have some nice ales.

And if you are ever in the UK try Bishops Finger by Shepherd Neame. Scrumptious.

You work and study hard, and relaxation is very important.

Cheers!

I put in 8 hours today at work starting at 5am. I normally wouldn't have to work that long on a Saturday, but I had to get all of my customers set up for the big storm just in case work gets cancelled. I sincerely hope it does. The high temperature is only going top be negative 6 here on Monday falling down to 15 below later that night.

But I'll have a look-see and try it out if I can find it. If I do I'll let you know what I think.

Beer isn't earned, it's only rented...or something like that.

... with a tip o' the hat to Oscar Wilde.

Enjoy the beer, whatever brand is at hand.

Just remember: don't drink and operate a snow-thrower.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Tomorrow, I'll be enjoying one during the 49ers - Packers game.

Note: Aaron Rodgers grew up in the Podunk city where Sierra Nevada is brewed - Chico California.

I'll give it a spin sometime and see how it handles.

My Bengals are playing tomorrow in a snow storm. It could have the makings of a classic outdoor game.
