Beer has enabled me to get far more yardwork done in a day than I reasonably should - if I drink enough, I don’t feel the pain until the next day, when I have a nice little hangover to go with. Well, Sunday’s supposed to be a day of rest, anyway.

I'm really done now, but there was a time, I'd be putting on a roof, and around 2, the drive to quitting time seemed really uphill. It was in a way. Anyways the dilemma amongst us crew was whether to send out for a 12 pack, or a case. If it was a case, we were all done. But a couple of beers were instant aspirin and a bolt rise in blood sugar and we would carry through in good spirits.

Of course today with the anally retentive security state the idea of roofing with beers in you would horrify the government clerks.

So few people do actually manual labor anymore that the beer/hard work culture is gone.

Coal, steel mills, construction, laundries, mills, fishing...all powered by beer.

Now everyone is fat lazy, lives in house and work in building that they don't even know one person that built them.

AC not working quite right, oh...a horrible day at work. Veritable Joseph Conrad horror..
