Thank you for sharing. I was (and am still, to some extent) that kind of guy too, but my fiancee has really helped me unlearn my unhelpful habits of bottling stuff up and ignoring stuff.
I thought when I got the kegerator I would get bored of drinking the same thing all the time, but the actual result has been casually killing a keg in ~ 2 weeks. Once I get a house I’m for sure going to keep a can/beer fridge and/or multi-keg system, too.
Yeah, man, that’s fucked up. I think in the close to twenty years I’ve been hunting, there’s never been more than a beer or two cracked on a given hunting day and even that rarely. If you need a drink, clean the birds or hang up the deer, and just go to the bar.
My fiancee’s college friend is in town so we’re going with some tangential friends on a brewery/bar crawl. Tomorrow we have tickets to Infinity War at Alamo Drafthouse in the early afternoon. Hopefully Sunday we’ll get our wedding date/venue finalized.
I drive so infrequently in Denver that when I actually drove to work a couple Thursdays ago, I forgot about it until Sunday when my car was missing from my garage. Lucky it was only $60 for three nights of parking in the downtown garage. I definitely love having a vehicle to get to the mountains though.
When talking with older colleagues (and especially partners and vendors) about life outside work, saying “fiancée” seems much more like I have my shit together and can be trusted with important shit than saying “girlfriend”, so it’s kinda a wash for me. I’m not at all agreeing with the accuracy of that, just saying that’s how it seems to go across with baby boomers.
I made a weakass G&T in a 20 oz. glass and enjoyed a nice long bath yesterday and caught up on some reading. Some herbal remedies may also have been in play. I know I’m not exactly wilding, but it does let you unwind a bit in the afternoon without paying for it Sunday night.
Telluride Blues & Brews has the best of both worlds. Plus Telluride is one of the prettiest places in America, if you don’t mind driving several hours through the mountains or have daddy’s jet handy.
GABF is a hell of a lot of fun. I’d been to a few beer festivals before that with larger taster glasses, so I questioned only getting ~1 oz pour at a time right away. You’re still going to get shithoused, don’t worry folks.
That said, if you’re looking for a cheaper buzz, there are a lot of cheaper unlimited beer festivals out there.
On the topic of dinner, according to my dad who was raised on a farm and possibly born in a barn, “dinner” is the noon-meal and “supper” is the evening meal. He does not distinguish based upon amount or type of food served. I, however, have always found “lunch” to be the noon meal and used “dinner” or “supper” to refer to the evening meal. I defer to him when I visit home, because he is old.

Peeing on a bus seat, also not the move.

We either go to Alamo Drafthouse these days or don’t go at all. Reserved seats, beer/cocktails, and actual food delivered to your seat.

This… is accurate.
Take a regimen of Prilosec OTC and avoid pepperoni for a week and you’ll be good as new (at least for a month or two).
This guy can’t cook.

Hadn’t seen that quote. I love Steve Earle even more than before, if that’s possible.
I’m know it’s just a typo, but George Straits would be a fucking kickass George Strait/Dire Straits fusion cover band.
That’s like calling a three way a gangbang, dude.

That is 100% what I was expecting.

Why not both?
