 Here we were, in better times. He was a retired school teacher, spent his whole life immersed in that millieu, we couldn't have been more diametrically opposed politically and philosophically, but we were as tight as can be. It was probably the weed. We called him the Professor not because he was a school teacher but rather because he was a pot connoisseur; the man carried a briefcase with so much product and gear it bordered on the absurd. And he could smoke and drink me under the table.

 @e5fdd91a I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. 🙏🏻
Sounds like you two had a great friendship. 
 @449841af He was a beautiful human being. A little too trusting of the government, he was a vaxx envangelist, but other than that, a beautiful human being. 
 Speaking of drinking, I'm now 10 days without a drop of alcohol, and I'm most impressed with the changes I've experienced in such a short time. I've dropped 5 pounds; I sleep the sleep of kings, including absolutely amazingly vivid dreams; and then there's the dooks. Tight! 
 @e5fdd91a
I wake up most days thinking how glad I am I'm not hung over. Almost 6 years now 
 @440af60e I don't get hangovers, never really get loaded, but I've always been one to have a few victory beers after a hard day's work in the yard, or a few in the evening, after dinner. And they've helped ease my broken back pain. Then again, they've heaped on calories and carbs which doesn't help my broken back pain. We'll see how long this goes but' I'm digging it thus far. 
 @440af60e The only weird thing will be making pizzas without a Moosehead or two on the go. Perhaps I'll give those Heineken  0.0's a try when I'm next in front of The Phoenix. 
 @e5fdd91a I hate to give them money, but Budweiser Zero is the best non-alcoholic beer 
 @b99a36d0 I don't think we get that up my way. 
 @e5fdd91a @440af60e I do the carbonated water in a glass bottle with a wedge of lime to fill the void 🤣🤣 
 LOOK HYAH CRACKUH ASS BITCH NIGGA CLEAN OUTCHO EAHS MUHFUHGGUH :matty_dox: 
 @f43a2aa2 @440af60e I'm just drinking filtered water and ice. I was doing the lemon wedge thing but started getting sores in my mouth. I'm not really missing the  stuff, not even missing the ritual of having something in my had. However, I had a frustrating day doing reno's a couple of days ago, and was thinking a few pints would have eased my frustration. But I perservered and stuck with water. 
 @e5fdd91a @440af60e nice! I have hot tea after work. I like spiced tea (masala chai).. iced water would probably be better 🤣 but I work outside and drink water all day so I like to feel like I’m having a treat after work 🤷🏼‍♂️🤣 
 @f43a2aa2 @440af60e I'm retired. I don't miss work one bit. 
 @e5fdd91a @440af60e I was ready to retire, but then I had kids.. so I’ll be working until I’m dead 🤣🤣 I was almost 40 when I had my first.. what was I thinking!! 🤣🤣 
 @440af60e @e5fdd91a I too gave up alcohol a while back.. I only miss the brewing aspect.. might brew again to give away.. still sitting on a few hundred pounds of grain and a freezer full of hops.. or try my hand at soda.. like root beer 🤷🏼‍♂️🤣 the keezer is lonely these days. 
 @e5fdd91a Good job man 
 @e5fdd91a great job! Keep it up! I drank 2 beers when camping in June but that was the only 2 this year. I just don't like how it makes me feel. Alcohol is a poison. It's kinda crazy how accepted it is in society while other drugs like marijuana has been looked down on over the years. Glad it's going well for you! 
 @e5fdd91a I'm sorry you lost your friend - he looks like a nice guy. 
 @e5fdd91a that’s fucked
