Not exactly hungover this morning, but not exactly not hungover, either. When you’re maybe slightly hungover, but not entirely sure it’s not the Rona. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actual thought this morning: "OH THANK GOD, that's right, I drank too much last night." Still took my temperature. 97.4 in one ear, 98 in the other baby!

ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Definitely fewer cars on the road today. And it’s eerily quiet at times. I ran down to the gas station for my coworker to get him a biscuit, people still finding it necessary to buy scratch off lottery tickets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUDub 11,148 Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 I'm at the VA here in Birmingham doing a membrane replacement on a portable RO, lot of hurry up and wait, so I've walked around the block a few times. Funny how few people are out and about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 New brewery in Memphis. Just popped up on the radar yesterday. No real info about them either. The owner decided he wanted to “ghost release” his two beers this week. Supposedly brewing out of “the old” Lazy Magnolia brewery. Odd. Beer is damn juicy. I wouldn’t classify it as a hazy IPA, but galaxy, citra, and mosaic are bangin. Name of the beer is a spin off of Memphis rap legends 8ball and MJG’s Space Age Pimpin’. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of the hop profile without the haze. Cool can. Love embracing local culture. Is this the equivalent of dropping a mix tape?? Interesting.

ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 So we have our front section of the store taped off. 3 customers in at a time. We’re grabbing bottles for people. If they want to shop—tough s***. Seems to be working fairly effectively, customers are getting in and out quickly. Most people are understanding, but old men really don’t like being told what to do. And one girl, “oh that whole quarantine thing. I just wanted to use your restroom”. GTFOH. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Last minute customer, potentially buzzed, last night: “this is all chicanery and BS, you know that, right?” Me: “well, I’m not taking any risks. Your total is XX” Customer: “I was in Iraq do I get a discount?” Me: “This isn’t Iraq. Here’s your total have a nice night we’re trying to close.” Then he went on to tell me he’s secret intel for the navy and about to be a border guard. He’s been “about to be a border guard” for the past year or two. Edit: Since that sounded cold, I suppose I should say that I have the utmost respect for those that have served for the country. I don’t respect people who are outright spreading conspiracy theories and lies and downplaying this pandemic.

And when people continuously test boundaries, you have to make them more and more rigid. I didn't have any interesting beer this weekend. But I drank a lot of beer this weekend.

Tiger Refuge 6,663 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) I made shrimp and grits. Washed it down with a Commotion APA from Great Raft.

Made me forget about the pandemic for a few minutes. Okay, so the bacon and green onion applications are gangster. And mushrooms? Go on and flex, my dude. NICE. We've continued to eat well. That's been a bright spot. I encourage everyone to look into having a really nice meal shipped in from somewhere, if it's an option for you. McWifey has been shouldering a major burden through all this with the kids and still trying to do her job. I might've mentioned elsewhere, but I asked her what her bucket list meal would be from anywhere in the country. She said a lobster dinner from Legal Seafood. Well, they're fully shut down ATM, but I found a place in Maine that had all the stuff. (There are many to choose from.) 2 days later, we get 4 live lobsters, 2 things of clam chowder, and 6 live oysters. (They forgot to put the 2 lbs of clams I ordered in the shipment- still waiting to hear back about that.) It made Mrs. Loof very, very happy. And it was so easy. Expensive, sure, but considering that we took a trip out into the world out of the equation, drank our own inexpensive wine, didn't have to tip, and it was live Maine lobsters... yeah, we'll be doing more of these. Thinking maybe Dinosaur BBQ from New York for the next one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
