What beer are you drinking now? #4947

Thoughts and prayers for your friend. I hope things go smoothly

 

Thanks. It’s in the surgeon’s hands now.

 

At the risk of repeating myself again tonight, this beer needs help. Good thing is it is the last of the six pack. Strange phenomena though, I do not find this last one all that bad. Yep, just proves I am crazy.

 

Hmm im not opposed to that and of course I would return the favor....just no Proclamation anymore

 

Well there is a little helper

 

Closer for this beer noob. Cellar pull and many thanks to @CarolinaCardinals for this BA Barley from Burial! It's a "school night", I know but was really in the mood for this style and holy wow!! (@Beersnake would be lovin' on this one! )



Also learned today that a house three streets over in our development was broken into over the weekend and all their jewelry was stolen. Beefing up the security in the Beer Garden (and the appropriate cellar pull based on the beer label):



Mean people suck. !

 

Still at Revolution - Edward Peach BA stout on brandy barrels. Terrible!

Cheers...

 

It is a great place.

First time I went to OBX was 1973. There was only one bridge for both in bound and outbound traffic. When you got there you could only go south (right turn) towards Kitty Hawk (did you check that out) and Nags Head. There was no Duck, or Corolla. Just dirt roads and a few small houses.

A lot has changed. Wife and I spent our honeymoon in OBX 1974. Anyway, been there probably a hundred times. Family spent many a summer vacation there. OBX is one of our favorite places. I am going with my oldest daughter and her family there this Friday for a long Mother’s Day’s weekend. I will post some pics.

 

Not sure why but those conjectures up the words mothers little helper. Those words must have been in an old song. Stones?

 

We used to go there as kids and rented two bungalows with another family. Right on the beach in Nags Head. The name of the place was the Clay-Don and we have alot of stories from those time. Including my mom and dad got caught in a riptide with another couple and drifted out to sea where we as kids were standing on the beach and they were almost out of sight. The Coast Guard was called but the other couple had a small raft/lounge. All four got on one side and kicked their way in. The CG copter arrived minutes later looking for them but they were already in. True story. Loved riding the cardboard down the world's largest sand dune as well

 

I am sure all will go well. Docs have this thing down to a precise science. That said, quadruple bypass is serious and not child’s play. The dude will have to be sure to listen and do whatever his docs say so that everything lasts many decades to come.

 

Yessir correct. 'Coming from the shelter of her mother's little helper' I believe was the line.
"What a drag it is getting up"

 

Kitty Hawk is great. Love the Outer Banks and thanks so much for sharing your history there. A truly special place
Cheers!

 

The Wright Brothers museum is cool too. Amazing they flew that homemade machine off of the dunes

 

Having a tall Sip
Cheers!

 

The riptides in OBX are horrible. Too many folks drown as a result. As a stupid 20 something I thought I was too tough but found out that wasn’t true when I got caught in the edge of one.

Jockeys Ridge. Not sure I could climb it anymore but did for a few decades with the kids.

Did you visit the Wright Brothers museum?

 

So good to hang with some BA peeps.
