Well, I've been busy this morning
And there's plenty more still on the ground
There's some oak pit BBQ in my future. I can smell it. The only decision I have to make is, beef or pork? Steak or ribs? OK, how about both? And I deserve a cold Budweiser for my effort, dontcha think? Especially before they sell the company to the Yurpeons.

There'd be no point to buying Budweiser as a starting point to brew a GOOD beer. Easier, cleaner and faster to just bring over a good brewmaster from Germany, Ireland or elsewhere and give him a warehouse full of equipment here in the states. Can you imagine having to re-tune the Budweiser factory (or factories) to actually output a consistently GOOD beer? With any kind of standards or objectivity?
The euroweenies just want some of our football fan and high school kegger money. Be interesting when the football market flips its proverbial middle finger at Bud as a result and you see nothing but Miller and Coors at games.

I'm no botanist, but I think it's closest to Blue Oak. It's bigger than Scrub Oak, and loses its leaves, so its not Live Oak, which has different bark.

InBev is Belgium-Brasilian and proposed 46 Billion $ for Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser)
which was found by German Immigrants at the end of the 19th century based on the beer brand Budvar in todays Check Republic.
I wouldn't wash my feet with Budweiser beer, Bud Ice is only half bad but only Austrian beer is the real stuff. Paddy should drink Guinness anyway...

The Pious belongs to SWMBO. I'd have a dually diesel V10 F550 if she'd let me, but the 4WD Ranger is all I'm allowed.

I've never heard of that species of oak, now I want to see some. http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/blue_oak.htm
I'm a big fan of oak trees, I'm actually studying forestry right now so I can get the credentials to work on oak regeneration.

Good. Euroweenies deserve that thin, flavorless, watery brew. Thin? Yes. Watery? Quite. Flavorless? Not really. It has a flavor. It's just not a very good one.
Then again, I don't much care for beer anyway. About the only type I've ever had that I could stand was Guinness.

I just knew somebody would bring that up. I replaced the original 16" bar with the 14" you see. It rips. It's light enough for me to use with one hand, and since I'm not felling trees in the Pacific Northwest, serves my purposes just fine.

Only on APS can a discussion about fallen trees mutate into a beer quality thread.
But seriously, just because Budweiser is popular, doesn't mean it's good. It sells because it's cheap, well marketed and widely available.

My friends down there say you need something like 50 permits just to build a vacation cabin, and you can't even cut a tree off your land without a permit.
My new neighbor was out here for the past week - he was asking me what kind of permits he needed to build another building. I told him that he could build anything he wanted, and just needed a permit/inspection for sewer system.

I've been to Grant's Farm. It wasn't really very interesting to me, except for a bird show they had. Some interesting facts about how an eagle could read a headline (if it could read) from ... a long ways away.
The best part of the show was at the very end, where one of the trained birds stuck his head and a wing through a wooden cutout letter 'A', about 12 inches high, and perfectly mimiced the Anheuser-Busch logo. I dunno how they trained that bird to do that.
