Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #185: Summer Activities

Had a good afternoon at church. A couple buddies actually showed up, right at opening, so we were the guinea pigs of sorts for the beers (got standard flights*, not full beers, so we could have all the Sam Adams available). Manager was tossing out some swag, took our pic for promo purposes and such, fun times.

*Flight: a serving that consists of a number of 4oz glasses of different beers. Standard flight is 4 glasses of 4 oz each, although they can range from 1 glass to 9 glasses, in my experience.

Isn't the point of those pics to bring in more customers? As in, Hey, look at these cute girls at this bar! Maybe if we go there, we'll run into some high class talent like that ourselves!

If it helps, I was probably the ugliest of the bunch. Due to the weather and the lack of fanboy-ism of Sam Adams, it wasn't that crowded at all today. So, take what you can get.

It doesn't matter if you're the ugliest guy. There's a subset of guys will still go to these things - even if Sam Adams can't produce the draw of other breweries - but there's also that set of guys, generally younger who will want to go somewhere because of the pictures of cute girls they see at that place while looking around on the line. The only type of place that should be posting pics of middle aged men on the line are places where their customers are old enough to say "on the line" or are looking for a good time with the glockenspiel.

Yeah, it wasn't even that today. It was the regulars, and maybe a few stragglers at the Plymouth location. I guarantee if it was Surly? Hour wait, an hour before it even opened.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #185: Summer Activities

How can Saturday be a Tuesday :mad: and tomorrow looks to be yet another Tuesday. :mad: :mad: :(
On a good note- got to see a baby loon crawl onto its mother's back today and be fed fish. Love my long lens. Looked like it was right next to me.
Nighty night nocturnal ones.

I don't see those pictures on FB yet! Quit slacking off and post them! 😉
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #185: Summer Activities

We had a potluck this evening at work for one of the nurse's birthdays and a doctor from elsewhere in the hospital showed up and has been grazing for an hour. He doesn't even have any patients in our department (or any potential patients). What a jerk.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #185: Summer Activities

Good morning Lodge. Back from Chicago. I'm tired. I initially had a 3pm flight home, but we had tickets to the US Women's Soccer game at noon so my boss told me to check and see about changing my flight to a later one. Found out you can do a same day flight change for just $75. Which is much better than officially changing a flight for $200 plus the cost of the difference in fare. So I did that, booking myself on a 6:36 flight. Left for O'Hare about 4:15. Ten minutes into the drive, I get notification that the flight is delayed 39 minute, now leaving at 7:15. OK, not too bad. Will give me a chance to get to the gate, get something to eat, charge my phones.

Sitting there charging my phone and reading a book and get a notification that the delay is now 1 hour and 39 minutes, now leaving at 8:15. Greeeeaaat. I tweeted to American to ask why, they responded that the crew for this flight was on a delayed flight coming in. Pain in the butt, but that happens. 8:15 became 8:35, then 8:45. We were wheels up at 9:20. Landed a little after midnight, got home close to 1am. Thank God today is Sunday.

And it's gray and cool, so I'm going to go food shopping and maybe cook a few things today. Or I may just nap. Will let you know later.

I'm rooting for nap! Go nap go! :p

Pretty big storm rolled through early this morning. Actually woke me up, and anyone who knows me knows THAT is quite the accomplishment. Skies are clearing now, hoping to drop the top on The Fifth when I head to my bro's later on.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #185: Summer Activities

We must have got a hell of a storm here while I was gone. I came home very late Friday night, got up yesterday morning, to see branches and twigs everywhere, and someone sawing on a tree across the street. They're still sawing right now. I was 15 miles north, and all I heard was a little bit of thunder and some rain.

Thanks! Made it out of the clubhouse spending less than $100. However, for a weekend I was planning to "take it easy" after a long 4th of July weekend, Friday night was a pretty long night.:p

Tomorrow is the day I start the new job! Really excited!
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #185: Summer Activities

Good Afternoon Lodge! Not as Tuesday as I thought although that is from work on my part.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #185: Summer Activities

Another lazy day of trapping cute animals in baseballs.

Surly is worth a wait like that. Sam Adams, for the most part, is garbage beer.
