OMG! Is the pinecone okay?

Seriously, you deserve a couple homebrews after that. I hope nothing more than your pride was hurt.
I'm only a little sore. I went back today and gave that pinecone an butt kicking, and avoided the horse shit mostly. Like this (sorry for shakey cam, but it's hard to ski and film at the same time and not wreck in horse shit LOL).

I deserve a homebrew because I just spent the last 4 hours helping people dig out their driveways, teaching people how to shovel snow, and getting cars unstuck. Hopefully the plow will make a second pass before I actually need to leave tomorrow.

Sorry guys, I'm skipping the homebrew tonight, because I deserve something a little more heavy duty. Drinking a little clear whiskey tonight. The best it got in my shop all day today was 48 deg. and it took awhile to get there if we opened a door to bring a block of ice truck in. Just went to my barn to feed my animals and the water hydrant was froze, they aren't suppose to freeze, had to carry water from the house to the barn, driveway was slippery as snot. I'm going to put on a little Moon Glow before I head to the hot shower and then to bed and do it all over again tomorrow.

Any of you guys that are dealing with the cold deserve as much as you want right now IMO. And whether that's beer, hot chocolate, bourbon or anything else is up to you. Stay warm!

I been crawling around under my house today thawing water pipes out
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."
