One more reason to like beer

Last night I got done baling with the old Gehl big round baler, well, being from Wisconsin I was required by law to have a cold beer and relax for a minute. After the prerequisite 2 beers we smelled something like burning hay. Found the bottom bearing on the big belt had gone away and the hay chaff was smoldering. A couple more minutes and who knows, I would have come back to a charred hulk. The moral of the story is this is just one more reason to like beer. LOL
 
AND your supporting your local economy by purchasing beer from your local liquor store. That's a double good deed right there. Glad your baler didn't burn!
 
Just be careful when Cocktail Hour is in relation to Work Time--buddy of mine's neighbor was bored one day and volunteered to rake his hay. Buddy took back a 12-pack of Rocky Mountain Rehydration Fluid for him. Time the hay was raked, the 12-pack was gone and my buddy said it would have broke a snake's back to follow the windrows in the middle of the field.....
 
So did you use the beer to cool off the baler?? If you did thats a shame waste of a good beer. If you did you should have just payed the rent on the beer and cooled it down by peeing on it. LOL

Don't blame him- hay raking can be very thirsty business. Sent the Mrs. over to rake one time, on the JD H the neighbor always lent us for haying. Field was about a mile and half away, and she set out in 100 degree heat, not knowing that the H could only do about 3 MPH flat out, and forgetting to take water. By the time she got there, raked a couple hours, and made the trip back, she was HOT, and she was STEAMED. Strode right by me with a glare but nary a word- got a brew out of the fridge and drank the whole thing in one gulp. Typical rookie mistake by me- I should have utilized the time to leave the immediate area until she was in an improved state of mind. I've learned, since.
 
After having drunk enough beer in my younger days to float the proverbial battle ship, it dawned on me about 20 years ago that I really don't like beer anymore.

I do keep a bottle of blackberry brandy in my shop for medicinal purposes--in case I cut my finger or something.
 
Reminds me of the old Monty Python joke...

"Why is American Beer like making love in a Canoe?"


- So using it to put out a fire is not that far of a streach...
 
I like beer, it makes me a jolly goof fellow. Hear that song every Sunday on 98.1. I still drink ber, respectfully. Most all mistakes I have made in my life were made under a beer saturated brain. If we go out be it 2 hours or 7, I have 2 beers and then I quit. If at home, well, then if chores and machine work are all done I enjoy till the chips and jerly are gone and I am not thirsty. I drink the good beers, Mich golden light, miller light, and Keystone light. When I can find Hamms, I buy it, and drink. Loved them commercials, thats why I like the beer. My wife likes that dark, thick, muddy looking beer. I keep telling her shes gonna grow hair in places only monkeys do, but she tells me to go away! Strange chicks them Ramey/morril area farm girls.
 
That one is obsolete thanks to Sam Adams beer, they've been kicking butt in beer competitions all over the world.
 
I heard that beer contains alcohol and alcohol kills your brain cells. But it kills the weak ones first, that is why people talk smart after they have a few.
 
I guess my knowledge of beer history was way off. I don't know about God bless the Iraqi's, though, at least not the bad ones. Older son survived 5 tours of duty over there for which I am very thankful. Younger son is a US Army Ranger with 3 tours under his belt so far,(high value targets only). Has 4 more years to go under his present enlistment with a projected 5 more tours in either Afghanastan and/or Irag before he's done. God bless America.

I do like beer. I would get one out of the fridg, open it and let Frannie have the first sip. Now that I am widowed it just isn't the same. I sure do miss her.

My hometown of St. Louis is in an uproar. This is the home of Bud , the King of Beers and Busch the best selling beer in the midwest. We play baseball in Busch Stadium, we go to Grant's Farm (Home of Ulysees S. Grant and now the home of the Busch Family.) And we drink Michelob , Bud , Bud lite and Busch. Sadly INBEV the European Giant has made a $65 a share bid for our Beloved Anheuser Busch. The Family and the Shareholders are in conflict , lawsuits are flying and our gentle giant's future is uncertain. Augie Busch (now deceased) was this town's fair haired son. He'd ride the Clydesdale beer wagon into Busch Stadium before each Cardinal Game. The crowd roared.Look's like we may be at the end of that era.
 
I don't know if you guys know this obscure fact, but beer is the healthiest drink in the world!! Think about it. When you drink beer it looks the same going out as it did coming in. Flows straight thru!! No harmful chemicals left in your body!! Now think about them sissy green or red drinks. They don't look the same going out. Therefore there are chemicals retained in your body. I learned this many years ago and it still makes sense to me.

Do you fellas have a favorite beer. My departed Uncle Bud always said one of his favorite beers was cold beer and that the only thing better was free beer.
 
Where"s Roscoe ???? He needs to pipe in here..He sure got on the soap box when I mentioned I had barley pops in my soda machine...
 
following that logic MT. Dew should be the healthiest drink around.I know beer dose help prevent kidney stones so drink up!
