One of my favourite beers is Sierra Nevada, here in Croatia my Bro-in-law has them in the fridge at hotel. He'll give me one and i leave it for 15mins to let it warm up π» Are you already there? Yes π weather is slowly improving, but i think it'll be better next week. Send your travelling companions in the sea first π

IPA, Rioja, Islay. I have a theory, if a drink doesnt taste good at room temp it doesnt actually taste good. Ah, now you Gents are speaking my language. All that physics and engineering goes over my head. Unfortunately, although I love a handcrafted beer, beer has ceased to be kind to me in my dotage. A nice red burgundy, or, as Mr. Glenn says above, a supple small batch bourbon is how I get my pleasure these days. I'm particularly fond of Colonel Taylor small batch. Although it's owned by Buffalo Trace, the folks who put it together know bourbon whiskey. Fido, check your messages.

[ Snip ] Well, seeing as you live upsidedown, im not that suprised your country folk would attempt something as sacrilegious as that!!!! You're right. The blood rushes to our heads and we have to have something to cool it down. We think of beer as coolant.

Dr Spencer would be so proud that a topic in his name has devolved into a discussion in praise of adult beverages ππ₯πΊ

Its a crazy place, the front is a bar with a classic roman style pool surrounded by ornate marble columns. They hire this out plus showcase their stuff. Out back is many stone slabs, blocks etc going to a workshop with 2 big cutting disks etc. To me it looks like woodwork stuff but bigger. To one side is a wonky shelf system, it appears one shelf is for unopened beer bottle crates, one shelf is for bottles being consumed, one is the crates where empties go..... We go there to get what ever bits of stone we need, usually for a threshold or something like that. Very cheap custom cut ππ Next time ill take a pic walnut!

Lots of people with back pain in sympathy mode. Me too. Left a message plugging the "sacrowedgy"(.com) a wonderful little device invented by a sports orthopedist that has eliminated my lower spine pain. Decompresses the sacral area by just laying on it.

I got an inversion table. Works absolute wonders. So did I. I have the pieces awaiting assembly ... next few days. I've heard great stories and have great expectations. The wedgy took the edge off. Now the inversion to decompress the whole column regularly.

Left a message plugging the "sacrowedgy"(.com) a wonderful little device invented by a sports orthopedist that has eliminated my lower spine pain. Decompresses the sacral area by just laying on it. Anti-inflammatories, keeping weight down, staying active and icing after exercise are all good things for those nerves passing through tight spaces. Less than a mm is the difference between normal and agony. Letting gravity help decompress on an inversion table makes total sense. The syndrome is inflamed nerve trapped between vertebral bodies swells becoming more inflamed causing more swelling...victim lies on couch and gains 20 or 30 pounds while losing muscle mass that would help support the spine. 10 or 20 years of that is hard to reverse. I work in the MRI industry and see this every day.

I found a traction corset with long straps. Put two bricks under the foot of the bed. 'Manufactured' a pulley and weights over an old chair at the raised end of the bed. Hooked the straps to a rigid plastic tube (electrical conduit?) and attached it to the pulley. I would come home from the service station, have something to eat, have a shower and hook myself up. After a week to ten days of this traction, I usually came good. On weekends, I spent most of my time in the rig. Imagine something like this: Oops, wrong picture. Try this one:
