Tiger Refuge 6,670 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) I’m not sure what has happened to me today. I have made two batches of simple syrup...hibiscus and lavender. Then we went to Olive Garden and I totally crushed a couple 16oz Blue Moons. And they were orangy delicious. And I’m not even apologizing.

I guess because it didn’t taste a like f’in juice box. Well, kudos to FT for not caving. They “reformulated” it to make its appearance more consistently hazy, but the taste is really nice. Classic APA, billed as a “Louisiana Pale Ale”. Clean, dry, grapefruit/orange peel. Supposedly sessionable at 6%😳. Crazy that you could offer one beer described this way, and then offer another described as "SO JUICY and HAZY and JUICYHAZY and YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SEE THE SUN IF IT WAS RIGHT BEHIND THE GLASS" and the bros would choose the latter one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,368 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I have to say this is the first disappointing beer I’ve had from Untitled Art. Uber sweet. And yes, the most amount of sediment I’ve ever seen in a beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDub 11,153 Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 Haven't posted much lately. Career change incoming.

Right now I'm a pretty well rounded Biomed, but this job will almost exclusively be RO and DI water purification for dialysis units and the like. Bit of a learning curve, but I'll get to shadow the guy I'll be replacing for a few months prior to taking over. But it's a 25 foot box truck, which means I'll need log miles for DOT purposes and the like. Also means going through weigh stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a ton. Border to border Alabama with a smidgen of the panhandle, so at most a 6 hour one way drive for the required work. Could make a lot more money if I'm willing to live in the truck too. Has major upsides. I'd basically be my own boss. Closest direct superior is in Atlanta, and I'd only have to go there rarely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,670 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Pine Chi IPA at Natchez Brewing Co. one of the best beers I’ve had in a while. Smooth, juicy. Great mouthfeel. Pineapple with a coconut finish. Just delicious. About as close to a piña colada mixed with IPA that you could get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDub 11,153 Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Funny story from yesterday. I accepted the position Thursday, conditional of a BG screen and drug test. Went for the drug screen that afternoon. Yesterday, I'm trying to close my month out before going on vacation next week. I'll turn in my notice the day I get back. Our secretary is out sick and our director, Kelvin, is taking a personal day. Hence, I am the biomed operator for the day. Get a call around 1:00pm: Dub: "Biomedical Engineering." Dude: "Hi. May I speak to Kelvin Knight?" Dub: "I'm afraid he's out today. May I take a message?' Dude: "I'm looking for somebody in employment verification." *beat* Dub: "...for a background check?" Dude: "Yes." (another beat) Dub: "For Jesse Benson at Children's of Alabama?" Dude: "Um, yes." (yet another beat) Dub: "I am the one you're trying to verify. Here's the number for HR. They can verify my employment." Cat almost got out of the bag there lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
