They’re pretty excellent. We have a stockpile of Blushing Monk. My wife loves it. I do, too.


Any chance you have it for a backup?

There's a Sunoco up in White Lake, NY that used to have Breakfast Stout on tap, and you could fill growlers of it. That's how our ski team got through college nationals. Founders has only just gotten out to the western states, but we had it a lot back in CT. Currently I have a Founders Wizard of Koz, a Deschutes Abyss (2015? 2016?), 3 Ninkasi Ground Controls (2015), and 3 Ninkasi Ground Controls (2017) in my "collection", plus some 25 year old Single Malt. Then there's the Stoli and Jaeger and Bulleit for regular consumption.

Faux pas admission time.

Yesterday I was talking to one of the Execs (a large gay man) about his Christmas plans, he grew up on a farm in the west of NSW.
Another person made some enquiry about what they grew there.

In my head I mentioned that they had wheat growing in the back paddock, unfortunately it came out something like an enquiry on the wheat in his back passage.

Oh dear
 
To be fair, I went with the most depressing angle I could get for effect. Though I fully understand why there are so many liquor stores and taverns in town. If I lived here, I would up my drinking game considerably
It is safer in the taverns there!

And DO NOT think about taking your girlfriend
to Mount Rushmore!

"Alex, I'll take classic American films set in South Dakota, for $200".

Note: I was mistaken about the famous crop duster scene. It was meant to be set in Indiana, not South Dakota (but I think that the sight gag still works as we had crop dusters in the flat farm country of Minnesota too).

My Eminar 100 is switchable 16/8/4 ohms; but you have to open it up to change the setting. I have it at 8 and with a 410. When (if) I get a second cab I’ll consider having it modded to make it switchable from the rear panel
I've never seen a 16 ohm bass amp, at least not a recent one! Hell, I don't think I've seen a 16 ohm bass cab either!
 
Gotta say that in our rehearsal space there’s a ‘65 P Bass and I find it sexy as hell. It’s got flats, which I’ve never felt before (weird yet cool), and it’s backwards (righty), though the thumb rest gave me a literal thumb rest.

One mans tug bar is another mans thumb rest
 
It has been getting that way lately. I still love him though. I did a scene in the movie for him about 8 years ago, I got to hang out with him for an hour with three other hockey players. His son is world class as well. Don calls me "The Hangman" because of my role in the movie. Im the goalie.

That's crazy man!

Was that Jared Keeso (from Letterkenny) at the end of that scene?

Yeah, he's a really cool guy. Thomas Steens youngest son is in there somewhere and I show up in a few other places and Don has a short cameo as a training room assistant. Stephen McHattie is Eddie Shore, he's an awesome guy too.

Been on a Founders kick for a while along with some co-workers. KBS, DKML, and Backwoods Bastard have been recent favorites.
