was driving one of those imports that has been in the news a lot lately. And even worse, I forgot to put my still full beer in the fridge before I left and now its a tasty room temperature. A few minutes in the freezer and it will be good as new... Can't waste good beer.....

Right. After a few minutes in the freezer its good and tasty again. WOOHOO! I still think I should take that sumbitch up to the brewery and make him buy me a growler or two. I need something to relieve the stress of standing in front of one of those foreign cars that suffer from sudden acceleration.

Ya talked me into it Jack. Maybe I should just get a keg. I just found out how much work it is to replace the turn signal flasher in my Mercedes, and I would rather drink instead. Pull the steering wheel and instrument cluster to get to a flasher?? Where's my beer?

Aint that the truth! At least when I work on my truck I have a beer after I finish something. This car is my first experience with German engineering, and if I have to open the hood to do anything other than check the oil my head immediately fills with questions like, "What the?, How the? and Who the "F" came up with this?". My eyes start to glaze over, and I begin to drool thinking how much I would rather be having an ice cold beer.
Since it is never a good idea to work on anything with glazed over eyes or while drooling, I close the hood, go grab a beer and appreciate how straightforward my truck is to work on.

...guess if the beer is not cold enough then that is verified evidence of global warming rather than the anecdotal Gore explanations.
The way the Olympics are having a hard time with no snow, warm weather and rain... the snowboarding course is looking like a great place to four-wheel drive.
At least I am lucky to have a neighbor with a brewery connection... he has two 15 gal kegs and three 7.5 gal kegs tapped up in his garage, I just head over with a couple of growlers to fill up whenever I want... even have the combo to open the garage if they are not home. What more can I ask?
