Aahhhh....

New anti-fatigue mat for the garage. My dogs were barkin' after being on my feet all day recently.

 

have mats in front of my bench as well... sure beats standing on the concrete

 

I would like this twice if I could. Got 2 feets.

But I am more impressed with the bottle opener and the cap catch!!!

 

First things first!

 

You mean you don't bottle in flip-tops?

 

voila!

 

I rarely bottle anymore, I keg. But you never know when someone will show up with bottles, so I'm prepared!

 

We're prepped--two more in the fridge:

 

1965 Bamberg, Germany. 7 pfennig to refill your 1/2 liter flip-top. 4 pfennig to the penny.

 

Jeez, back then a buck could get a guy in trouble.

 

Reminds me of the Philippines, back in the Eighties, where it was said twenty bucks would get you fed, drunk and laid.

 

Yeah $20 could get you all the above but if you went back to the boat and came out a day later you would have to start over and if the first caught you, "Butterfly" took on a whole new meaning, usually in the form of a "Butterfly" knife. Now in Germany a Navy Zippo would net you free drinks all night and the Frau would wake you the next morning from under the table with breakfast. The 80's was a good time to be a single squid on the town.

Cheers,

Doc

 

If I had stayed in, been a lifer like Dad, I would've wanted to be on the Atlantic shore for a few years, just so I could do one or two 'trips' to Europe.
