Pepsi? Really?

I can see Dr Pepper, but Pepsi? Seriously?

[Mad Mac]

At least nugi has a friend to drink with. Evidently the rest of us drink alone.

Meanwhile, back at the Super Bowl, after years of heartwarming commercials with Clydesdales and Dalmatians, Budweiser chose to waste their five million dollar spots on snarky ads shaming Miller and Coors for using corn syrup.

Have no fear, my beer swilling comrades. The brewing process removes the sugars and the result is... wait for it... almost there... beer!

Back in the bad old days, Bud was considered an inferior beer because they use rice. Anheuser Busch is the largest purchaser of rice in the United States. Pick your poison.

And to Budweiser I say, bring back the Clydesdales and Dalmations.

Didn't need the clipitool but used it anyways..
Probably the best American beer you can get your hands on in Norway.
Dogfish head does not export beer to europe, if they did one of their Ipa's would have been the best, at least for me.
How do you know you SAY?, i was in New york a couple of years ago and tasted them all, i even bought an extra suitcase which i filled with dogfish head beers and brought with me home (probably the most expensive beer i ever bought) :)
So i have to make do with Stone brewery.. This was actually brewed in Berlin tough.

When I was in high school in the early 60s, I can remember listening to the Daytona 500 on the radio with a classmate. His people were Ford people. Mine Chrysler. Back then, stock cars were actually production cars. That stopped with the end of the homologation rule in 1970 and that is when I lost interest in NASCAR. Now we can watch the races on TV. Hard to believe televised races did not start until 1979. So what does this have to do with beer, you ask.

Busch beer has made 40 beer cans out of sheet metal and carbon fiber from the 2018 race car driven by Kevin Harvick to observe their 40th anniversary of sponsoring the Daytona 500 this year. Viewers today have a chance to win a few of the cans by tweeting answers to trivia questions aired during the race. Good luck with that.

You Vikings don't know your own strength.

It's a bit chilly yet to be thinking about a Summer Shandy,
but in my ceaseless search to bring you new brews
I found this lemony pilsner. Skol!

Hi Kristi, thank you for Reading and answer my post. As a selfproclaimed knifeabuser I am not faulting the product, It Was a stuck screw on my mudbox That did It and i should Have found a better suited tool. I see now That my post could be viewed as a complaint, That Was not my intention. I Will try to be more critical about what i post, I am very satisfied with the spyderco products i own, and thats why i keep buying Them. :)

Here's to the last wintry blast of the season, we can hope.

Clever Norseman. That might sell.

Meanwhile, Wednesday was the vernal equinox.
I toasted winter farewell, removed the top and doors from my Jeep Wrangler
and enjoyed the first day of spring.

The scalloped carving on the stick in the picture was done by a beaver.
Could that be the inspiration for scalloped knife scales?

Recently I returned from a visit to Owasso, Oklahoma, with some craft beer brewed in Tulsa.

The deer antler above is a "shed". It's hard to believe, but bucks lose their antlers every year and grow a whole new rack. The explosive growth has been traced to the same type of cell found in cancer tumors. Sheds are difficult to find in this neck of the woods because critters eat them. This one has had the tips gnawed off by the squirrels in my yard.

In a restaurant in Owasso, I had my 6-year old grandson ask the waitress for a Moose Drool.
It's from Montana but I knew he would get a kick out of it.

While visiting Owasso, we drove a stretch of historic Route 66 and then stopped to eat at a popular Mexican restaurant. Previously on this thread, I've pictured the Standard with three different varieties of Corona, but none of which was a Corona Light. Now that gap is filled, and a Corona gets its lime.

This is the other beer I imported from Oklahoma and finished last week.

This weekend, it was a little difficult to get out to the picnic table.



That is not snow. It's hail.

To take nothing away from the cleverness and innovation of Spyderco I think it needs to be mentioned that any Spyder hole can be used to pry a bottle top with minimal effort..

Over the years I've opened countless bottles mainly with my Caly 3s while holding bottle neck by wedging my non dominant index fingers main knuckle under the cap and, using that as a pivot, with dominant hand wedging the crest of the spyder hole both directly on top of said knuckle and against the bottom edge of bottle cap.

Lever it up a couple times against your finger and cap's popped.

Guessing others do this, too, but seems to have been lost in this thread.

Beers look good btw.
