Drinking the best beer of my decade
I ate a tiny tiny tortilla wrap for breakfast. Then I went fishing all day. Sipping water and ate a handful of Brazil nuts. Dragged home hungry, tired , sore HUNGRY. Took a fast shower and asked my lovely wife, “ where are we eating dinner?”
“ no, we need to take Helen to the ER”. Now I’m sitting at the ER. A slow ER. I get it. They prioritized. I ordered a few pizzas from a great place across the street. It’s going to be a long night. I came to pick it up and the bartender hands me a beer. “ on me”. What?! I guess they saw me come from the hospital. Unbelievable. I live in a great town. And.  Btw, I called my neighbor s grandson. He said, “ call me if it’s serious”. Haha. He isn't coming!!! I think Helen is bummed. I’ll hug her.

Helen and I think you're the best!
Well done on taking care of your neighbor and that large mouth!

Consider your promotion and try not to think about the giant spider.

You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman. Helen is a lucky neighbor.
Good luck in your trip to the ER. |

Dang, that is a fat fish!
Good on you and your wife for helping a neighbor. After a full day of fishing out on the boat I am always tired, smelly, a bit windburned/sunburned etc. and just generally bushed. It was for moments like these that God invented the shower beer, most delicious of beers!

I'm sure you and your wife didn't think twice about it, being the people you are. I also think the guy across the street does that on a fairly regular basis. Nice guy.*

Helen is fine. No DVT! She had a cyst in the back of her knee she failed to tell anyone about. It caused the swelling. She now needs to follow up with her regular physician. I’m done. Goodnight.

This thread is worthless without a pitcher. Or at least the name/brand of the beer.
 Me so thirsty all of a sudden.

I hope it was some good German beer. As a teenager, I spent a summer in Europe and had a lot of great beer in Germany. After that, I couldn't drink beer in the US.

We had an ad on TV where the punch line was "That man deserves a beer."
You are that man. Or as we say in New Zealand "You is that man." |

You are indeed a good man Vash!
However, I was hoping for beer recommendations  I have to say after a day up in the mountains Black Butte Porter on tap is hard to beat!

 Seismic Shatter-Cone IPA. It’s a local beer. Wish I had time for two glasses.
