One of the few benefits of living in rural WI. Places near me get the great beers that sell out fast everywhere else, but linger on the shelves here for weeks or even months.

The NHL Playoffs are finally here thread . Lets talk about it. I'm excited that Detroit is giving Mrazek the start against Tampa Bay. Should be great series.

Upvoted. Never enough Minutemen, ever.

I miss Fringe. I don't know where they could possibly take it, but I really enjoyed it.

Picked up a Founder's KBS last weekend, and was seriously underwhelmed last night when I drank it. I'm beginning to think I don't like big ABV beers anymore. I'll take an easy drinking,light, low ABV saison, berliner, etc. over barrel aged anything 9 out of 10 times these days. I think I prefer the complexity over the…

I wanted to go see them at First Ave., but I'm going to that Mr. Burns play at the Guthrie instead. (Last time I let the Mrs. Scoots choose our Saturday activity on a weekend when TMBG is playing)

Last night I had a dream where I was watching Happy Days with my grandma who passed away 15+ years ago. It was cool hanging with her again.

Got my new computer put together at work and it is great. The only bummer is the cable that came with my monitor is defective and I can't utilize full resolution. Luckily Monoprice RMA'd it and my replacement should be here next week.

How about an Almost The NHL Playoffs Thread . Is your team gonna make it?
My Red Wings are a dicey proposition at this point.

Got to check out the Surly Beer Hall over the weekend. Had me some Todd the Axe Man for the first time. It was amazing. I also sampled Cacao Bender, Cynic Ale, and Furious. The food was really good too. Will go back in the future.

Not a huge trip, but going to Chicago for a few days in less than a month. Finally gonna get to see Faith No More live!

Cowboy Dan is awesome. He is also a major player in the cowboy scene.

I ordered parts to build a work computer yesterday. All of the parts will be here tomorrow, except the case and monitor which are Friday and Monday respectively. I can't wait to actually be able to run the software I need to do my job productively.
