Sharing another of the creamy Irish beer postings this morning. Ah, a Guinness Extra Stout. My beer re-frig is stock full of them. I have been refraining from picking up any more beers til I thin the herd.

This morning after snow-blowing and completing the shoveling I indulged by sipping a beer. After completing snow removal the reward of a dark beer seems appropriate. I liken it to hot summer lawn mowing and the reward of a cold amber beer. This is just done in the snow. Kipas to more snow!

Cheers, Eric -

I was out watching the 2 hawks circle the lake and shoreline working on their dinners. Great way to spent a late Sunday afternoon. BTW: A change of hat to a Stetson Scoop. I am staying with the gray theme.

I tip my mug (Colombian Coffee (single origin & medium roast) with a splash of 12% butter fat half and half ) in your direction folks.

Cheers, Eric -

Home and enjoying watching the moon that is nearly full moon (in Minnesota 12/29/20). I looked it up and this phase is called a Waxing Gibbous phase. (This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon.)

I am sipping a Founders Porter this evening.

For this new relationship to ever work you need to establish some boundaries.

If you haven't seen the scene from The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, you need to watch it.
Reminds me of a construction foreman I once worked for. If you couldn't take a punch and shot of whiskey, he didn't want you on his crew.

Having a Black Magic Stout, from Oggis, the local tap room. 7.6 abv, with a flavor not as dry as Guinness. Toasted barley up front, followed by subtle, but noticeable hops. Perfect for a cool evening! The cedar brown Camp Draft fit the bill today. View attachment 296165

Wow, DD! Can’t speak to the beer but the pic composition and lighting has me looking for one. The CBCD is the perfect hat compliment. Great job.

If you were a member of the Ironworkers union walking the big steel & you were caught drinking a seltzer or a hard lemonade on the job, you wouldn't have been kicked off the jobsite, you would have been kicked out of the union.

This is the Bourbon you should give a new son-in-law: The Walking Dead!

Many years ago, cutting center flows in flood channels with dozers. The desert was kind of like the wild west back then. Times, and views of such things have changed, probably for the best.

Ironworkers, heavy equipment operators union, probably miners & a few others continue to look the other way on such issues. Regardless of the good money it's hard to get young guys coming in at the bottom. It's almost become a generational thing.

You are absolutely right. Many of my former coworkers sons, are equipment operators. My son in law is an operator and tells me that people just aren't applying for entry positions.
