ASPCB? I hope not, as long as optimized temperature is achieved I don't see a problem
Curious as to their stance on a vigorously shaken can and judicial application of a penknife?
To think.. all I ever used in my Yooth was a wastebasket and a CO2 extinguisher

Cures what ails you if it don't kill you first.
Or you can shave off the fuzzy parts and make a sweater.

Probably negative. Vigorous shaking (of beer) precludes smooth transfer of product to mug and affects the formation of a proper, frothy head. (Shaking of other things is beyond the purview of the ASPCB and better suited to martinis.) Overpressure of the storage container causes premature release of carbonation and when opened, wastes beer. Either way, one could argue alcohol abuse, which the ASPCB abhors.
Iffn the judiciary chooses to apply a penknife, the ASPCB recommends standing as far as possible from the container to avoid beer-stained robes.

Ugh! I feel the work week bearing down on me. Sunday evenings are tough.

Can't really say for sure. I have heard that people use neatsfoot oil to soften stiff leather.
Has anybody here ever heard of a ball point pen being called a biro?
I've used that term for as long as I can remember.
Just used it with my wife today, she never heard it before. I had to look it up on wikipedia to convince her that I wasn't just making it up.

The things you learn here...
And all this time I thought it was invented by a guy from France named BIC!
Had a busy coupla days.
Yesterday, me and Mrs. Snubby went for some water aerobics, a workout and a hike at a nearby resort. We had just renewed our annual membership.
When we got there a couple we're friends with were there for the weekend. We got our water aerobics and a good workout but skipped the hike.
They were having a golf cart race that day so we borrowed a golf cart from a resident that we've done business with. It'll probably mean a "special" discount next time but it'll be worth it.
The two girls drove the golf cart. My wife had never been on one and the female half of our friends has driven one many years ago.
The funniest event was the obstacle course. The driver was blind folded and the passenger gave directions. My wife was the navigator. I was drinking beer and laughing so hard I nearly fell out on my chair.
Afterwards we hung out at the outdoor pool for a while and had dinner at around 6:30pm.
At 8pm we all went and watched a screening of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," complete with audience participation props at the converted barn which was near the indoor pool.
The barn has a bar but no bathroom.
I headed to the indoor pool bathroom to recycle some used beer and walked into an interesting sight. There were some couples there that appeared to be in some rather compromising positions.
I had a Sergeant Schultz moment.
After the movie we hung out in the sauna for a little while, showered and went on home.
Today we took our recycling out and did our monthly stocking up on groceries day.
We stopped for lunch at Ruby Tuesday. I had chicken strips and since I hit my goal weight of 190 pounds, I treated myself to their chocolate cherry cheesecake.
Now we're home. My wife's working on a jigsaw and I'm sitting here on my recliner with the laptop gettin' caught up in the drift.
I've got some leather to wet and form.
Tomorrow my wife's working and I'll be headed back to the resort for water aerobics. I plan to get there early so I can check if there's any "biologicals" floating in the indoor pool.

I called my mom (born in England, 1933) and said: "with no prompting from the audience, what did you, growing up, call ball point pens"?
"Biros"!

Ladislo Biro invented the ball point pen.
The things you learn here! I thought Biro was a Brit thing.
Way back when, my partner and I were dispatched to a call for an "ill woman". As it turned out, she wasn't sick, but she had a problem with her kitchen plumbing.
Ironically, my partner was a plumber and fixed the problem for her.
Weird how stuff like that happened.
I was also a magnet for psychiatric patients. Takes one to know one, I guess.

Yay, Snubby!
I have a goal now too. To brown-bag it for breakfast and lunch at work.
I calculated, even with the frugal spending, if I kept it up, I'd be blowin' at least three truck payments a year on food not produced by me.
My garden's going to be providing tons of yummy veggies, so I'd best be usin' 'em.
Wish I could share. I've got one Sungold (orange cherry tomato) that so full of fruit it looks like grapes.
And boy, it's like eatin' sugah.
So far, Parsley and his gang haven't touched a thing.
We'll see what happens when the popcorn starts to ear-up.
Night-night, Drifty pals. Sweet sweet dreams.
P.S. I think the Universe really didn't want me to ride my Sporty yesterday.
Not only was the main fuse burnt, and the battery dead, but the soles of my favorite riding boots detached from the leather uppers!
I think Liquid Nails oughta take care of reattaching them.
Whadda ya think, Snubbyfan? Will that work?

Hey Isis, Tell us about your sporty. My third MC was a brand new '71 XLH. Was so stable at around 45 mph I learned to ride it while standing on the seat. ALWAYS have loved the look of Sportsters. To me, they are far more American classic muscle than the lumbering big twins.
Haven't been driftin' for a few days. Getting ready for a road trip to Indiana. Going to load up the Silverado with my son's stuff and deliver him to Indiana University where he will begin his two year MBA graduate program. He's done well so far, IU should be a good catalyst to a good future. It was for me, I got my Masters from there and it served me well. Have a great evening and a good night!
