This past weekend was a weekend to reflect. Recently life has kicked me square in the lunch box and just wanted to be at my happy place (cabin on the river). While there - beer was consumed. Good beer. Not a "light" to be found in the mix. Lots of beer (throw a couple of water glasses of vodka in to boot).

Then came the victim of the pent up anger.

What could possibly go wrong?

I allowed myself to laugh for the first time in awhile. Its good medicine.
 
If I had a cabin in the woods ....I would set up shop there and not come out for a very long time...good for you! Everyone needs some mental therapy sometimes...with alcohol...lol
 
Jags, damn life continues to throw the curve balls......hope things can be patched up to whatever degree. It's all a matter of making it through another day - and beer has helped many billions with that!

But the old happy place - especially if it involves a lot of being outside - is even better. I thought about this today when taking the doggie out - it was a lesson I learned when I was about 17, but have not taken enough to heart. That is, I really only feel totally whole (or mostly) when I am in nature. Everything else is a compromise.

Oh, as if all that was not depressing enough - for you unbelievers, we are headed quickly toward the winter solstice - the lower energy time of year. It's quite natural to enter the reflective/depressive mode and it's also a time of year when things (health, etc.) tend to head downhill.

No "lite" creek water allowed at my bar either Jags. I do keep a case of high gravity "hurricane" cold for those unsuspecting lite drinkers. It puts some hair on their chest with that 8.1 % alcohol content. They usually knock 3 or 4 back before it hits like a freight train.

Swedish candle for extremely tall people. That sure leaves me out.
 
That looks and sounds like a GREAT way to gain some inner peace.

Cheers!

PS. You should have carved a totem out of it before the drinking and fire. Saw time is usually good therapy too. : )
 
No beer for me :(, my doctor told me I was boarder line obese. Now that I am on probation for punching my doctor I can't drink. ;lol
 
Sounds like a splitting headache. I've learned that between the heavy bottles to take a moment to ingest some hydration or the punishment is far worse.

If you follow those BMI tables then almost everyone is overweight. I happen to be "normal" but I am much lighter than most I know.
 
Sorry things haven't been going great Jags. Last year at this time I was getting a boatload of bad news. It seems to come at this time of year. Hope things brighten up for you. In the meantime a good brew or two will help.

Drink your daily caloric limit. Swear off food and keep the alcohol.

I got a cool scale that tells you your muscle weight and water percentage too - at least it puts things in perspective.

Does it do so by sending a charge through your body?

Could you post a link to one of those?
