I had done some work in Stony Brook campuses and have gone into the drop ceiling and have found dozens of beer can with the original pop tops schmidts ,Shaffer . When I was young coors was hard to get in the east and it became a big deal then .
We have over 50 craft brewer's on Long Island

Yes,its way different today. We had regular domestic beer or imports. Now there are as many craft breweries as in Europe.

Slight drizzle. My wild peacocks, (Fancy Pants and Beau) are in my garage. I leave the door open so the wildies don't get all wet. One day we had a peacock and a possum waiting out the rain.

O frabjous day! My skinny, five-foot tall peach tree has 7 purty purply-pink blooms onnit for the first time ever.

I've got a bar room buddy that drinks that stuff on tap. He was drinking one he said was a IPA or something like that. I got a little taste tester glass of it. Had to go home and lick the dogs butt just to get the taste outta my mouth.

Last time I tried to grow a peach tree was about ten years ago. I got ONE peach . It was about the size of a nickel. Had a pit no bigger that a pea. I tooken a pic. Lemme see if I can find it. (Squirrels got the rest.) This is not a fake distance photo thing. Nickel size.

very cool ! When my niece had her communion I bought a apple tree that had five strains they grafted into one tree. She is 24 now and the tree is over 10 feet tall and the deer just love the variety ...

 

[Hippie420]

Had one do the same thing a hundred years ago. Cleaned the contacts and put a tiny bit of that dialectic grease on the contacts. The world was lovely for many years after.

I was growing peaches up too last year and the thing got so loaded down it broke some big ass branches. Red Skin peaches are awesome. I trimmed it way back and I think the fker bit the dirt. Peaches are a pain in the ass to grow and are horrible about bugs.

The first time I tasted an IPA, Bells Two hearted ale, I described as tasting like sour dish sponge. As I delved deeper into craft brews I finally developed the tase\te for them and they became my favorite. Towards the end of my drinking career, I started liking pale ales and stouts.

I've got a Kenmore that's almost 30 yrs old. Works like it was new. Only thing I had to do was put a valve on it to recharge it one time and I changed the fan on it. Cost maybe 250 bucks.

Speaking of beer in 1978 I worked for a electrical contractor who had a customer named Hans Holterbosch, the first importer of Lowenbrau beer. His main house was 76 rooms his quest house was 80. He had over 50 cars in various garages and 1 full time mechanic . His caretakers house was 4500 sq ft. Some where in life there is a picture of me squeezed into one of his cars ( a Ferrari ) He had over 20k of different fuels in the ground . He lived in Cove Neck where Avianca plane 52 came down ..
