Honey, Beer Me!!!

[Pilgrim]

I'm replacing my mailbox, which was beaten up this winter by the plow boys.
So I now have this extra little red mailbox flag mounted in a little plastic pivot dealy.
Here's my thought. I mount the flag on the side on the ball cap I wear when I'm out in the yard doing whatever it is I do out there. You guys know where I'm going with this? When the flag is down, all conditions are go, situation normal. BUT!, when the flag is up it is a signal to the wife that an emergency delivery of the King of Beers is required for the King of the Castle!

I spoke to her about my plan at lunch today and I'm not really sure how she feels about it.
The good news is we're having poultry for dinner tonight as she was mumbling something about turkey as she was walking away.

The Pilgrim.

Pilgrim,

You are toast my friend. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I would wait a few weeks to test your new "flagging" system. Try it and report the results to us..... if you can.... /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Hmmm, I thought being "flagged" meant no more for you. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

This could be confusing.

Hokey smokes Bullwinkle, Homer Simpson is now a TBNer! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

 

[Golfgar4]

OOO! OOO! Maybe we can get Muhammad to add a movable red flag to the TBN hats! /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif Strictly as an option, you understand. After all, we have to recognize that one or two of us out there may not drink beer! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

 

[TerryinMD]

That many not drinking beer!!!???!!! That may be a little high, don't you think.... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

YOU are Gonna be beat with a frying pan MAN..the things you wish you could say...long list ;o)

 

[Pilgrim]

Hi Guys,
When (if) my 4110 is delivered I will post some pics, including my new “Beer Me” flagging system.

Best Regards,
The Connecticut Pilgrim

PS: I have hidden a package of peas in the back of the freezer /w3tcompact/icons/clever.gif in case my new system doesn’t function as planned. They are excellent for minimizing swelling when hit with a frying pan, rolling pin or flowerpot.

 

[mrolson]

And how about a yellow flag on the other side of the hat to indicate "please run to town for diesel" ?

 

[Dozernut]

Hey Pilgrim! I always wanted to say that/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif (the Duke was my hero). Made a mistake and showed your suggestion to my wife and told her what a fine idea this was/w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif. She said the white tail deer show their flags when they run away. She killed an enormous buck last year( I was skunked/w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif]and I don't think I want my head mounted beside it. She mumbled something about flags making good targets/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif. Your own your own buddy!

Pilgrim, Boy did you get me in trouble. My wife was standing next to me when I opened your post. She laughed, and then said " Don't even think about it". As for the Frying Pan thing, I was at a public sale recently, and bought some Griswald Pans. I joked with my friends, that I bought small ones so they wouldn't hurt so much. We may have to test them out. Thanks I got a good laugh out of that one. If you decide to sell those hats let me know. Kent

I'm pretty sure the 3 pt could hold a pretty sizable cooler./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Well, I'm one of those who doesn't, but if those hats catch on I can learn. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

That might be ok if you get the "Beer of Kings", Bud-Var. That "King of Beer" Bud stuff might be ok to fill your tires with for ballast; the alcohol should keep it from freezing/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

After a quality time on the tractor, you deserve quality beer!

Budwieser is trying to buy Bud Var; has been for years. They want the "Bud" name to themselves. It is the real Budwieser, and is the beer of kings, literally. Budvar is made from water in it's home town of Budweis.

and those one or two inhale it instead of drinking it??

Good idea /w3tcompact/icons/clever.gif..but what if the better half decides to send it air mail /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif/w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif..ouch

 

[Devildog]

Pilgrim, You might want to wait on posting any pics till you heal/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif Them pea's might come in handy. I am on your side and hope the trial run works out ok, But you know as with any system you have to work the bugs out/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Dog,
I will post real time pictures of the deployment of the “Beer Me” system.
No prototyping, no phased in roll out, it’s full cut over and go live baby!
I will “qualify” the Wife on the “system” before I head out and then let the chips fall where they may.
I will be wearing NO special physical protective gear of any type! No football helmet, flack jacket, hockey goalie armor OR protective cup! This will be “real world”.
I’m looking at a +/-3 week delivery date for the JD4110.
Please pray for me.

Best Regards,
The Connecticut Pilgrim.

Looks like June is gonna be a good month for receiving new toys and a bad month for receiving headaches - either self imposed by adult beverages or from the CFO when the flag goes up!! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
